they are stressed in the barn. a cow is about to give birth, but something's wrong about peter. i hear you. can you hear me? yeah, i can. yes, i hear you too. coming up in the barn. now things have to move fast. the caliph isn't a breach position in the room. the peter and his father, antonia's to mind, have attended to lots of difficult birds assessment that's kind of looked at when the time comes. i backwards the umbilical cord my here with the head and body still in sight and the comp suffocating safety desktop. yes, i did. some of this trying to find that's come to it's rare, but when it happens,
10:47 am
it's important to act fast. archive is mostly tough by themselves. thank goodness and carolina minutes after the birth, the cow and her newborn calf are doing well. they are 2 of some 200 animals on the 2 men farm in eastern west valley is hooks to district at 90 hector's, with around 120 dairy cows and an annual turnover of about 600000 euros. it's a typical family farm during the good years that makes about 100000 bureaus and profit, most of which comes from e u in german states subsidies. peter trained to be a farmer. he's the 5th generation of his family to work the land. and he hopes he won't be the last. there might have to decide if you think ahead, a goal is to have the operation over to the next generation even done it. so it's important to find a partner to have children with that. and so if in with them and then can not, he's been searching the area villages and on the internet. but so far,
10:48 am
no luck. and little wonder, considering what a normal day on the farm is like. it is. and what model have we started at 530 this morning, so we get the livestock bed on time when gets or i don't know when will be quitting, probably around 10 or 11. we can see exactly right now. not every work day is that long. they can only work outside in fair weather. most of the money is made from milk. a little extra comes from growing. wait. is it worth all the hard work? peter and his father worked out that the average about 13 euros in our net income for the year from a co signer system. would that be enough for a future farmer's wife, in 1970 germany had over 1000000 farmers. since then over $34.00, it's deb hung up their overalls. peter can understand that, especially after slaving away for days alone can advertise the boy. i helped types of loans closed back. then i knew i wanted to become
10:49 am
a farmer to to i always wanted to do. my father and grandfather had done that for me. like, oh, apartment 5. as you get older and complete your training, you wonder and yet is this the right thing to do? i want to do this for the long haul, know this stuff. i just wish to go next e stuff though, on the all the while the demands on the farmers keep on growing. for instance, when animals have health problems. before i receive off the coast, got milk fever, i knew from yesterday the co had her fist casa, by may a problem. dairy cattle have is not producing enough calcium initial stages, especially in older codes. that's a problem. and so we gave her a little policy of injection the out. this is a metabolic disorder. the couch doesn't have the strength to stand up. her pulses fading. yes, code symposium has to go into a vein or an archery. and that's what i'm looking florida. when do we hit without treatment, in the worst case is,
10:50 am
milk fever can end in the animals stuff. at one time, it was up to a veterinarian to treated dairy. farmers have been taking on more and more of their tasks. the same applies to the artificial insemination of cows to induce pregnancy . it's performed at this farm about $150.00 times a year. that's called a family. a sperm is deep frozen. we have to solitary your phone so it can then take effect inside the code on a vehicle consultant. can this also used to be done by a veterinarian that costs money. so now peter's father takes on the task. this is illegal, i'm positing the seaman and i you terrain horn have been right or left. it doesn't really matter. and quincy pig on everything has to be recorded every insemination. every birth of a calf, every medication administered, and whether or not fertilizer has been applied. applications for
10:51 am
e u. agriculture will subsidies are several pages long, multiple copies of reports on environmental and animal welfare standards go to local, federal and you authorities. so good to so the co insemination went fine, so we did that down, you know, they spend about one hour on paper work every day. german farmers have been complaining about the red tape for years. it leaves them less time to work with a live stock, which is what gives peter to mind so much satisfaction. when, for instance, he shows a calf. how to stucco that tube or does it for the whole nature to use the this is survive. when does heist o in time? mean some of the animals don't make it because for instance, and if they don't find the teach right away and they die sky, i'm done. so since we're keeping an eye of the eyes on them, i get them all the opportunity to learn it from the eyes. the song stuff it's really on or the newborn calf is one example. it's somewhat less satisfying,
10:52 am
but just as important to clean out the barn, the crew of van mark always gets paid in the morning and have enough food for 24 hours before we put it out. we give the feeding table a good sweetie to make sure it's thoroughly clean. it's all by if you're the remaining folder, a way to make room for the fresh feed. when i get to the phone line, north of cal gives around 30 leaders of milk for day. so the farm produces 323500 leaders of milk daily. yeah. how about all the robot notes? because the milk is collected here until the coast be no dry, then it's pump to pass through the filter here and on into the tank dining. and i'm talking to you, it's cool to fortunately celsius and the theory picked it up every to the i talked with funding low. can i afford the cows have to learn to hit the milking unit regularly. it's harder for shy cows. the farmers tried to calm them down. finest.
10:53 am
yeah, you're fine cuz i really find one and so good until you see me. oh wow. sure. it'll be all right. as we get to know an automated milking system costs over 150000 euros. not only does it cut down on labor, it also helps to monitor the cows health using sensors. that goal support head. it's all because we're color. it tells me straight up if the code that i'm shooting enough, i the, if she's had an exercise or not to the v, then i can give the animals the no problem here. and in an emergency, for instance, when cut also cold. that's an area myself and normally that tells do quite well for a few years the 2 months farm had been in organic one observing very strict requirements on the use of chemicals. the new conditions demand a lot from the whole family stuff deep. so me see what literally works for me. no, because i can do it with my father. and if i'd had to make the transition on my own, i mean it would have been too much for people,
10:54 am
but we have so much to be learned and pay attention to the i need of often listen. for example, what goes into the style ej to be fed to the lives talk on this farm? it's a mixture of grass, clover corn, green and father being meal 6 tons of it every day. storing this silage through the summer isn't art. it has to be concentrated, so it won't mode impact air tight so rainwater won't contaminated and then a catalogue of legal restrictions on silage has to be observed for the protection of the environment and the livestock. it's one thing to produce organic milk, another to sell it. lots of customers want organic milk. i know that was the one has to buy it. if it costs a bit more, it might be that we noticed, that's a problem. people don't like to spend the money for it. like most german farmers, the 10 months have conservative values on sunday antonius,

to mine attends catholic mass in a nearby town. the father peter your ministers to the congregation. he used to work as a student pastor, endorsement. he's these faith in nature as closely intertwined down to doc. they celebrate thanksgiving very differently here than in the city dot. they are, it's always very present to them. that's a level of off and i'm more along the lines of solidarity with the poor and so on. the 8th, with an ottoman on some items. i was all in welling. good, big here about you sense very direct by. wow. i live from this all. but now back to the farm. the 2 months have some news in advance training course. peter met 26 year old elizabeth spine, live from bavaria. she also grew up on a farm and she studied the ground to me. she and peter have decided to move in together. live how color wasn't an easy decision actual, especially since i'll be giving up quite to los at home. though i've built up the
10:56 am
funds so much the past few years. and of course my parents or grandparents and siblings will be far away. nope, just around the corner, there's few 100 kilometers away no. later. but all that was outweighed by the dream of building a life together and independently of peter's parents with whom they're also living for now. yeah, as the 1st of all, we'll have to give them things a complete to make of them and get everything into their place. i can, there's lots of room for ideas. thank goodness, i'm not moving into an already finished department. and then we both really want children and we'll probably get started on that sometime next year. i showed him next. we also got some good. yep. peter is taking over the farms management until now he and his father made all the decisions together in the future. elizabeth will also have a stay in matters. it's quite me is not to be totally looking forward to it please . i'm over join about which of course we'll have to see how things settle in here.
10:57 am
that's essentially living together is one aspect and working together on the farm is another good. mine's on the all biting off. i move as we don't yet have a clear idea of how does that all work out in the long run my phone. so near peter to mind is used to uncertainty fluctuating milk prices, cattle giving birth, and following ill changeable weather and bureaucracy. but now he's looking forward to a whole new life on the farm. with elizabeth at his side, the healthy all the calls of lucy researches from switzerland,
