An investment that brings… many things!

In addition to high-quality chicken farming, the Schiefer farm also produces classic crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans and pumpkins on 100 hectares of farmland. They sell most of the crop to the local supplier ‘Lugitsch Farm Feed Food’ or exchange it directly for chicken feed, as they need about 2,500 tonnes of feed for their 700,000 chickens. “We try to give our chickens the best possible quality of life. The well-being and health of the chickens, which is directly reflected in the quality of the meat, is ensured by light, low animal density and free movement and, of course, a well-chosen diet,” points out Silvester, who is already following in his father’s footsteps and continuing the family tradition. Most of the work on the Schiefer farm is done by the family, but they hire additional workers in case of increased workload.

The Schiefer family has a long history of trusting Farmtech. They have been successfully using the ZDK 1800 two-axle trailer in their vehicle fleet for almost 20 years and they are extremely satisfied with it. Therefore, when buying a new spreader, it was easier to choose a machine of the same brand. “The quality of the Farmtech machines is exceptional,” stressed Karl. “We were also convinced by the favorable price-quality ratio compared to the competition,” added his son Silvester. The new Megafex 1800 spreader has also proved its worth after just a few runs. “We are impressed with its performance, spread pattern and user-friendliness,” says Karl, who is confident that the investment will pay off. He knows the secret: If you want to reap, you must sow!
