Nadat hy die laaste episode van die werklikheidsreeks Boer soek \u2019n Vrou<\/i> gekyk het, het \u2019n vriend van my \u2013 self \u2019n boer \u2013 iets te s\u00ea gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In sy oorwo\u00eb mening moet die boere wat deelneem na net een kwaliteit by die dames kyk: Iemand met plat knie\u00eb wat weet van bid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom is mooiwees en oulikwees goed; die moets en moenies \u2019n bysaak. Maar een vraag is die belangrikste: Kan sy bid? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer die boere hul briewe ontvang, laat dit hulle miskien vir \u2019n vlietende oomblik dink aan koeitjies wat oor die maan spring, blink sterre in die o\u00eb en gediggies wat rym met liefie en diefie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tog, wanneer die harde werklikheid op \u2019n plaas toeslaan, is die koei in die kraal en hoort \u2019n dief agter tralies. Hy s\u00ea dit tong in die kies, natuurlik, maar my vriend raak \u2019n groot waarheid aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Groot wanopvatting heers oor boerdery, veral onder mense wat niks van die bedryf weet nie. Dit is dalk waarom die landboubedryf so vatbaar is vir politieke opportunisme. Mense reken as jy grond het, is dit maklik om geld te maak. Tog weet ons dit is nie so eenvoudig nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Moderne boer wat suksesvol wil wees, moet daagliks verskillende mantels aantrek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy of sy moet die rol van ekonoom, weervoorspeller, wetenskaplike, werktuigkundige, leier, vredemaker, dominee, prokureur, veearts, landboukundige, onderhandelaar, mensekenner, kundige op sy gebied, werkgewer, versorger, rekenmeester, innoveerder en entrepreneur \u2013 om maar net \u2019n paar op te noem \u2013 vertolk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om \u2019n boer te wees is in die bloed; \u2019n roeping wat onwrikbare geloof vereis. \u2019n Vertroue dat alles sal uitwerk. Ondanks uitdagings soos droogtes, springkaanplae, veediefstal of die bankbestuurder wat sy kop skud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om \u2019n boer te wees verg somme maak as die mielieprys in \u2019n goeie oesjaar val en as die middelman en kleinhandelaars al hoe minder vir produkte wil betaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boere is spesiale mense. Hulle loop voor en stel \u2019n voorbeeld. Hulle maak planne. Hulle ken van aanhou en uithou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dankie aan al die boere. Mag die jaar vir julle minder intens en traumaties wees as vorige jare. Mag julle sukses behaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En mag iemand met plat knie\u00eb langs julle bid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
