Sv: På gårdsplanen stod Elin tillsammans med Lars, hennes äldre bror.

Sv: Elins vän, Ingrid, skulle också komma på besök senare på dagen.
En: Elin's friend, Ingrid, would also be visiting later in the day.

Sv: "Vi måste börja vårbruket innan regnet kommer," konstaterade Elin medan hon knöt sin scarf hårdare runt håret för att skydda det från jordens damm.
En: "We need to start the spring planting before the rain comes," noted Elin as she tied her scarf tighter around her hair to protect it from the soil's dust.

Sv: "Vi borde använda traktorn och några kemikalier," föreslog Lars.
En: "We should use the tractor and some chemicals," suggested Lars.

Sv: "Det går snabbare."
En: "It's faster."

Sv: Elin skakade på huvudet.
En: Elin shook her head.

Sv: De smakade precis rätt på en vårdag som denna.
En: They tasted just right on a spring day like this.

Sv: "Vi kan göra lite av varje," föreslog Ingrid efter att ha lyssnat på syskonens diskussion.
En: "We can do a bit of everything," suggested Ingrid after listening to the siblings' discussion.

Sv: "Vi kombinerar conventionellt med nytt."
En: "We combine conventional with new."

Sv: Elin tänkte efter.
En: Elin thought it over.

Sv: "Kanske kan vi använda täckväxter för att berika jorden," sa hon till Lars.
En: "Maybe we can use cover crops to enrich the soil," she said to Lars.

Sv: Lars funderade, men svarade sedan, "Det låter som en bra kompromiss.
En: Lars pondered, then replied, "That sounds like a good compromise.

Sv: Det är värt ett försök."
En: It's worth a try."

Sv: I det öppna fältet arbetade de sida vid sida.
En: In the open field, they worked side by side.

Sv: Lars och Elin använde den gamla hästen för att ploga vissa delar, medan andra delar fick täckväxter.
