‘ Cheap and cheerful’- the best way to farm and the best way to entice the next generation. Well said!I have a few bits of undergate for jumpers too but they tend to get used wet - and give me a hell of a boot
So I use those fancy alligator clips and have a big box of wiring out of an old washing machine with spade terminals on.
I found I could buy 10 alligator clips for the price of one ready-made lead, and yes I am that tight!
It isn't the spending, it's the principle of paying too much for bugger all; others may just pay what it costs and moan "it's robbery", but I have kids watching my moves
I realise now just how much I picked up off my old man, and how by making farming easy and enjoyable it drew me in - I really don't mind if my lads want to farm or not, but I would like to involve them in a system that's cheap and cheerful not one built around fear, and buying stuff.
Unsure if "regenerative" farming is limited to making the land better, or encompasses making living from the land something the next generation want to be involved in... but it is much easier to teach decisionmaking when everyone knows what we are trying to achieve
Don't know how I jumped from jumper leads to my succession plan, but hey ho
