Evening All,
I have been in two minds for a couple months now over how I want to go forward in my working life. Since a young age I have always loved farming with the livestock, machinery and the country pursuits which go with it however my career is in financial services although most our clients are farmers.
This year I have been taking holidays and going with friends who work on farms to do some mowing and silage carting which I enjoyed. It was a totally different experience and you appreciate that there is more to a tractor driver than sitting and driving. You have to watch for people around you on the roads and in the field along with being able to try to fix those issues with overheating or ingestion on an implement.
I thought I would write on here and see whether anyone has been in a different industry and moved across into agriculture or even some first hand thoughts from you members with multiple years of experience.
Thanks for any thoughts/advice.
