I would still prefer steady work all year than a few Months of mad hell
And all weather dependent , I've walked in those shoes , gave me blisters, so binned them

Merry Christmas from Brighton

So........ which is best.......skiing at Christmas, or spend all summer trawling the shows, collecting rosettes whilst wearing a stupid hat, whilst contractors get on with the silage and other work at home........

I rest my case

I rest my case

I grew up on a livestock farm so made a conscious choice that was not how I wanted to spend my life. I wanted 3 things from my career choice, 1) enjoyment 2) time away from it to enjoy none working life / relationships with others and 3) the money to allow me and my family choices , experiences and opportunities

although carrying on as a livestock farmer like my father “maybe” offered number 1 it never looked likely to deliver number 2 or 3 ! i’m lucky that the choice I did make has done so however

greatest of respect to those that do keep livestock as i do know first hand how hard and committed it is Arable isn’t always easy but it’s certainly a LOT easier than livestock farming in my experience

No problem ! All good Chinese restaurants sell spare ones. I'm sure someone on here will know how to fit them.

I‘m pulling the chain of you arable boys. Used to grow 400ac of cereals in the 80s and 90s with a sheep flock to keep me busy October to March
Weather is the great leveller and can destroy a seasons work in 24hours such as wind turning OSR from brown, full pods to white empty ones .. or disastrously picking Moulin as your wheat variety of choice.

Now I mess about with 166 cows and spend my life coated in slurry to the extent that I have to take my trousers off as soon as walk in door .. By Order

Steady on there, I’m not skiing until the 7th….but I’ve got some spanner’s to tidy so I’ll be busy for a week before I go….

 

[Gone Shooting]

Just back from Jamaica - tummy a bit red but should be ok for the Feb holiday - trying to find my ski goggles at the mo ! Must remember to have gun serviced as well - wish i had cattle and sheep to fill in the odd days

 

[Clive]

arable really is a part time job on a cereal farm there really isn’t much to do November- March so you could easy spend a couple months shooting, pre christmas ski, post christmas / new year Caribbean maybe a yacht ? bit more late shooting and then time for more skiing in February

trouble is part time arable alone will certainly not fund that lifestyle for long !

Do you have a big family ? Is the trousers off so you don’t waste any time
