I only grow my own hay and sell what I don´t need myself, so no real professional farmer. But I can drive tractors and know all the chores of agricultural work. Becoming a "Pferdewirt", a professional rider, in Germany also includes being taught everything about land management that somehow connects to managing a horse farm...haymaking, for example. Pasture management etc...when to mow if you need specific hay, low on proteins, for example etc.
PS: You don´t have to be a super rich guy to drive one of those monsters. Often, farmers work in cooperatives and buy those machines together. There´s also a possibility to drive those monsters if you are working for a "Lohnunternehmen" , basically hired farm hands. Rented workers sitting on rented huge tractors are quite common in agriculture..at least in Germany.
What in the world do you do for a living then?... [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title="xD" width="20" /> you always talk about being around these equine circles so I thought you were a farmer, or... horse keeper thing?... at least if you are one of those Pferdewirt things, according to google translate; or do you live just on the hay thing.
When I was in hamburg I saw a lot of horse stuff but never expected to make such an industry specially because they seemed to be very limited in movement (and a lot of people seemingly didn't like them).
You guys make me all feel like a kid, I mean I am young, but geez, I feel like I am talking to an old farmer or something and I am just like, well... I can code, do science, and invest... and then I get bad looks because I can't even plant a flower in a pot :< and I am skinny and weak [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title="xD" width="20" /> surrounded by farmers, truck drivers, and who knows... so out of place.
