In spite of the fact that there were ten brothers and sisters, they were not enough to do all the jobs of the farmhouse, as everything had to be done by hand. The livestock were the most demanding, to milk them, to feed them, etc. Nowadays everything is done by hand. In the old days there were all kinds of crops: wheat, corn, potato, beans, and turnips. Nowadays it is all grass fodder for the livestock. Before, they used to cut the hay with a scythe and turning it over it dried in the sun. Nowadays the machine collects the hay and covers it with a plastic. The manure was taken out in carts and was spread with a rake. In the old days everything was cultivated so as to be auto-sufficient. Now a few workers can do more than what was done by many in the old days.
