Left us a good man.

THE AGRICULTURAL TECHNICIAN JUAN FELIX CABRERA LEAVES ORPHAN A YOUNG GENERATION THAT HE SUPERVISED UNDERTAKEN WITH LOVE AND CARE.

Juan Félix Cabrera Gil loss has meant a hard blow to the agricultural sector, not only by the loss of an excellent professional, but for a special person.Those who knew him and had the opportunity to work with him agree to highlight your professional category, as well as his intuition, talent and insight; committed to the farmers who spent much of his working life, sometimes, seemed more a persistent teacher to dignify the activity and professionalize it.

Affable and folksy character as the field defending, Juan Felix was struggling daily to introduce technical improvements that would facilitate and increase yields and profits; one of their mottos: “No farmers, no food”.

In contrast to other professionals, Juan Felix was delivered with passion to their work, lived it, He answered questions to any fellow student or professional from the vantage point of his experience and did not hesitate to recognize with humility if it could not help.

He demonstrated his Communicator on the television program “The agricultural village”, Award-winning the awards agricultural and fisheries, where he met and cultivated the tool to transmit their knowledge and enthusiasm to dignify the profession of farmer.

His word was in the experience and practice, not in theory and academic formulations and was exemplary in the commitment to always give the best of itself.

Pioneer in the introduction of new technologies applied to export tomato cultivation: hydroponics cultivation, automated irrigation, grafts, staking, pick up Dutch and integrated, It felt great respect for farmers older than those who acknowledged having learned and qualify that as “These are my people”.

In the twenty years worked in the cooperative COAGRISAN, Juan Felix helped forge the twigs of a young generation of agricultural technicians whose prestige, today, is recognized at the international level.

Contributed their knowledge and experience to consolidate the other generation, of professional farmers, day by day, They show with their work that the activity of the tomato crop has absolutely nothing that view with which he practiced a few decades ago the preceding generations.

Juan Felix participated actively in the implementation of the regulations of risk prevention and quality in work as well as in the regulation of the quality of production and product standards (AENOR).

But if something highlighted by Juan Felix was in his human quality. Despite their long hours, I always had a place to listen to a friend, to defend the activity or to collaborate and participate in any Colloquium, chat or meeting are invited to.

Those who knew him more knew of that barrier his reserved, not suitable more for it, that took refuge to lick their wounds, those that gives life to rough small and let run until they bleed real. Difficult, not impossible, reach him at those moments.

Death is always unexpected, but this time, the suddenness and the circumstances, us shocked and shaken all. Juan Felix has left us with 54 years taking their impassable “barrier” and leaving orphans, not only the generation of young technical people that he supervised undertaken and transmitted their knowledge, but all those that we were lucky to share experiences.

When things did not come out for the reason that it was, Juan Félix used to say: “any time they mean us dogs”. And is this time, John, dogs mearon us and not we learned.

Friend John Felix, those who stayed here hope that you have found the peace that you ansiabas and you both tormented and that up there, wherever you are, You can cultivate your passion and put into practice what you liked.
That you rest in peace.
