Whilst on holiday you do what any other normal farmer does right and goes to check out the locals on with harvest?

Where have you been on holiday? Cornwall?

Had a post office note to say undelivered item as it was underpaid by £1.50 and we’re to contact sorting office . Same day, 16th, so assume it was this. Not going to bother to contact PO, they can return it to sender.

Silly buggers haven't written return address on envelope, if they had then we would have known it wasn't important and let them send it back

There was loads of wild pigs in the cane in Queensland. Evenings consisted of pig patrol with a rifle.

Should have got one with a sunroof

We went to Iceland last week. Went dairy farm hunting and found one that made ice cream. All units looked small, 50 to 60 cows and one robot milking. All round or square bale silage and each farm had all their own machinery for the job. Milk, cheese and meat is bloody expensive over there but then you cant grow much on a volcanoe.

We had a post office note on the 16th too, I've got huge confidence in their advice when they can't even get the postage correct !

Ive had the same, do you think we should all invoice the sender for the £1.50.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they're not allowed to use foreign genetics in Iceland. They can only use the local breed, which is similar to an Ayrshire.

 

[Manney]

I think you are probably correct. They are very strick about not letting animals into the country.

That’s correct, we had an Icelandic dairy farmer past last summer who said that. I was surprised how many dairy farms he said there was, sure it was over 500
