What a great learning experience for you all,  I grew up on a small hobbie farm and one day we hope to do it again - move to the country.

Glad you all had a fantastic day.

glad you had a fantastic family day, rue

22 years ago  we lived in a farming area and had many friends who were farmers so often visited them Helen loved it as one farmer and his wife had six sons so they spoilt Helen rottenHaha .We are now in a city but my husband (Sid) and I return to see them twice a year. Sid is a lay preacher and takes the service at their church  and we always have a great weekend with them

glad you had fun on "farm day"

farmers work very hard and deserve more respect and credit than they receive. especially from the wholesalers and shops that underpay for their products and then mark them up at the shelves.

farmers have to soldier on even when they are sick and have to refinance when things go bad due to weather.there is drought floods ice just to name a few elements that  can wipe off their crop.

awareness is very important especially to us city folk that sit in the comfort of our homes and forget the hardships that country people endure.

shame about the media not turning up

glad you all had fun though

cheers annie

Glad you all had a ball! So funny about the cows!

City ppl never realise how easy they have it..........

Sounds like a great day, we used to be friends with a farming family and I always remember one night when one of their sons was only 13 and he had been out driving the tractor for hours, came in and told his dad that there was something wrong, it was late in the evening and his father told him what to do and sent him back out again LOL They seemed to all work as a family non stop from sunrise to sunset and beyond  !!!!

wow what a day. yes it is a hard thing to live on a farm. My grandparents lived off our property. the only thing they bought was cleaners and milk, loo paper and things like that. we are all the fruit and veg we grew and had chooks and rabbits(to eat) it was a chore cause if you dont plant things at a certian time they rot and dont grow and they need to be harvested at a certian time to. they have to be watered at a particuar time too and fertilised ect. we only had 1.5ha but it was big for a retired couple. but they fruit and veg was the best and i havent found anything that is anyway as good as it. nothing like fresh peas off the vine, and corn cob straight of the husk oh and baby potatoes, not cooked. MMMMMMMMM. dam i miss that place.

glad you had such a great time.
