At the beginning of the colony, dominant in our area exploitation of agriculture.


As a symbol of the flourishing of the agricultural stage, appear in Santo Domingo the first drive combines steam and acquired by settlers committed in development.
Over these threshers appeared excited at the sight of the peasants, the clean grain as a reward for much effort.

Over time, was giving a gradual transformation, as settlers began to experiment with Tambera activity. This occurred, among other things, for the low price of grain was less encouraging risk taking permanent crops.

After some setbacks in agricultural crops the settlers began to industrialize the milk in a small scale and with its own production.

immigrants, particularly those of European origin, were the first to address milk production as an organized business.

From the third decade of the twentieth century, the inn, was the typical economic development district. The producers delivered milk to the creameries of the place:


• AMADO Cremerie Roston, whose functions were launched between 1927 and 1928.
• Cremerie LA SARITA, which became operational in 1928. • Creamer JOSE
WEBER AND CIA., Which began operations in 1931. The creameries
milk and skimming the cream obtained is the fatty substance, and casein is milk protein rich in phosphorus.

With the development of the dairy producer felt the need to free themselves from intermediaries, and industrialists who had low prices for their milk. Thus was born the cooperatives that pooled small and medium producers, simmering social transformation of rural areas through the unity of a large number of dairy farmers.

Among our district cooperatives, which were thresholds of the agreement and will men with ideals of progress, there were:

TAMBEROS
* SANTO DOMINGO AND COOPERATIVE LIMITED SARITA, founded on January 2, 1942.
* SANTO DOMINGO TAMBEROS NORTH COOPERATIVE LIMITED, founded on September 29, 1943
* TAMBEROS THE THIRD COOPERATIVE LIMITED SANTO DOMINGO, founded on April 19, 1946

The cooperative movement generated a great benefit to the activity dairy farmers, and led to a improvement in the dairy-type cattle.

EXTREME SITUATIONS ... CATALINA

increased SALADO Yesterday ... Today ...
drought
Noting the fields, roads, cracked earth so dry, listening ... farmers with complications due to lack of rain ... my mind went back to those days of 2003 in Santa Fe: Santa Fe desolate as a result of growing extraordinary Salado River ...


Yes .. of the river that marks the eastern boundary of the Santo Domingo district, the river that at times becomes a recipient of hundreds of people looking for some freshness near the water, enjoying the peace and nature in hot summers area ... the same river that suddenly becomes the most destructive and threatening bravo ...

A paradox ...

In the terrible catastrophe that was experienced in the city of Santa Fe in 2003, was known through the media, and if anyone wants to know more, search the Internet, within minutes you will have the information you want.

But ... how to live through that time in Santo Domingo and neighboring towns?

I remember that April 27, National Election Day ... the river was swollen, very grown up and still climbing ... It was said that that afternoon the water cut off the only route to the city of Santa Fe, (there are others but and the water had covered before) ...

Children in Santa Fe students, that Sunday was like every weekend at home with parents. The threat

the river, we speed and ask daddy to enable them to get to vote first and take them to careless towards the capital city before the water left us isolated.

The idea was to "protect them" from the isolation in which people would be as advertised, so you do not miss classes. Nobody could imagine that we were sending the worst of places ...

and achieve our objective, they came to Santa Fe ...
Hours later, as expected, all routes were overcome by the force of water.

Two days later we heard that water had entered the city and moved with unexpected speed ... There
called, runs between neighbors, we needed to know ... communications technology helped much ...

Our children-those who were not victims, it suddenly became nurses, cadets, and were moments that were never imagined would happen ...

The Powers to issue stopped attending classes and became home for the homeless, and students in real social workers ...

And we, on the other side ... just waiting ... could get here by boat across several miles. Firefighters met both Prefecture as endless days.


The photos were shown as highways, as people traveled by boat, as milk production moved ...

In the urban part of Santo Domingo was no water, they stretched covering many acres of ...


We could travel hundreds of miles where one could see water around ...



Today ... we go through the same hundreds of miles and is just cracked earth, dry grasses ...

ever will understand that we must stop provoking nature with our destruction??

CATALINA MERKVA ... (Part One)

No flight may souls may sail out of memory ...

Today ... a part of the experience of Catalina Merkva, a resident of Santo Domingo. Immigrants born on July 19, 1919 in Yugoslavia and, since childhood, a resident of this town. A history of agreements and disagreements, frustrations and love, which deserves to be told to understand and learn ...

His family consisted of his parents Stephen and Catherine, and her younger sister Teresa. Catalina is 88 years and describes her life with enthusiasm, as if reliving every moment ... stops at times delving into his memory ...

tells us that it was in 1930 in his home in Yugoslavia, and every morning when I wake up renewed hope receiving the call from his father where they were told to travel to meet him. Kept in mind the memory of your words before you go: "I lived a war, I do not want to happen again ..."

had gone almost three years to Uruguay, with a group of acquaintances, hoping for a peaceful future. News sent periodically, in his letters telling them that the greatest difficulty was the language, and had learned that in a neighboring country, Argentina, the problem is reduced because there were large numbers of immigrants, then would try their luck in this "great land" .
happening in November when they received a letter that would mark his future. Don Esteban already had a steady job in the province of Santa Fe, Cologne Cavour, and had gotten home in a small village called Santo Domingo.
With uncertainty, and with the pain of leaving his homeland, his family, his dreams ... the mother was ready to sell you need to travel expenses, packed kitchen utensils considered important, and her clothing and their daughters. He retained his house, hoping to return someday, and with the forces that inspired her love for her husband, started the game. Catalina
wistfully recalls that when he took leave of his grandfather heard him say that never again would see, she consoled him answer soon return.
Without another thought went to take the medium which would move to Bremen where the boat would rise to Madrid to reach South America. Says that the train was going lazy, slow ... crossed Zagreb, Bonn, Hamburg and Bremen finally reached where European immigrants were concentrated ready to undertake their adventure.

waited several days until all the passengers arrived. Meanwhile, enjoyed the gorgeous landscape that offered the port full of passengers eager future.
sailed from Bremen, housed in Madrid that the shelters during the twenty-seven-day cruise. Catalina compares that boat with a small town. "Because it had everything: cinema, doctors, nurses, cops, nuns, .... "
has to spend much time on the terrace feeding the seagulls and watching the scenery on the horizon, waves, sky, ... until no land in sight of landscapes, but only seawater. That happened almost interminable ten days, accompanied by the infinite intensity of the blue sea.

The crew of Madrid trod ground after many days in a Brazilian city ... They enjoyed for several hours, the walk through the streets filled with flowers.
continued to travel and at dawn on January 10, 1931, the Port of Buenos Aires received Merkva family and other crew members. They descended the steps that took them to the mainland, happy and grateful to have arrived safely at their destination: ARGENTINA.
