How did you make that sort of jump?

Because I grew up on my farm, but I went away to New York for 15 years.

And I think what New York and the experience I had in New York taught me was that it is okay to take risks.

It is really important to think outside the box.

And if you look at a system that is not working, which clearly our farming and agriculture system is not working, okay, then you've got to do something different to survive.

And it was really that simple.

So, you know, I was lucky because I had a farm manager who actually understood farming.

And then, so what would be your top takeaway for any of our listeners for the Ag Show? Is it just take that leap, see what you can do that might make things a little bit easier or different for you?

... about your journey of returning to the farm?

Yeah.

So I-- My grandfather actually bought it in 1936.

So, um, he, and, um, he moved into an a- there was an abbey at the bottom end of the farm, which used to be run by Cistercian monks until Henry VIII came along.

And, um, anyway, he bought it in 1936, then my father took it over in 1980.

I, I went to America.

It's a long story.
