Yeah. We're eight weeks cut today. So a couple of weeks overdue. Weather's been really poor. Ground suffering a bit, but managing ok so far. Some dirt on the road this morning with the dew, but we think that'll lessen, as it's improving already.

It's heavier than I like, first field looks like 7.5 t/acre, so a good three days lifting for us unfortunately. The forecast for this evening is unnerving.

How come last time

Bit of a change in career

Had enough of contracting ?

A really good job opportunity, quite a few customers retiring or changing their operations with unlikely replacements, family life and cost of replacing machinery have made me really take stock. Absolutely love most of what I do and it has supported my family, but times are changing and I don’t want find myself in the trap of running really fast to stand still.
