Hannes Kuhnwald is known on social media as "Farmer in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" and is one of Germany's most prominent agricultural influencers. In conversation with Ralf Schuler, he discusses poor harvests, rising costs, high-tech in the fields, organic farming, bureaucracy, and the question of how much Germans actually understand about agriculture anymore.
Kuhnwald explains why modern combine harvesters have long been equipped with cameras, GPS, and automated controls, why maximum yield isn't the deciding factor, and why he's critical of current agricultural policy. The conversation also touches on competition from large investors, rising energy prices, and the disappearance of small farms.
And then things get personal: Kuhnwald loves his profession—but wouldn't recommend it to his own children. His clear verdict: "Would I want that for my son? Absolutely not!"
