Raju Farms

Raju started this place at H. No:-4-68 in Dasaripally a good while back. It is right in the Narsampet area of Warangal. Farming here is not a hobby, it is just what we do to get by. Every morning starts with checking the water and seeing what the bugs are doing to the leaves. It gets very warm in the afternoons, so we usually take a break then. The soil in Dasaripally has its own way of working. Some crops like it more than others. We don't use big words to describe what we do. It is just digging, planting, and waiting for things to grow. The house is right there next to the plots, so there is no commute. If something breaks at midnight, we are already there to see it. It can be stressful when the rains don't come on time, but that is farming for you. We keep the tools in the shed behind the main house. Life moves a bit slower here than in the big cities. We see the same faces every day and talk about the same things like the harvest or the local market. It is a simple setup at 4-68. We just focus on the ground and the sky. Raju is usually out there somewhere if he isn't fixing the tractor. It is a lot of work but it is our work.
