a family business run by. and his brother over the last few years the two have completely modernized the farm one example is the new cow shed all of it has been funded by e.u. subsidies there are around fifty thousand euros each year and. the subsidies from the e.u. help us a lot or we apply for projects funding like for the new shed things wouldn't be going nearly so well without the even money. we couldn't use that i'm bishop's. beauty. the cows provide around four thousand liters of milk each year just fall off of what the turbot cows on german farms produce. then milked twice a day by the six laborers who work in the shed. the farm is the region's biggest employer. its owners have also invested in some water buffalo
