Chris had to sweep his street before the visitors came. Not only the family and a journalist, but also deputy mayor Mark Turksma. After consuming a cake and having some discussions, he let himself catch up on agricultural matters in the stable. The farm with over 300 cows and 220 young stock is run by Chris’ son Johan and grandson Stan. The three generations also all live in the yard of the farm, where the view over the countryside is wonderful.
