As a child, she grew up accompanying her father in much of his work as a contractor. Since then, he has loved the countryside and wanted to study business administration, but he realized that his future was not in an office.
“Initially I went to study business administration, but after two years I realized that my thing was in the field; not in an office. I returned to Brandsen, it was just opening a technical degree in agricultural enterprises and I got involved, that was more my thing, a mix between animal and plant management and production with field practices.”
This is how he tells his story Jasmine Carama young woman who today is working fully in the company that began to develop with agricultural services in 1991; He also specialized in beef cattle at the ISEA, the Higher Institute of Agricultural Education, Studies and Extension.
The base of operations, warehouse and office are in Brandsenbut for three years they also have a shed on the family farm. The focus is on sowing and making rolls, but they also do spraying, fertilization, tillage and some soil movement.
Since 2020, Jazmín has been working with her father in administrative and some field tasks. Among her hobbies, she recently started tennis, and is an ambassador for New Holland’s “Women in Campaign” program. We talk about all this, his path and his dreams in this interview.
- – Let’s start chronologically. You were born in Brandsen and in what context did you grow up? What do you remember from childhood? Did you have a connection with the field?
- – My dad was already working in the field, he was a contractor. He had not yet started with Francisco Caram e Hijos, that was in 2001. When I was little, I always accompanied him to the agencies, to the fields, to explore. I was very close to him. And when I had summer and winter vacations I went to the office to help with whatever was needed.
- – When you close your eyes, what do you remember? Smells, colors, flavors…
- – In addition to accompanying him, on weekends we went to the countryside to sleep, we went camping, a little bit of everything. So the best memories. With the family. And when I went with my dad to the agencies I would start making drawings while I waited.
- – The time has come to study. What did you choose? Did you have a plan b?
- – I had two options. One was business administration, which was where I started, at the Catholic University of La Plata, I did two years. And through different talks we had about the future of work, I realized that it was not my thing. So before starting my third year, a University was just setting up shop in Brandsen and I had a degree in Agricultural Entrepreneurship. Which is like a mix between administration, management and both plant and animal production. With field practices. It was a combo that was what I was looking for. And I received it.
- – That is, you noticed that the administration was not going well and you turned the wheel in time…
- – The truth is that I couldn’t imagine myself in an office. Not at all.
- –And how has it been for you with the generational assembly? With your dad mainly…
- – I have two sisters, one is not linked to the field and the other is six years old, so we don’t know. We get along well with dad, we are very compatible. Now he is delegating quite a few things to me…
- – It is a good sign, because it means that he trusts your decisions. And your mother? What has been your role in all this?
- – Important to accompany our upbringing. My dad used to be a tractor driver, he even had to go north. And my mother always accompanying us, taking care of us.
- – How are you doing, as a woman, in rural areas?
- – The truth is, very good. I have seven co-workers, they explain to me, they help me. Just like when I go to buy spare parts at agencies, rubber stores, hardware stores, which is a more masculine environment. And everywhere they treat me very well.
- – What are your tasks today and what do you like the most?
- – When I have to go to the field. That’s the part I like the most. Because I am a lot in administration, payments, banks. But when I have to take someone to the field, accompany the machinery on the route, I also take care of food, or some spare parts, when they have a flat tire. These are things that happen every day, every day is very different and we have to cover gaps.
- – How do you see young people in the countryside?
- – I have several acquaintances who work in the field. I think that today more young people are entering careers or jobs related to the field. The possibility of doing internships is also important, to see if it is what you like or not. You study and see what you are going to do next.
- – How do you see yourself in the future? Let’s say, in about 10 years…
- – My idea is to focus on livestock. It’s something we already talked about with my dad. In the fairly near future I want to start with that. I love it. That’s why I took the beef cattle course.
OUT OF THE FURROW
- – Is there any activity outside of work that resets you?
- – The only thing I do now is tennis. Twice a week. It happens that the field is somewhat complicated with the scheduling issue. We do not have a fixed schedule and complementing the activity with work is difficult for me.
- – Music? What do you like to listen to?
- – I can listen to Abel Pintos, folklore, I love La Sole. And then some of the old ones. From before. Well varied.
- – Do you have any dishes in the kitchen that you love?
- – I’m kind of complicated there. It’s not my thing. I go more for the order. But my dishes are simple. The one who cooks the most is my sister.
- – I don’t know if you like to watch series or movies. Where are you going?
- –More comedy and romantic movies. And something that I am really liking are Turkish series.
- – Any place in the world you would like to visit?
- – I love going to lost towns, in nowhere. I like quiet things better, not big cities.
- – Do you have any header phrases?
- – I always say “don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do today.” Things have to be done.
- – And that is what makes you late for tennis…
- – (laughs)… Of course, it could be.
