You blokes are lucky you don't have irrigation to deal with. Take your normal 13 / 14 hr day and just add water....autumn is rapidly approaching and here that means flood irrigating 850 ac ( and sowing down same). Last year was 116 hrs a week for 6 weeks straight. Changing water knows no rest. Day or night it needs doing when it needs doing. Doesn't matter how good your staff are. At the end of the day your going to struggle to find anyone but yourself to get out of bed at 10pm / 1am / 3am and then 5am again and still turn up to milk.
