pistol pete Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thats a fare size of farm does he farm it with many workers. ye the guy that worked on the farm at home started with horse did national service and came back and he retired 5 years ago. doesn't happen these days people move from farm to farm. there aren't many people go to work on farms from school now. My mates are finding it hard to find a good hand on machines these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
