iSQAPER Case story Lemesle family

Summary:
In 1959 when the Lemesle couple bought their actual farm it was in bad condition, the roof leaked and the land was poor. It used to be a wood which was cut down and now merely showed the roots of the trees. They removed the roots and added organic matter to the soil to improve the structure. Grandma rebuilt the complete roof of the house. Together with grandpa she shared the farm responsibilities, equality and solidarity is their motto which was not normal in those days but appeared to be successful nowadays.
