Must be some kind of grand fathers rights arrangement for laziness@Blod once described our farming as "old fashioned" so I must be an "old fashioned farmer" as apposed to a "modern" one
Would that mean I am not lazy by default ? @Thomas5060

I never did work out if I should take Flower's comment as an insult or a complementToo lazy to change
I love looking at places like that.Before any one thinks I'm really harsh, I do give credit where credit is due. One farm in particular stands out in this area. A mixed farm which is around 500-600, farmer by 2 brothers and a son with 2 or 3 works and the place is exemplary. The yard is immaculate, the stock is well cared for and always have plenty of grass. The fields are worked i.e. Topped, rolled, sprayed and sower with fert. Even the ground they rent gets treated as if it's their own. The reason I know this is because we do digger work for the man that owns some of the rented ground and we see them work it etc
that depends if your 65 a hour is profit or just what you charge ?i can earn 65 a hour scrub cutting and i pay fencer 35 a hour ummmmmm guess it's working smarter
600 hectares?Before any one thinks I'm really harsh, I do give credit where credit is due. One farm in particular stands out in this area.

well you could hardly call me "fit" whatever way you mean it@Henarar it was an observation. Your style of Farming suits your farm and you , and your stock are fit. (Thought hard about the punctuation) .
Doesn't have to be bread, can be fadge
Acres, and 3 and then 1 full time worker and a few part time600 hectares?
3 or 6 working it?
But you have tractors with cabs , radio and all that fancy malarkey, so how can that be old fashioned?I never did work out if I should take Flower's comment as an insult or a complement
But think there is plenty to learn from the old boys so perhaps a complement ?
