What have you been doing or plan on doing today?

Cold and wet with -5 on the farm, tractor work is up to date with most of the wheat in the ground. Off to listen to some of top arable farmers from around the world talk about fert,crops,irrigation today.

70% of farmers think they are in the top 10%, this should be a good test and show were the gaps are in my arable understanding.

flat out at work, done my first weekend in a good 7 years this week, doing 07.30 till 2100 most weekdays, as normal the contractors have let us down yet again at end of quarter, yet we still pay them, despite us having to do their job, doubt any other company would do it??? in tomorrow on ot again, but now counting down to the british gp in 2 week, and with luck I will get next weekend off as I will break the European working time rules if I do not, but that's never stopped them making me do mandatory overtime before, they just sign me out???

Thank you for the lovely comment I will not be telling her indoors about being fit as I won't hear the last of it! No I wasn't under there as well all I told her to do is find the oil leak and then she said take a picture got one from last year show under the Deutz she just like getting under my things? Anyway we are all good hope that you are all as well to.
