[00:00:00] "quite happy, how much have you gotten, what,
[00:00:03] well, winter barley yielded 6.8
[00:00:07] was the average, which is not very high, but not
[00:00:11] very bad either, then rapeseed surprised
[00:00:14] positively, something like 5.55 I think
[00:00:17] was the average, well, those that have been sold
[00:00:21] and haven't been weighed exactly yet, other things haven't been
[00:00:24] sold that precisely yet, and peas also yielded a little less
[00:00:28] because my peas were on drought-prone land
[00:00:32] and there was a bit of drought too, and well, but no
[00:00:35] about 3,200 I think it was per
[00:00:39] hectare, so we are also satisfied, but you are on schedule, you have
[00:00:43] wheat here and oats there, right? Yes, when
[00:00:46] will you harvest those? Well, as it dries now, I
[00:00:50] think we will start with oats, oats dry well with the wind
[00:00:53] and if the weather is let's say here for seven to
[00:00:56] eight days, then it will be harvested, so time-wise it's good.
[00:01:14] In fact, we had a big plan to harvest grain today, but I understand that we can't,
[00:01:16] we can't, yes, because the rain spoiled it for us
[00:01:20] already, already yesterday at noon or at three, the rain came
[00:01:24] and then it spoiled our work and and you can't
[00:01:27] fight the weather, so we have to be patient, but some have already been taken from the field,
[00:01:30] I see, yes, we still started here the day before yesterday
[00:01:33] evening.
[00:01:41] I understand that this is your faithful machine that beautifully
[00:01:43] works these fields, yes, it's indeed the fourth season this
[00:01:47] year, so yes, there will always be breakdowns,
[00:01:51] but we have managed so far, one
[00:01:55] day a belt broke, then luckily, usually we don't have
[00:01:58] one to take from our own stock, but... then there was one available immediately and the work continued
[00:02:02] again.
[00:02:07] So how is the farmer's life now? Is the farmer inherently
[00:02:11] rich? No, not all old sayings apply
[00:02:13] anymore, but you can't complain too much, we,
[00:02:17] well, let's say for an island
[00:02:20] island farmer, there are additional costs of course, because if
[00:02:23] for example, grain transport mostly goes to
[00:02:27] the port, then every seventh
[00:02:30] load is like free to give away, joking that
[00:02:33] I always talk to colleagues that Tartu men go to the fair
[00:02:37] with a truck, they don't have it, and
[00:02:40] and and and Harjumaa men borrow this
[00:02:43] cargo bike, they have to transport their wool, and there's no cost, right, but
[00:02:47] for the men from the far corner, it's a bit more complicated, but we'll manage.
[00:02:50] Yes.
[00:02:53] But it would help if there was this bridge,
[00:02:55] not, yes, of course it would help, I've never been asked about it,
[00:02:59] right? Because my father is also 93 years old and he
[00:03:03] has been a truck driver all his life and driven, and then he
[00:03:06] sometimes in the newspaper when asked if you want to and then he
[00:03:09] was so angry, they ask such a person who has perhaps crossed once a year or
[00:03:13] once in their lifetime, to call
[00:03:16] me so I can tell you that I have waited for the ferry for three months
[00:03:19] and traveled for 24 hours,
[00:03:22] so I know how things really are.
[00:03:26] And a bridge would of course be, well, of course, for someone
[00:03:30] who crosses once, but if you cross constantly and
[00:03:34] everything, how much have I sped because
[00:03:38] I might still catch the last ferry, well, I would have paid all my money if
[00:03:41] I had been caught.
[00:03:53] This is a workshop and a machine shed,
[00:03:56] so in one part we do some
[00:04:00] assembling here, if necessary, and
[00:04:03] the other half is for storage, but how often are the machines
[00:04:06] inside? Well, not very often, and there
[00:04:10] is the winter storage for agricultural machinery, yes, let's say
[00:04:12] cultivators, sprayers, combine harvesters, I don't
[00:04:16] want them to be outside today, because I always wished for
[00:04:20] such an option, that machines wouldn't stand outside, because today there is
[00:04:24] a lot of plastic, then sensors, things, well, snow
[00:04:27] and sun and...
[00:04:30] "You've received many awards, the wall is full of diplomas, you even received the president's
[00:04:33] recognition, yes, it must have
[00:04:36] happened here, I don't know, it came as a
[00:04:40] surprise, that okay, I've also been in cultivation competitions
[00:04:44] for a long time, so there's that thing, that
[00:04:47] on the racetrack you see next to you how fast someone else is running, so
[00:04:51] you push harder, but there you don't know, you think you got
[00:04:54] a good result, but someone else might get a better one, mhm, and
[00:04:58] today you received the president's recognition?" " Yes, I received the president's
[00:05:01] recognition, yes, what did that feel like? Well,
[00:05:05] in that sense, it was, let's say, the handing over was
[00:05:09] quite okay, because you look at... well, there aren't
[00:05:13] only people there, that not everyone is
[00:05:16] like prominent people
[00:05:19] and party members, but there were quite a lot of ordinary people too,
[00:05:22] so that was quite nice, yes, you have
[00:05:26] the workshop wall filled with
[00:05:29] diplomas and there are horns on the table too, why? These
[00:05:33] are because we have such animals and there are
[00:05:37] quite a lot of them, they leave their horns
[00:05:40] on the fields, then in spring...
[00:05:42] around March, they shed them and
[00:05:46] you can find them in rapeseed fields, well, they are also
[00:05:49] dangerous, because they can get into tires, luckily mine haven't, but I have
[00:05:53] seen them with colleagues when tires are being repaired
[00:05:56] and, that if you drive over them, then they are indeed quite
[00:05:59] strong and sharp, otherwise stones are collected, in Saaremaa horns are collected,
[00:06:03] we have more or less collected the stones, some still come,
[00:06:06] but the boys have put them up, but since there are so many of them,
[00:06:09] then there are... let's say
[00:06:13] piles in some places.
[00:14:09] "I'll put it under first, I didn't want to break that big root.
[00:14:13] Tree roots grow directly
[00:14:16] under the eyes of scientists, well, this is something that
[00:14:19] a person usually never sees
[00:14:22] in their life.
[00:14:25] Pärnu Bay is Estonia's most important fishing ground
[00:14:28] for coastal fishermen. In order to see how the fish in Pärnu
[00:14:32] Bay are doing, we have come with scientists
[00:14:35] on a trawling trip.
