Sage or wise advice in farming.

[Agrivator]

There must be thousands of gems which are worth sharing.

For those of you who can recall Sir Alec Douglas Home - or Lord Home:

His manager - Andrew Morrow, on his Angus and Douglas Estate in Lanarkshire, and after a period of heavy rain and during a visit by Sir Alec, advised ''If M'Lord ever disposes of all or part of your Estate, you will have to sell it by the gallon''.

Don't farm if you worry about getting your hands dirty.

If you can tie your horse to a thistle then buy the farm.

Cut the hay in the morning and spread fertiliser in the afternoon. That way you will be right half the time.

Me to my 2 boys in the mid to late eighties when they were about 15 to 17 ish and bearing in mind that they were not living with me and therefore not growing up on the farm like farmer's sons: "If I'm lucky, this farm will just about get me to retirement, go off and be a yuppie and get well paid for it"

Although I could have easily retired earlier I kept the farm going until I was 73, and the kids, including my daughter all went to university. They've all done extremely well.

My farm, less some of the buildings has been added to my next door neighbour's place proving the point that it was not big enough.
