And…. We’re off….Been a very tricky start here at J.B.Robinson and for many farmers who are trying to lift potatoes and farm in
General
The land is as dry as I’ve ever known it this time of year, especially in the bottom/subsoil it’s hard as concrete. Shear bolts are a must for the moment as we’re going to need some!
We just wanted to say thank you for the continued support of all our staff, suppliers customers and friends of the farm/family as without all of you it wouldn’t be possible!
Sometimes I wonder why I chose this career as it’s not easy but then I always think back to an old farmer friend and how if you asked him what he would do if he won the lottery, his response was always “I’d keep farmin til’ it’s all gon” in a thick Lincolnshire fen accent, which would then remind me this isn’t a career, for farmers it’s our whole life and what a wonderful life it is too, even though it’s not easy.
Good luck to all the other farmers out there with the final push to the end of the season and let’s hope we get some rain… (but not too much)
Happy farming! Much love the J.B.Robinson team.
