RE: Looking back and looking forward, Part 2b: Farming in Japan, The Good Stuff

in #farming7 years ago

Yeah definitely: the farmer's father was probably about 5 foot tall, if that, his son about six inches taller and the full-time member of staff about another inch taller again. Working somewhere traditional like a farm can make that complicated: most things -- hoophouses, farm tools, car seats etc. -- are still made for the people the size of the older generation. I guess the younger generation don't think about it too much but as a foreigner you can feel cramped all the time. That's one more reason why it's so nice to be outdoors in the open air so much.
