A farm worker posted a surprising video in April of his Afrikaner bosses having a braai right in the middle of harvest time in the North West.

Content creator @veloster.projects, who regularly posts farming content showing agricultural machinery in action, recorded something unusual when he arrived at work. The video reveals his Afrikaner bosses, who own the farm, hosting an impromptu braai.

The footage shows several bakkies parked nearby as a group gathers around a fire, preparing food and enjoying themselves even as harvesting machinery operates in the fields behind them. People noted that his Afrikaner bosses truly know how to have fun while working.

Farm life reality

This moment sheds light on a broader reality that working as a farmer involves a demanding lifestyle with various responsibilities depending on specialisation. Most farmers operate their farms, run family businesses, or lease land. Their duties include planting and harvesting crops, caring for livestock, operating heavy machinery, and managing workers.

Farm owners begin their day before dawn, performing essential checks and maintenance before organising the day's activities. They often work independently on smaller operations or manage teams on larger farms, overseeing fields, buildings, and delivery logistics.

The farming lifestyle offers several benefits, including outdoor work, physical activity, and independence. Many farmers report high job satisfaction from producing essential food and managing their schedules. Specialisations can range from organic farming and livestock raising to vineyard management and commercial crop production.
