Kun viljelijä uupuu. (When the farmer is lacking)

[bcp]

Looks like a commercial cleanup of a farm.

Google translation of the title and caption don't tell much.

"Should we be more interested in the well-being of the Finnish food producers and food production harnessed animals. Would consumers talkooapua farms?"

Anyone translate the dialog to tell what and why?

While I am not always the tidiest person, I simply cannot understand people that can't get rid of garbage. Or old vehicles.

My neighbor was like that. A cash cropper bought the place, set fire to the house and outbuildings and buried the junk. I have mixed feelings. Fence lines buried too. It's all so impersonal.

So which side of this fence are you standing on???

That tells story when one farmer just get very tired, frustrate and get very depressed, when everything start to get loosing a part, He (Tauno is name) is trying to run farm just by himself... too much work.. things is comes in this point to over a years.. long period on time, maybe 10 - 15 years...
Obviously is sure He can not get in track by himself anymore...

Gang what comes in that farm is group in local entrepreneurs, they hobby is make this kind volunteer works to help other entrepreneurs or local citizens how really needs help to they situations..

In that case they clear up farm to unnecessary junk, make some fix on buildings and farm machines etc.. and they promise to give more help in future... nice story and I wish Tauno is right track now... :thumbsup:

Some people just don't like to throw stuff away, and after some time it gets too overwhelming. My Wife's Grandmother was like that. She had 96 years of accumulated stuff, and it took us months after she died to get a handle on it. We filled three 20-yard roll-off dumpsters from the house, garage, and part of the barn, as well as some stuff just randomly sitting around the property. We currently have a 30-yard roll-off sitting there for materials from the remodel, and hopefully finishing cleaning out the barn.

Nice to see these people helping guys like Tauno. Kudos.

My dad has gotten better but he used to never throw things away, he would put it on a shelf or in the old shop. My brother or I would be working on something and say we need "X" dad would say I got one of those and go digging, we were usually done working on whatever it was before he found it. I ask him one time why do you hang onto so much stuff? He thought for a minute and said the only thing that I can think of is "it's from growing up poor."

"it's from growing up poor."

Same for my Wife's G'ma. She grew up in the Great Depression, in a house with a dirt floor in Tennessee (never been there, but family tells us it's still standing). If anything had any potential usefulness, it was kept. I like to tease my Wife when she tells me to throw something away by pausing and saying, "Are you sure? Because you never know ..." I try not to say that if she's holding anything dangerous. :laughing:
