Clearing of the Field

The Field was, as I have mentioned before, a lake that became wetland and a grassing area when a farmer dug ditches to allow the water to flow into a nearby lake, Svångemåla Lake.

 

When we bought our house in 1978, cows were keeping the field free of bushes but as soon as they stopped coming, trees and bushes were quickly back and sadly the field was not what it used to be. I was therefore very happy when I early one morning heard a big machine cutting down bushes and smaller trees to make way for a new fence.

 

Hopefully the field will once again be full of grassing animals. It is really impressive to see how easily one man can sit in the comfort of his cabin and cut down both small trees and big bushes using only his fingers and what looks like a joy-stick.

 

 

 


As soon as the harvester had done its job, it was time for a collector to come and gather everything into a big pile where it will stay until it is made into bio-fuel.
