The words "first generation farmer" make me cringe on social media I'm afraid. Without naming names there is a few people that post on Instagram which reckon to be first generation farmers, post all day on what they are doing, always seem to dress in the latest schoffels and 1000 acre trousers, maybe have 50 sheep, and seem to crop up everywhere on radio/ social media events etc. How the hell do people have time to do all this promotion stuff when starting out. It drives me insane. I've managed to get to about 120+ cattle and contracting machinery on my own, although I have borrowed bits of money here and there, but posing in front of the camera for attention is the last thing I'd want. Seem to work 14 hours 7 days a week, which I don't mind as its my choice and I'm hungry to succeed.
