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.
