Too much work for far too little money – many farmers can barely make ends meet, dairy farmers in particular suffer from milk prices that are far too low. So new concepts and a lot of education are needed – farmer Bettina Hueske is trying to do just that.
Even as a child, Bettina Hueske knew very well: I would take over my parents’ farm. She is now responsible for 140 cows, among other things, has set up a farm shop and . But not everything is as romantic as it seems, she says in the 326th edition of the podcast “important today”: “For several years it has been extremely difficult to keep the business going financially. Especially in the dairy cattle sector, in the last two or three years, it was actually almost impossible, we had to finance it completely from outside and see that we could somehow pay the bills. And that is also the reason for many that they no longer continue the farm.”
Although Bettina Hueske is basically on call 24 hours a day because a cow is about to calf or maybe the milking machine breaks down, she lives for this job. “We always call it work-work balance – but in fact the reasons why we do this job are working in nature, with animals, in the cycle of nature, also being your own boss, of course, also showing responsibility .”
It is up to us consumers who we support
But one thing is particularly important to farmer Bettina: “What is super important is that you don’t just say that you want to buy regionally, but actually do it. Every consumer wants that in surveys, in the end the shopping basket contains cheap frozen goods from abroad and that doesn’t help us farmers in Germany”says Bettina im “important today”-Interview. At least those who can afford it should rather use regional products and sometimes do without non-seasonal products.
