Ah Benn,
Great to see some youth and enthusiasm out there. Seen many people like =
yourself over the years with just as much enthusiasm for dairy farming =
when they first got into it. Sorry to say that not many have survived =
the pressures though.=20
Will love to hear from you in 20 years time to see if you are just as =
enthusiastic, especially if you decide to go down the path of purchasing =
your own farm while at the same time raising a family.
Loved John Bowmans last couple of sentences: "Everyone has different =
expectations on life and these may change with time and age, so perhaps =
there is no correct answer. Success is the journey not the destination!" =
So, so true.
Anyway Benn keep up the good work. But just remember not everyone wishes =
to be an Olympic athlete. For every Olympian out there are a thousand =
others that aren't and they are the ones that keep the sport alive.

To all,
My violin is playing for you all! If you don't enjoy your profession =
then LEAVE!
The dairy industry has a great future in front of it,=20
- high than average rains predicted this autumn/winter
- lower than average temp. this autumn/winter
- excellent milk price
- cheap feed stuffs
To maximise this situation all you need is management. To have the =
skill to put all of these things together and make your asset hum.
Why are people only striving to be average at there profession? You =
should aim at the top and never take your eye off it. Knowledge is =
wealth, so go out and find out what your strengths and weakness are, =
once finding what your weaknesses are, learn, research, practise, =
improve what ever it is. If you cant, employ someone who can, it would =
work out cheaper to employ someone doing it spot on then you doing a =
half baked job of it.
The reason there is a problem with enticing young people into this =
career path is because it is so easy to hear these stories of people =
doing it tough, not making any money, not having a life. Do you know why =
you don't here of all the good news stories, people have great wealth =
and life style?... Its because they have got there head down having a =
fare dinkum crack at this job and just ignore the people with a chip on =
there shoulder or and axe to grind.
So I recommend you all do the same, have a crack, you might surprise =
yourself, you might actually enjoy it, and if you don't.... then leave.
