"the Summer of extremhetta got many Swedish farmers to their knees."

"When Marie and Gustav Mandelmann ran out of feed, they were forced to nödslakta all of their lambs, calves, sheep and several cows – including tittarfavoriten Snönos."

"Climate change is here now and it feels so heavy and you feel so powerless and sad," says Marie Mandelmann."

"The new season of ”Mandelmanns farm” was recorded in the last year – with one of the hottest summers in a long time."

"the Drought put to hearty problems on Swedish farms and Mandelmanns Djupadal was no exception."

"– What stands out in this season that will now is the heat. Damn hot it has been. It hit us very hard. It will viewers get to follow also, " said Marie Mandelmann."

"– the Groundwater just fell, thus up on almost all of the farm except where we live and have vegetable gardens and ponds. It is superläskigt when everything just stays in the plant. It just tvärdör, it was so burnt. Not even a camel had found something to gnaw on, " says Gustav Mandelmann."

"Slaughtered all the sheep, lambs and calves."

"But the most evident consequences was the summer's extreme weather first ahead of winter."

" We have received nödslakta. We have removed almost all the animals, I don't know if I should say it already now, " says Marie."

"because of The feed shortage forced the pair Mandelmann take the tough decision to cull all of their lambs, sheep and fjolårskalvar and several of his cows. "

"It's about 80 ewes, over 100 lambs, and a number of calves and cows – including the tittarfavoriten Snönos, which stopped producing milk. "

"– We went with that decision for a long time. Slowly got it to grow into us when we realized that we did not enter any other harvest, then no third. It grew not, " says Marie."

"– It was supermassive. We're talking about a fårbesättning we built up from scratch. Every single may have grown up on the farm. We have fed the whole gang with the bottle. And we had some great lamb of god who was born in the spring. Thus, it is skitsorgligt. But at the same time, we must consider the whole picture, " says Gustav."

"Because it is easier to build up a new fårbestånd than the cows they were forced to opt out of the sheep – who left behind an emptiness in Djupadal."

" It was a hard blow. It is clear, it feels empty and sad. And so this klimatångesten you feel in the middle of all of it also, when it gets like this, " says Marie."

"”Climate change is here now”"

"It was when vinterfodret came to an end as the pair was forced to the drastic emergency slaughter."

"– We did the summer through narrowly thanks to a variety of bait. But then came the never started to grow in the crazy hot summer which turned to fall which was also dry, " says Gustav."

"the Neighbors had the same problem and all stuffs in Poland and the Czech republic was also the end of the year. The only option was to import from Canada – something that was not on the map."

"Climate change is here now and it feels so heavy and you feel so powerless and sad," says Marie."

"– It becomes obvious when we had two years, one with rain and the other with the drought, the extreme weather conditions. And it makes me so terribly afraid and sad. This extreme weather, it is scary."
