Wisi Zgraggen had been married for two years and was the father of a boy when, at 25, he toyed with the idea of taking over his father Alois' farm in Erstfeld in the canton of Uri. A short time later, a serious work accident thwarted the plan: Wisi got caught in the round baler while harvesting hay and lost both arms. Still on the scene of the accident, he assured his father that he wanted to continue farming. Thanks to an iron will and a positive outlook on life, he managed to do the unbelievable. Today he is what he always wanted to be: a successful farmer. In "Farmer's Life - The Incredible Story of Wisi Zgraggen," the father of four children from Uri not only tells how he overcame his accident and learned to cope with everyday life without arms or hands, but also gives author Barbara Lukesch an insight into the laws of agriculture and the profession of farming.
