Jurian Kosters is our emigration counsellor in Germany for the Bundersländer of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Jurian emigrated from the Netherlands to Surwold in western Germany in 1999. After farming in Surwold for three years, they sold their business to Dutchmen. They themselves then moved further into Germany and bought a dairy farm in Selsingen. They rebuilt the farm largely to Dutch standards. The farm has a 112 cubicle stall barn and two milking robots. They currently milk a quota of 700,000 kg full. Because his parents are still active in the business, Jurian has the opportunity to guide future emigrants in West Germany.
