About Me

I grew up on a farm. I have many happy memories of helping my dad around the place. He would take me out on his tractor to plant seeds, water crops and clear drainage ditches. Although I now live in a big city and work in an office, I still retain the knowledge and skills I picked up out on the family farm. I also like to keep up to date with the latest developments in agricultural technology and modern farming methods. I decided to start this blog so I could keep in touch with my roots and pass on everything I know.
