Landwirtschaft: Sieben Jahre Arbeit, kein einziges Gehalt - "Mein Job ist ein teures Hobby"
Schweinepest in Spanien, Lieferstopp nach China, ein Kilopreis von nur 1,45 Euro – immer mehr Schweinehalter geben auf. Annika Thier will den Hof ihres Vaters trotzdem übernehmen. Warum?
Annika Thier, a 28-year-old woman from Rosenberg, Baden-Württemberg, spends seven years working on her father's farm without receiving any pay. The Hof, as the farm is called, houses 3800 pigs and spans over 120 hectares. Thier has not taken a single day off during this time. She works in two shifts: the first in the Landesanstalt für Schweinezucht, a state institution for pig breeding in Boxberg, and the other on the farm itself.
While the farm could not financially sustain her livelihood, Thier is determined to take it over. She is puzzled by the motivation behind her actions.
