ANTROMA OY front page Information about us Contracting Picture gallery Contact information INFORMATION ABOUT US Antti Mäkinen moved to the farm with his parents and brother in 1988. He was involved in the work of the farm from the beginning, as a little boy moving the tractor in the field and later doing field work independently. In the summer of 2005, he bought half of the space and continued to operate as a group for about 5.5 years. The final generational change was made in February 2011. The company was registered as a limited liability company in October 2015, when Anna Widnäs also became the owner. Anna had already started working on the farm in August 2011. The farm has its own field of about 330 ha and rented field of about 270 ha. Own fields are located within a 10 km radius of the farm center. The farthest from the rental fields is about 40 km away. Silage is made for two or three crops during the growing season, which is enough for the farm animals. Barley, oats, autumn and spring wheat are also grown, and some grain is also bought. The animals live in five different barn buildings. Dairy bulls and heifers in three cold farms and suckler cows, heifers and breeding bulls in two cold farms. Beef-bred bulls for slaughter are also in the cold yard. The bull calves to be acquired on the farm are about 6 months old when they arrive, they are bred for a year and then sold for slaughter. The suckling season for suckler cows begins in late March. In early June, mothers with calves and breeding bulls enter the pastures. Most of the mothers are transported about 10 km to the seaside pastures. Parents and newborn mothers graze in the fields connected to the farm center. Simmental and Charolais bulls have long been used as breeding bulls. For several years, the farm has also had one Aberdeen Angus bull. The mothers are crossbred mothers - you could say that many are already of the Simmental or Charolais breeds. Anna and Antti do the daily barn work mainly in pairs. Timi is also involved in the daily summer grazing tours. Antti handles field work and contracting with the help of hired workers.
