Loodna parish after the collective farms, 1999

Loodna vald pärast kolhoose, 1999

Loodna was a small farming parish near Märjamaa with fewer than 1,300 people. Under Soviet rule its land had been worked by the Teenuse, Sipa and Lautna collective farms; by 1999 a single co-operative remained. Heidi Tammar drove around the parish: the parish head explains what changed when the kolkhozes fell apart, a former chief agronomist describes buying a farm in 1988 and later the Sipa dairy of 250 cows, and small business owners tell how they got started.

Loodna oli Märjamaa lähedal väike põllumajanduslik vald, kus elas alla 1300 inimese. Nõukogude ajal harisid selle maad Teenuse, Sipa ja Lautna kolhoos, 1999. aastaks oli alles jäänud üks ühistu. Heidi Tammar tegi vallas ringsõidu: vallavanem selgitab, mis muutus kolhooside lagunedes, endine peaagronoom räägib, kuidas ostis 1988. aastal talu ja hiljem 250 lehmaga Sipa farmi, ning väikeettevõtjad jutustavad oma alustamisest.
