WHY FARMING?
My first farm job was in 1996. I was always very interested in the environment and once I started farming I felt it was the most intimate connection between people and the world around them. I also like driving tractors and getting dirty!

CHALLENGES THIS SEASON?
So far, rain seems like a persistent challenge this season.
