It's a while since I last wrote the Entrepreneurs Forum conference has been and gone which I took a lot from, I particularly enjoyed listening to Martin Lightbody and Matt Riley I could relate to a lot of what they had to say which plants the thought in your head I could grow my business to the scale they have one fine day! It was great to meet the other finalists too good luck to everyone.

Down on the farm oooo aaarrrr the boyos have been preparing for the haylage season checking the machines over in the workshop ready for the start of our haylage harvest next week which should be stressful as we need good weather but as I can't control the weather I don't worry about it one bit! We will start mowing tomorrow and baling on Tuesday the forecast is good so fingers crossed all will go well, it can't be worse than last year anyway.

I have been busy with Jim my consultant working through salary structures for the new sales position which is a tricky one finding the right balance for both parties. We have also been looking at performance related bonus schemes for the other staff members.

Seth is back to work as he says he was bored at home he is hobbling around like some one you would expect to be called Seth maybe I will send him to see Claire Fitzpatrick my fellow finalist.

Time to go as I have my agronomist coming to look at some grass fields which need to be sprayed then Peter who I buy my grass seed from.
