I can turn on a computer. But I learn fast, especially when motivated by potential earnings.
Good luck, I have seen his work and would not attempt to do it for all the tea in China. However good luck, i have met many of his friends in the industry and the one thing that struck me was they are very similar to farmers in being totally diverse and dedicated to the job

Morning All,

Our main operator / farm manager has left, a little more suddern than we expected, but it was always talked about.

we now have the task of recruiting, we feel its a good all round job with a decent 4 bed house but looking out there, lots of jobs being advertise but very few wanting - certainly goign to be hard to find someone.

where does one start to advertise?

Facebook feels too unspecific
Not sure the farm manager / operator we need reads the FW?
Farmers Guradian perhaps?
any recrutiment companies?

not sure i can stomach poaching someone of a neighbourin farmer - all though if they are unhappy / want to move up a gear then perhaps its not too awful.

any advice welcome, easy on the horror storries please!
Is their a difference between farmers weekly and guardian? Ive always thought weekly had greater breadth but maybe you like guardian readers anyway

I find this comment offensive, weather you like the woman or not a little respect to a woman elder than yourself is good manners. Have you met her do you know her? So it's maybe just an opinion of yours but not fact.
In some countries you would already be hanging for a comment as dis tasteful.
Like, loath, love, hate you can still be reaspetful. Obviously your personal opinion which thankfully we are all aloud, but could of been shared in a better way. And yes am sure we will have to disagree to agree.
