This morning I enjoyed a cycle around the Canterbury country side with Mikes wife Sally.
It is so flat around here making a cycling a breeze.

Mike arranged some visits for me including with his
agronomist and a large neighboring family farming enterprise which manages a
quite diverse business. This includes, arable farming, contracting, seven
dairies and a carrot washing business which Mike & Sally have shares in.
Michelle provided me with an interesting insight into the systems used in
running their business.
Later in the afternoon I cut my teeth on Mikes potatoes
harvester.
