Stupid, why grow grain on a slope like that? Do they not have flatter ground for that purpose? I have been reading Louis Bromfield's books and this reminds me of the unsustainable farming practices that he talks about. I really hope that they are at least smart enough to be using no till practices.
why is this stupid? not trying to be rude or attack just wondering why?
they live in Switzerland, probably born there, family there so they make a living there. Why is this stupid. They work with the hand they were dealt. Do the best they can and utilize John Deere technology to do it.
Story:
When my family first immigrated to Canada we were "given" 160 acres of farmland as settlers.
It was a swamp! I mean a real swamp!! we worked the land best we could, we improved the ground, we raised multi generations, we took no hand outs other than the land promised to immigrate and settle. We never went on social assistance and we donated to our church regularly. OUr family raised labourers, entrepreneurs, doctors and engineers. We couldn't afford our first tractor BUT a road crew left a bull dozer broken down next to our land as it was unfixable. The municipality said we could have it if we wanted. Well we fixed it and used it to work our land for many many years till we could afford what some would call a real tractor. Dam we were proud of everything we had and built on our farm.
I would be offended severely if someone called me stupid for working hard and raising a family on the hand which I was dealt.
Cheers and I raise a glass to all those who do the very best with what they have. Whether your equipment is held together with bailing twine or brand new shiny Green (or orange or red or yellow). See a problem / make a solution and raise your family strong.
