“Women are, after all, the pillar of an agricultural household, and above all, women are the pillar of the Serbian village, and without the Serbian village, there is no life.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For “Blic Biznis,” Vera \u0160kuli\u0107 uses these words to speak not just about agriculture. She speaks about a way of life, about work that lasts from five in the morning until late at night, about generations that grew up on the land and from the land, but also about how it is possible to combine TikTok, tractors, and modern agro-entrepreneurship. As one of the most recognizable young women in Serbian agriculture and the first agro-influencer in the Balkans, Vera has managed to do what until recently seemed almost impossible \u2013 to bring the village closer to young people and make it visible on social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her videos from the field and from the family agricultural farm in Star\u010devo today count millions of views, but behind the popularity lies a much more serious story. A story about a girl who, at one point, due to her father’s illness, took over part of the farm, learned to operate machinery, fought against prejudices, and started a community of women who are today changing the face of the Serbian village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-I am very proud of being the voice of the village, because I truly try to change the perception of the village and show that it is beautiful to live in the village \u2013 Vera tells us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family tradition longer than two centuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture in the \u0160kuli\u0107 family is both bread and heritage. Vera says that her family has been involved in crop farming for more than two centuries and that she practically grew up in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Agriculture educated and raised me \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She began working more actively six years ago, when her father fell ill and she had to take over part of the responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-I simply had to take over the job. That\u2019s when I learned a lot from him and over time grew to love that work. I realized what a privilege my ancestors left me and decided to continue the tradition of engaging in agriculture for longer than two centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her farm today is engaged in crop production \u2013 corn, wheat, and sunflowers, while recently they have also been developing beekeeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
