Despite the surrounding area being developed with apartment blocks, Myslowski continues to farm his land, using a combine harvester and other agricultural machinery.

The footage of him harvesting his field amidst the high-rise buildings went viral online, with many praising his efforts to preserve green space in an urban setting.

Myslowski has stated that the local community is supportive of his work, and he has received positive feedback from residents who appreciate the greenery and agricultural activity. Some residents even consider the crops a better sight than the concrete structures around them.
