Born for Korn

With each new generation, the number of family-run farms in Germany halves. Many are swallowed up by large industrialized farms, which now cultivate almost two thirds of the arable land. A centuries-old tradition is in danger of being lost. The Sierck family farm is one of these small farms. Father Jörn is a fifth-generation farmer and dairy farmer on the farm in the northern Geest. His wife Gunda looks after the farm's own dairy and the successfully growing direct sales business. They are consciously looking at how the farm needs to be set up in the future so that it can continue to feed the families who run it in the sixth generation.
