Five years later

Josian: “Our father and uncle are already old. So they want to change the company in a timely manner. At first I like to work out the door a few days a week. I think in five years I will be fully home.

Paul: “I work from home and try to do as many tasks as possible so they can take it easy.”

Both: “Then we can do more in precision farming. We already use work cards. In five years, there will be a lot more improvements.

In five years, Paul and Josian are expected to work fully at the company.
