Farmers' Day starts even before sunrise. In order to have time to milk and feed the livestock, feed the birds, clean the yard, they need to wake up quite early. In addition, farmers do not have days off because animals and birds require daily care.
Instructions
Step 1
Farmer's Day from spring to late autumn is scheduled by the minute. He needs to do everything - to put things in order in the chicken coop, cowshed, calf barn, pigsty, water the garden. Therefore, you have to get up very early. In addition, from May to October, the cows are driven out to pasture. The shepherd picks them up at 5-6 o'clock in the morning. And by this time the farmer should already be on his feet.
Step 2
In the spring, new concerns are added to caring for animals - plowing and sowing a vegetable garden. First you need to dig up the earth that has caked under a thick layer of snow, then add fertilizer. They are different for different varieties of fruit trees, bushes, types of vegetable crops. It is very important to correctly calculate the amount of fertilizer. Their excess will destroy the tender shoots that the farmer will plant.
Step 3
After plowing and sowing the garden, the time for its cultivation begins. It is necessary to pull out weeds, water the beds in time, carry out activities aimed at destroying pests. Fruit trees and bushes require thinning; after winter, dried branches may appear that need to be removed.
Step 4
In the summer, one more task is added to all the work of the farmer - harvesting. The first strawberries, currants, early apples - all this requires processing. If the farm does not work for sale, fruits and berries have to be frozen, jam made from them, juices and jams made from them. All this takes quite a lot of time.
Step 5
Closer to autumn, when vegetables ripen, their canning, salting, pickling begins. At the same time, the time comes to prepare the garden for winter - raspberry bushes are trimmed, the beds are cleared of weeds, fertilizer is applied if necessary.
Step 6
Late autumn is the time for slaughtering livestock and poultry. The meat is cleaned, chopped, graded and frozen or sold. In winter, farmers are relatively free - no need to take care of the garden, no cows, no pigs. But already at the end of February, young hens, calves and piglets are bought, which will have to be raised over the next year. And all the worries come back again.
