M- Hello Jack Smith, the aim of this interview is to know what your work is like now and before.

My name is Maria and I’m doing this interview because I’m doing a project which consists of this. This kind of job are dying out, so I want to know the consecuences of this in your life and of course, on the work you are doing nowadays.

To begin, tell me something about which type of animals you work with?

J- Hi! First of all, thanks for doing this interview. Now, I’m working with cows.

M- Ok. And, why did you decide to be a farmer? I understand that it’s because your father worked as this too, didn’t he?

J- Oh yes... Ny father and my grandfather started working on a little farm and now I have this farm and a lot of farmlands.

M- It’s good! I suppose that you are proud, aren’t you? And do you remember what this work was like when you were younger?

J- I’m still young! Haha.

M- Yeah, sorry. I know, haha.

J- Mmm... this job changes a lot: before, when my father was alive, we had more work than now because the vilages around this, bought all of our cows: the milk and meat.

M- Ok, and now?

J- Uf... Now it’s so difficult to continue because the big meat industries has the control of the trade. I can’t understand this because my milk and meat has a high quality.

M- Oh... I understand. The big industries always dominate the small ones, don’t they?

J- I’m sorry to say that’s true.

M- Ok. So, that’s all. Thanks for your time. I think that I understand what your work was like before and what it’s like now.

Farmers are losing customers because of big industries, alhough the milk is better.

J- Yes, I can’t say it better. Thaks and nice to meet you!

M-The same to you. And thanks again. I hope that your job will be able to improve.

J- I hope so!
