我是宜蘭市的農夫洪萬來,自5歲開始耕種田地,熟練操作農業機械,現半退休。吃苦瓜不再感受苦味,回憶餓肚子時的地瓜美味。雖教育不高,初中學歷,堅持工作不缺糧即可,避免過度曝曬。去年曬太陽導致高血壓,藉著普拿疼和合力他命緩解,今年稍有改善。中暑時,感到暈眩便迅速回家。每天清晨4、5點開始工作,避免日曬,傍晚再進行農務。宜蘭縣大部分的農友都熟悉,老農友的耕種比較精緻,年輕農友的話就沒辦法,就除草那方面就沒辦法用。有時候做一做做幾天辛苦就不來了,年事漸長,每年能繼續耕作就心滿意足。

田地種有筊白筍、芋頭和剛割下的稻子。強調不噴農藥,避免對健康的影響。堅信專業技能磨練,工作更得心應手。

I'm farmer Hong Wan-lai from Yilan City. I've farmed since age 5, now semi-retired. Despite minimal education, I prioritize sustenance over overwork, avoiding excessive sun. Last year, sun exposure caused high blood pressure; managing with medication and vitamins. I start work early to evade the sun, resuming tasks in the evening. Older farmers handle cultivation delicately; younger ones struggle, especially with weeding. Fulfillment comes from yearly farming. I grow bamboo shoots, taro, and rice without pesticides, believing in honing skills for better work.
