“It’s said that August is the beginning of the winter. August is the beginning of the new farming season. I wish it will be a bit better than the past season, because this year we had to make huge efforts, both economically and in terms of human resources, with zero profits. We worked the whole year without profits. No wheat, nor fodder for the cows. And we can say that neither the regional government, nor the national one have taken strong measures.”
