【Agriculture Blog】Winter Agriculture Part-time Job Tight 4 Points!
Hello, this is CLARD☆
I returned from the Philippines temporarily and am working part-time at a farm near Narita Airport!
Corona is also on its third wave, and finally the mutants are coming from England, and the sign of the end is not visible in one line (* ´Д ｀)
That can make finding a job even more difficult.
There have been news from before that with Corona, a lot of people were unemployed and couldn't find a job, but I'm crazy about it( ｀ー´)ノ
By the way, the agriculture I am engaged in tends to seem to be tight in the image.
In conclusion,
There is a lot of hard work(-ω-)/
It's the same for any job.
In particular, this time I will introduce 4 hard points of winter farming part-time job!

Work Outside in Winter is Cold!
Agricultural work = a lot of outside work
It depends on the location, but basically I go to work around 8 am.
Winter in a rural town surrounded by fields is much colder than in the city!
It was the first time that my car was frozen when I went to work, and I couldn't drive until the windshield was thawed!
In such a shit cold, if the wind blows, the cold will double.
Even though it's not raining, the leaves are frozen。。。
There are Many Heavy Things!
There is about 25 to 30 kg per box
Because there is a lot of work to harvest crops, the carrying comes to the body considerably.
Since I mainly harvest carrots, I pack them in a box and transfer them to a light truck, but I sometimes raise or lower about 25 kg per box many times for about half a day.
Also, since the equipment for spraying pesticides and sowing seeds is packed to the fullest, this is also heavy, so anyway, heavy things are attached(-_-;)
The Burden on the Waist is Dangerous!
Sometimes it is harvested by hand
This posture seems to be difficult to see.
Yes, this is really tough!
Basically, the work is done on a large harvesting machine.
However, it must first be harvested manually to make room for the machine to move.
Since it is necessary to leave a decent range, it will inevitably be about 4 to 5 hours of work, so after this work day I will be seriously sick(-_-;)
It includes the work of removing leaves while sitting, but sitting does not mean that the burden on the lower back is zero, so it is hard work whether you stand or sit down!
Irregular Work Also Happen!
In this regard,
It can be tough for those who "like routine work" .
At this time, it happened that trees were overgrown in the passages of light trucks and work platforms, so logging work was about 50 meters.
I grabbed a chainsaw for the first time, but it's a little heavy, and the grip strength is absorbed more and more (;'∀') After all , Jason is a monster.
This is just an example, but there are many other work processes before sowing seeds in a greenhouse.
I like it because I want to experience various things, but for those who like routine work, this irregular work may be regarded as hard work.
I was working alone for half a day with a chainsaw in one hand!
I have listed the hard work, but I do not get tired, and sometimes I go to a nearby hot spring to heal my body, or eat meat and charge energy, so unexpectedly the body of Ningen recovers completely. So, farm work? You can do it!
Refreshing is pretty important!
However, it may be better because it is still winter, but I do not want to imagine what kind of situation it will be in summer(*´з`)
