Germ Hooisma

Every day he milks fourteen cows by hand. 

Germ Hooisma from Akmarijp notices that his 78 years are starting to count, but he thinks his farm is beautiful. He has the storage of silage outside the village, near the land on which the cows graze in the summer. The winter conditions force him to practical solutions. 

Before he gets a few bales, he first lets the engine of the tractor warm up. ,, Otherwise it will not be anything with the lift. The oil is then too cold to put pressure on. '' Hooisma gets three or three bales at once; then he can go a few days ahead.
