In my grandmother's village, barns were smaller than on Chalberweidli, so instead of cranes and silos and insane stuff like that 🤭 they had the same type of hayblowers, some mobile, most fixed. For the little boy I was, feeding these monsters was as terrifying as exciting 😂.
Great video. As a swiss, i find that the landscaping and the ability to at least partially feed ourselves without import that farmer provide us is worth the public money they get. But as I never owned a farm, i don't have an opinion on direct payments as a mean to do it.
The "landscape" aspect is something that as a Swiss, you are not really aware of, until you go abroad and see how the "wild" really looks like. You look at mountains, hills, etc. abroad it is beautiful but somehow doesn't look as "neat". Took me a while to realize that Swiss "wilderness" isn't all that "wild" but pretty cared for.
Many countries have state intervention in farming, by way of regulations, subsidies and inspections, as a necessity, as here. You made the comparison with the great plains style farming - very profitable and capable of standing on its own without government payments. Not sure there is any incentive to safeguard natural resources in the US though.
What about regenerative rotational agriculture a la Salatin/Savory? With birds serving as scratchers and eating the worms left in the cows manure on the fields

The hay blower.
On my travels, I've seen these things outside buildings all over Switzerland and didn't know what they were until now.
Very interesting viewing this from New Zealand.

Thanks for showing how this works.

Appreciate your videos! From Norway.
Thank you . . Very interesting 👍👍
What made you decide to get into farming in Switzerland instead of taking an office job?
Office jobs are the best, having nice coffee with the females

The government’s should keep their noses out of every bodies business
it’s our tax payers money farms are not profitable so the public has a say.
That's what people say till something goes wrong, then, they put their hand out and ask for help.
Lots of kinds of farming are not possible on the open market. Farming lifestyle is incredibly beneficial to society and economy overall.
