That's a relief thus morning, I thought the whole thing was going to flop, boom and bust farming, hard to plan ahead but I'm certainly be doing less
I always fill out aurivos 5 year plan with less cows and less milk, never to have pulled back the throttle

If everybody would keep less cows..........................except me.

Just received my rates bill.
It's up from last year.
Would love to throw it in the blue bin but it's full. Hasn't been emptied in three weeks. Black bin was emptied lastt week for the first time in four weeks. Bin men on strike. Council should have organized private contractor to cover strike period,in my opinion.
Good work council.

When they striked here, they came the next week and drove past everyone's bins without emptying them, because they decided to change the calendar rota. Without telling anyone. They do have a website though, that they could have used to communicate some information to their paying customers. And a Facebook page. And a Twitter account. I checked them all and not so much as a peep about anything current. Brains to burn. Seems they've burned them.
 
Land not far from me, just under 100 acre and a small yard built in the 70s with a shared entrance currently making 1.9million. Can’t figure out weather it’s @Wee Willy or @zsnotdead looking an out farm.
Not me, I've got to the top of my tree, no more investments, no more expansion, no more waiting on jam later, no more medium to long term bull sh!t.
It's a funny life farming, set out goals for your life and when you actually get there,you're now old. Certainly work but don't over do the farming.
