the stress would crack you up in days, tough game this farming Neutral

You need a bit of land, several expensive tractors with complimenting machines behind, favourable weather and an unflappable spirit.

And many many pieces of paperwork, compliance tests training certificates, etc etc etc etc Rolling Eyes At work

Oddly enough I just had the lower field drained last week, the bill £5000 Big Cry 4" perforated plastic pipe is lowered into a trench cut by a special machine and the trench is filled with gravel. allowing water to peculate down to the pipe and flow off into the nearest ditch.
Without drainage crops don't grow properly and machines sink up to their axles, especially in the last 2 years since Land-rovers caused global warming and it rains all the time. Evil or Very Mad At work
