Karsten Dudziak has to work a weekend shift on the farm in Sophienhof near Neustrelitz. It rained a lot last week. But the sun has been shining for days now: the ideal weather for harvesting corn from the fields. Since Karsten does not have a combine harvester, he also has to adapt to the contractor who is doing the harvest. He has grown 90 hectares of corn this year. In Schleswig-Holstein, the pregnant brood mares on the Kriseby stud farm will soon have to vacate the paddock because the animals will be kept in the barn over the winter. Tasty feed should grow back during this time, so Wulf-Heiner Kummetz must sow again now at the latest. To do this, he has invited grass professional Georg Biss to the farm. He is supposed to help him find the right seed so that the harvest is worthwhile next year. Gardener Jens Wöbb has to protect his cleared lily of the valley sprouts from nematodes in Hamburg-Altengamme. To do this, he drives around 15,000 seedlings to a gardener friend of his. He has also been growing lilies of the valley for years and has built a kind of steel whirlpool for the seedlings to kill the nematodes. The plants have to spend an hour in a water bath at almost 50 degrees to kill all the pests. In the Harz foothills on Hof Thudt, they want to sort out bull calves. They are now too old to run with the large herd. A job that requires everyone to concentrate so that no one gets hurt. The young bulls already weigh around 250 kilograms and all have their own will. And once they have chosen the wrong direction, it becomes even more difficult to catch them. _______________________________________________ Our guidelines for comments: https://www.ndr.de/service/technische... #ndr #ndraufmland #hofgeschichten
