"The spider-yes





on Agraria Wels year made agricultural machinery manufacturer with a in a very large, as if Wels Hannover Agritechnica. Huge tractors with 250 or more horsepower in the harsh spotlight, Saatbeetkombination, five, six meters wide, Riesenpflüge and sprayers in barely 15 meters. Not to mention the combines do not. In between sellers in the fine cloth, sometimes with broad grins and chumming smirking. Almost like a bad movie.

Many farmers shook their heads, many were not with the tension behind the mountain. "The spider-yes". As one could well stay at home. "For us there is nothing."

Hardly anywhere else is at such fairs as the average Austrian farmers so dramatically made aware that he is a discontinued model appears to be. With an average of 20 hectares, he formulated pointedly, not even enough space to turn around with such machines. Not to mention the fact that he can not afford.

But at least he may have in the halls and look into it.

course So, as one might wish, but this is perhaps no more. For many companies in industry and commerce while the farmers to share in a two-tier society. Speeches of course no one likes to admit it, and certainly not like it: But more and more look very well whom to invite submissions and where and who gets information and who is not.

The address lists of many companies are finely chiseled. Target group orientation is the key, after which target of the marketing professionals. What is needed is the "professional farmers" who and what ever that. Only two, three, or five acres to have just is not accessible, and who stood only a few hundred and not at least a few thousand euros in the transparency data bank, you just need them here.

The politicians should think about. At least this way, at least about one-third of the local farms, where the policy promises to always fight for them, marginalized and cut off from the future. A significant part of domestic agriculture is undermined it. That farmers, the future criteria match of manufacturers and retailers do not or no information one way or another do not get this invitation is still the lesser problem. More seriously, that fewer and fewer products are developed that meet their needs and they are cut off so that the progress.

But perhaps all this belongs to structural policies, as understood in Austria - the farmers just let it die, then solve the problems. Industry and Trade to make, so to speak, which dares not politics.

is not the first time in agricultural research and experimentation being faced not only a third of the farmers, what it means to be second-class farmers, but equal to the total local agriculture. The public institutions have long been starved financially, the magazine companies have in their hands. They have certainly established their research and experimentation you find in Austria. The farmers still remains no alternative but to conform to what is on offer from there.

And these are often no more than crumbs - only very partially fit for Austrian conditions.

"case as" Advent market at 11.12. Hamburg

That's it so far :-) * puff * All the preparations for our first, organized by us market have been completed * happy and in the round hop *.
A market is a concept from which we read in the last year: a case market. Designers and artists to bring a suitcase full of their best articles, the case is thus the stand.
We have been getting really great shops: Chicken House Filzschmuck, purses, screen printing on fabric, bags, knitwear, jewelry, funny Sock animals, children's clothing, special notebooks and much more :-)

Duns is how it went: We found the idea so great, and could have a booth at a Christmas market, we do not get more. So we have decided spontaneously to organize themselves a market. If we had known before. . . ;-) Nope, it was bad, this is not. First, we have raised a cafe owner, because we are the establishment * oops * beautiful elegant find so great. Directly in the university, with a concrete duck pond, and many students at the windows. He found the original idea, and said to have asked when we Dawanda forum to see if the colleagues who are interested. After seeing the hamburger shops Leave it had been run with a time of very rapid pace. We were awarded within two days the 20 seats (two have now come to yet).
Now just for the flyers Catalog gather together to make flyers and let the booth rental by all participants get together (excitement because two were not errichbar, fast searching new exhibitors, the late wish but ...), paper tablecloths for the stands now, that was s :-).
Well, not quite. We ourselves must still busy sewing and that brooch. Mönsch, this is really bad for the delicate fingers and wing tips. Now we know what we saw earlier Schneider - the pricked fingers. That's right! But other times more like this one.
And now come the flyers, 19, 6 kg! Since each exhibitor who receives, we have asked a good friend to tow. Which sustains the burden on Thursday to the post. Oh yes, still awaits the announcement:

So the invitation you received, so we count on your visit, if I do not call it off :-)

farmers fear the imbalance




Next Thursday is the EU's agricultural commissioner prior to his plans. The farmers have not only bad Cards.

Gmeiner Hans Salzburg (SN). More money for the Eastern European farmers, new weighting of the promotion instrument, lower premiums. An early October in Brussels Launched adverse paper on agricultural reform, the Agricultural Commissioner Dacian Ciolos attributed keeps for weeks in the agrarians breath. You can see mountain farmers and compensation for areas such as the Salzburg Flachgau in danger and is worried about the environmental programs, yet the heart of the domestic agricultural policy. Pure dynamite makes the forthcoming redistribution of funds in Austria.

the fog lights will only come Thursday, when his so-called Ciolos options paper for a new EU agricultural policy from 2014 to present so from the beginning of the next EU budget period, is. It is clear, of course, now that the domestic agriculture in some areas is ill. But it has strengths that could be helpful to say in the future.

first The millstones

The operating variables of the Austrian farmers are very low by international standards, the production costs due to high, the weak position in the markets. The low price level is very difficult for local farmers. On large fields and huge stables can now be produced even cheaper than on small strips of fields, steep slopes and in international comparison tiny stalls.

second Strong dependence

about 1.8 billion euros of federal, state and EU funding per annum in the form of compensation, bonuses and grants directly to the courts. The proportion of such funds at the farmers' income is large in Austria than virtually anywhere else. Accordingly profound is the fear of cutbacks, according to according to the warnings are about to give up that many farmers are - with all the consequences for regional policy, tourism and landscape management.

third Depressed mood

Most farmers are struggling with their economic conditions are uncertain, many no longer know. They feel like victims of the free market. Many rave about the past, the course also usually never felt as she is now certain. There is also a new generation of young farmers, the rise in their profession and see opportunities.

4th Top with know-how

agriculture is in Austria at a very high level. Professional and educational terms makes the farmers hardly anyone anything before. Revenues in the fields and the achievements in the stalls above the EU average, even in favorable areas in the European top. The high level of production is also reflected in the quality. The products are well appreciated internationally. This is a trump card, yet the possibilities.

5th With limited opportunities

created countless new products, direct marketing, organic farming and the construction of the production of bioenergy and renewable resources, the farmers in recent years, new sources of income. For more than hedging of existing conditions was enough though not in most cases. No trees grow in the sky. This also applies to organic farming. Despite good demand and high prices, organic farmers rely on extra-high grants.

6th The possibilities

No disadvantage without benefit: Consumers appreciate that in Austria almost no industrialized Agriculture there. Therein lies potential. Just as in the so-called culinary regions. Image is still a vehicle for politicians, they must be genuine income opportunities for farmers. Unrewarded for the farmers is now Austria's strict anti-genetic engineering course. Although milk is now nationwide - and expensive - GMO-free produce. In a significantly higher farm milk prices, the proposed course is irrelevant. Unused but are also opportunities in traditional manufacturing sectors. In geese, lambs, goats, eggs, there are currently a large dependence on imports.

7th Trust as the basis

Consumer confidence in local products and the good image of the peasants to give agriculture support. We love local bread, local milk, at-home meat. The much-maligned Austrian retail chains have recognized this and maintain it with success. It can be more if it is possible to farmers, processors and trade, to reduce mutual reservations.

8th Great hope

agriculture is one of the most important industries of the future. The farmers in Austria can therefore do little, however. If the prices would increase by a few percent and therefore circumvent fears the same everywhere, they have because of the small farm sizes in sum, only few of them. At the price level is still far away from that with where they could live without subsidies. And that's what makes it so skeptical.
