At the Sannmann nursery in Hamburg-Ochsenwerder, broad beans are being planted in the fields again after 15 years. Manager Markus Walkusch-Eylandt and trainee Jule are sitting on a 60-year-old planting machine that drives and steers itself and draws furrows in the soil. They try to plant the broad beans in the ground every ten to 15 centimeters. Christine Bremer is working on a very special project on her poultry farm together with the University of Bonn. She keeps a new type of crossbreed of chickens that could possibly become established in agriculture. On this day, an agricultural scientist is coming to make a final assessment of the chicken breed, which does not yet have an official name and which Christine calls sugar snails. In the stable at Hof Berg in Schleswig-Holstein, the manure scraper is broken and the traction cable has broken off. Falk Teschemacher and trainee Änne want to repair it. First they have to unwind the rope with the wheel loader, then Änne has to clean the gutter in the stable so that the rope can be threaded back in. But the breeding bull Amaretto has another idea. He would rather be stroked extensively and expresses this loudly and clearly. If all goes well, Daniel Wehmeyer does not have to intervene with a herd of mother cows. The mothers take care of their offspring. But one cow has not accepted her calf, another has lost her calf during birth. Now the two are to be brought together. A task that the cattle breeder has to tackle with a lot of patience. ________________________________________ The North Reportage https://www.ndr.de/dienordreportage Farm stories https://www.ndr.de/hofgeschichten The North Story https://www.ndr.de/dienordstory _________________________________________________ Our guidelines for comments: https://www.ndr.de/service/technische...
