A day in the life of a Romanian
farmer
An early start at about 6 am
leaves hardly any room for eating when there are so many farm animals eager to
receive their first meal of the day. And the Romanian farmer is reputed to ho 737q1621h st
an entire zoo on the grounds around the farm. Chickens, hens, cats, dogs,
hares, sheep, cows, horses, pigs and even some unwanted pests from the forests,
like hawks, foxes, crows, rats and even wolves. Dangerous though they seem to
be, the farmer does anything in his power to keep them away from his animals,
making sure they stay very far off. One
might ask himself what all these farm animals eat. The answer to that is very
simple: The farmer, besides the farm grounds, also possesses terrains on which
he either cultivates cereal and other eatable plats or he uses the grass to
make hay, a food source for cattle, sheep and horses. And the production of hay
is a very demanding process. The grass is cut using mowers, left to dry, then
spread around until it is completely dry. When so, the farmer huddles it all
together and packs it up on high sticks or takes it home for the animals to
eat. This source of nutrients is very resistant to weather conditions and can
be used all through the cold winter. Provided with food, the farm animals provide
the farmer with food he can eat, like eggs, milk, meat, so on and so forth.
