I then lived very much among the hill farmers. It has shaped my life very much, this simplicity. I was much on the farms, to diversity. And always have been through all the work. I learned to milk by hand, first with the goats, then the cows. And then I also can own. I then worked on the field with. At that time the miners were still farmland. As it has for example the earth is the lowest furrow always have to create at the top because it's so steep. Otherwise, everything would slipped deeper and deeper. And since you had a strange device, Vorpflug of wood, only the "Six" was made of iron. And drawn by people. Two people have taken in a loop, the plow, the farmer has had to hold and has cut the ground. So, cut the grass, around the time in strips of 20, 30 centimeters. And then the next day the whole family with the Kröhl ... This plow, I once pulled even two and a half hours, as I said. "If I want to describe something, or should, then there must I also made myself not go, just and photograph" And the next work was then still with the Kröhl , a three-or four-pointed iron instrument, how to play to these scratch marks inside. And then you have this, what else does the plow, made by hand. Three or four people next to each other with much force that whole piece of turf, rolled around this strip. And then you have the need but still broken. It was also hard work. I want to say or show just how much work can it be until the meadows are green and the field is made in the case.
