As I admire the beautiful landscape of Valkenswaard, I catch rare glimpses of "XXX Corps" caterpillar tractors in the southern fields, as they clatter peacefully back and forth, diligently spraying the fields with liquid manure.
They behave almost oblivious to us poor german farmers situated in the small village to their north. We germans have very few tractors of our own and must manually punch holes into the soil to sow our crops. Fortunately, we developed a crude device to do this. Pointing the barrel into the ground, pulling the trigger and several fartish Brrrrrrps!!! later, Ludwig has planted three acres of cabbages.
Some among us have speculated this farm implement could be used as a weapon to wreak great violence upon our British neighbors but calmer heads have prevailed.
In celebration of bountiful harvests we launch fireworks into the night sky, sometimes catching startled Tommies as they attempt to steal watermelons from our gardens. No worries, a few buckshot suffice to send them scurrying back into the gloom.
Usually though, our nightly vigils pass uninterrupted with nothing more troublesome than the muted rumble of distant thunder and the glowing face of our radium watch dials, steadily ticking away another blissfully serene night. It's the same story night after night, day after day
As long as they dont bother us, we dont bother them.
In brief,"Vegetable Stand at Arnhem" is the best farm simulator on the market. Never before has watching plants grow been portrayed with such excruciatingly realistic fidelity. One can only hope the next in the series will feature more of the same prettying up and dumbing down which has kept aspiring farmers worldwide, fat, dumb and happy.
