To give an impression of horse farming in Germany, here´s a video of Klaus Struber from farm Hollergraben. There is quite some research done there on the farm comparing horse with tractor farming. And the development of new machinery (no-tillage, prep sprayer).
Now farm Hollergraben is raising money through crowd funding to develop two machines for draft animal power. A culti-muclher and an implement for planting union “bulbs”.
When developed, the machines will be shared on http://www.opensourceecology.org
