afternoon tff currently contemplating what to do next started contracting 4 years ago we do a few niche jobs as everyone has a baler and chopper.we do lime fert direct drilling of forage crops and grass and heavy discing in the spring summer i also live on the family farm with my wife and kids in partnership with my parents we have 60 suckler cows and 700 breeding ewes.in the winter I work for labour for one of my good customers as my farther is still a fit man but neither of us take much time off.so I am after ideas for winter work so I can stay more flexible for work at home and I do struggle at times with my back which is why I started contracting to be my own boss. One idea is to build a workshop for fabrication of various things or services machines for clients another would be fencing both would let me take on some men for some time of So in summary looking for others who have been in this situation and what have you done and changed thank you
