Farmer Life in Sweden in the past

The farmers life

The farmers wanted to have as many animals as possible. But eventually it became too numerous and the winter feed was not enough. Then the animals got small and some starved. Almost all the animals were outside all the time. If the farmer had problems, he asked the neighbour. Sometimes wolves came and attacked the farmers animals. Farmers cooperated at times with each other.

They could be visited by soldiers who demanded food and shelter, day or night. As you understand the farmers lost very much because of this.

Sometimes farmers were called into the war and the rest of the family had to work very hard.

Bondelivet

Bönderna ville ha så många djur som möjligt. Men ibland blev det för många och vinterfodret räckte inte till. Då blev djuren smala och några svalt. Nästan alla djuren var ute hela tiden. Om bönderna hade problem pratade dom med sina grannar. Ibland kom vargar och attackerade böndernas djur. Bönderna samarbetade med varandra ibland.

De kunde bli besökta av soldater som krävde mat och husrum på dagen eller natten. Bönderna förlorade mycket på grund av detta.

Ibland kallades bönderna in i armén och resten av familjen fick jobba väldigt hårt.
