You missed farm manager off ?

I assumed that came under "full time farmer." There was no mention of "skin in the game" this time!

Something similar here, though a bit less formal. Would you describe yourself as a full time farmer?

Clive said Defra and the like were all over TFF taking a great interest in joining discussion, but I see that box is still empty.

A bit like the higher echelons of the NFU/CLA. They read, but rarely post.

For instance the House of Commons have an account, here, but I can't see them coming on this thread to tick a poll.

With thousands of members and lurkers, a quick poll to see how the members are connected to agriculture.

Please tick the most appropriate box, even though some of you might be able to tick more than one.

Am I full or part time then ?

I am fully responsible for my 600 acres of earth

@Clive should have been brave when he started and made real names compulsory instead of hiding in the corner sort of names

Nothing worse than an unmarked police car

Most days yes
The others I sometimes think I just pulled the short straw.
Hurry up and get the NIAB meetings going again BTW, always good to see what's occurring up there.

You decide !!

@YorkshireAndrew no section for brewery assistant

There is an 'Other' option for the undecided !



This was only tended as a rough guide, so you lot relly need to stop thinking outside the box. The reality is that there are very full farmers that make 100% of their income from farming. Most now have a difersufication business alongside farming and the lucky ones amongst you have a trust fund, inherited share portfolios, or several rented properties.
