Hello everyone. I am a small farmer from Romania and I work with my brother and father. We grow wheat, rapeseed, corn and sunflower mostly. Here are some pictures and videos from my youtube channel:

Is it hard to get workers when so many of your countrymen are abroad?
I flew over Romania a few weeks back, it looked very white and very beautiful.

@Hesstondriver we work about 200 Ha.
@Kidds I live in a village and unfortunatelly yes, it's hard to get workers and many go abroad to work or do other stuff. But we work on our machinery, only in the summer we get a tractor driver to help us carry our cereals (we store them). Sometimes we need workers for doing physical labour and it's really hard to get them even though we pay them pretty well.
@case44 It's a beautifull country, pretty "virgin" i would say compared to other.

Went to Timisoara about 10yrs ago, really enjoyed it
@Hesstondriver Actually yes. Here big is more than 400ha. Also, most of my land is rented.
@Flat 10 nice, I'm trying to get modern equipment because I work with them and I want some comfort.
@Wombat I am glad to hear that and I recommend you to visit other places as well.

Thanks, town was very nice and visited a massive farm not too far from the town maybe 30mins north
Back in the day we didn't had any modern tractors. Those tractors were built in communist Romania in an effort to help to country become an agricultural power.
Even now, at this time U650 tractor is requested in countries with very hot climate like Egypt. I still have the u445 (from this tractor started everything for us) and the u650 and I still use them sometimes.

I'd happily have that on my little farm now (I think.......)
Thanks for sharing your photos and videos, it's always good to see how farmers work in other countries

Any videos on livestock farming?Hi there and Happy New Year! I've made a video montage with my 2020 agricultural campaign. I didn't shot all the work (because I worked myself) but I hope you'll like it! Enjoy!
