Beispielgeschichte Dies ist ein Beispiel. Es zeigt, wie eine Geschichte in Vicky’s World aussehen kann.
Wanjiru Dairy
I keep twelve dairy cows on two acres and grow napier grass for feed. Every morning the milk goes to the cooling centre by motorbike.
A normal day starts early. Before breakfast we walk around the yard, check the animals and the weather, and decide what needs doing first.
The seasons set the pace here. Spring is for sowing and young animals, summer for long days in the field, and autumn for bringing everything in before the rain.
We try to improve one thing every year. Sometimes that is a new machine, but more often it is something small that saves us time or makes the work easier.
Was bedeutet es für Sie, Landwirt zu sein?
Being a farmer means being responsible for living things every day of the year. The animals and the land do not know a day off, and we would not want it any other way.
Worauf sind Sie auf Ihrem Hof besonders stolz?
That I can train other farmers now. Twice a month I show young farmers how to make silage, so they have feed in the dry season.
Was macht Ihnen an Ihrer Arbeit am meisten Freude?
The early mornings, when the yard is still quiet and you can see what the day will bring. And the moment a harvest comes in or a calf stands up for the first time: that never gets old.
