He started sowing the warmest lots and today he has almost 8 sown hectares and still has half of the farm to sow Miguel is a hard worker and dedicates 10 to 12 hours a day to his farm. He has two children, the oldest is married and lives out of the farm and the youngest is still at the house but does not help with the farm.
