[QUOTE="T Hectares, post: 7433734, member: 2522"] [USER=6]@Clive[/USER], I admire how TFF has shaken RT and NFU and hope that it’s a continuation of the mini revolution that’s happening, but I really take issue with the “no skin in the game” or “just a manager” comments regarding Farm Managers that crop up on here Our “skin in the game” is our professional reputation, if we didn’t achieve results set by our employers targets we wouldn’t be able to continue in our positions, we couldn’t achieve our earning aspirations, or the bonus’s driven by the results we achieve We run exactly the same businesses with the same skill sets as a “farmer” with the same pressures I’ve known owner occupiers who employ advice of distributor agronomists, advisors and accountants and have less input on their own farms than I do as a Manager, is a managers opinion worth less than a “farmers?? Are people like Jake Freestone, David Millar, Craig Livingstone and our very own [USER=166]@Brisel[/USER] opinions worth less because they don’t own or rent the land they farm ?? [/QUOTE]
