Die provinsie se top\u00adlandbouwerkers is onlangs vereer, met verskeie plaaslikes wat geskitter het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel die topprys uiteindelik aan Nigel Klaasen, \u2019n junior produksiebestuurder op die plaas Fruitways Glen Elgin in Elgin, gegaan het, was Emile Asplein (Bergrivier) en Gerrit Boois (Piket-Bo-Berg) onder die finaliste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die toekennings is deur dr. Ivan Meyer, Wes-Kaapse minister van landbou, by Grand West in Kaapstad aangebied. Die Prestige Agri-toekenningskompetisie word jaarliks gehou om uitblinkers van die sektor te vier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Prestige Agri-toekenningskompetisie wys nie net die uitstekende werk wat in die landbousektor in hierdie provinsie gedoen is nie. Die gee ook erkenning, vier en inspireer trots in die arbeidsmag en moedig hulle aan om nuwe vaardighede aan te leer. Agri-werkers speel \u2019n belangrike rol in die Wes-Kaapse ekonomie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHul energie, kennis en kundigheid dra by tot voedsel- en voedingsekerheid, bring buitelandse valuta na die land deur uitvoere en voorsien vir hul gesinne. Ons vier uitnemendheid, ambisie, selfvertroue, dryfkrag en die mededingende gees van ons landbouwerkers,\u201d het Meyer by die geleentheid ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanjaar het 994 werkers van 15 streke in 11 kategorie\u00eb meegeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gerrit Boois (51) wat Piket-Bo-Berg se agriwerker van die jaar was, s\u00ea dit is wonderlik om erkenning vir sy werk te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKyk, ek is nie een vir fame<\/i> of sulke goeters nie, maar dit voel goed. Mense moenie na toekennings kyk en dink hulle is beter as andere nie. Ek hoop liewer my toekenning spoor ander werkers aan om dieselfde te bereik,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boois werk reeds 25 jaar op Heldervue Estates waar hy deesdae junior produksiebestuurder is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n baie interessante werk. Dinge is altyd aan die verander en tegnologie speel \u2019n groot rol in ons werk. Waar ons eens die vrugte met sk\u00eare geoes het, het ons nou battery-aangedrewe sk\u00eare en in plaas van die traplere wat ons gebruik het, is daar nou platforms. Dit alles help om produktiwiteit met 30% te vermeerder,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boois meen die grootste uitdaging, maar ook die lekkerste deel van sy loopbaan, is om met mense te werk. Nuwe tale word aangeleer wanneer nuwe seisoenwerkers na die plaas kom, mense regverdig, tog soos individue, behandel word en daar is altyd iets nuuts om te leer. Hy s\u00ea wat sy werk n\u00f3g beter maak, is dat sy vrou en twee van sy broers ook op Heldervue werk, en nog \u2019n broer op die plaas langsaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBoerdery en landbouwerk vloei deur ons are,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boois s\u00ea hy het nog 14 jaar van werk oor en hoop om eendag sy eie lappie grond te h\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mede-agriwerker Asplein is by Uitkyk van JD Kirsten Edms. Bpk. werksaam. Hy het onlangs met Paarl Post<\/i> (susterskoerant van Weslander)<\/i> gesels oor sy prestasie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs tegniese operateur van Uitkyk is ek verantwoordelik vir die kalibreer van bemestingstowwe, die gebruik van plaagdoders, sowel as vir die trekkers en die gebruik daarvan,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asplein spog ook met vele ander toekennings. Hy is van 2004 tot 2009 vyf keer as \u2019n wenner by die Prestige-landbouwerker-prysuitdeling in die Worcester-distrik aangewys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie landbouwerkers\u00adkompetisie spoor my aan om my kennis te verbreed en open baie deure,\u201d meen hy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
