I've just had an excellent three day course with three of the next generation of British farming. A big thank you to Mark Garrick for the use of his facilities and the use of his tractors.
The trainees got the opportunity to use three different tractors, trailer and mower combinations.
This was the first of their courses as part of their apprenticeship where they will work in the agricultural sector for the next six months.
If you think that you could provide a trainee with a placement, if not this year then maybe next then contact me for further information.

A busy week! Monday and Tuesday we hosted the LANTRA tree felling verification for instructors. Wednesday was back to ATV training and Thursday and Friday was keeping on top of lambing. Oh for a quiet life in the country.

I've had a great couple of days this week with the lads from Landmarc at the airweapons range up near Tain.
They were doing their tractor refresher courses and all was going well until they tried to put the pto shaft from the front flail onto the tractor.
Now as anyone who has fitted pto's knows this is either an absolute breeze or a dog of a job especially as the snow just started and the guys had frozen fingers on cold steel.
At one point there was four of them all getting involved and I only had three on this course. Eventually it clicked into place and all was well.
Teamwork makes the dream work. Well done to all.

Finlay, Andrew and Joe had a chilly couple of days at Birkenhill Farm undertaking their chainsaw maintenance and cross cutting course. Well done to all but especially to Joe who never even wore a jacket, (well hard).

It was a cold day for Stewart and Hamish on top of a hill between snow flurries doing their ATV courses. Well done to both, it was a lot colder than it looks.

Well done to Lee, Craig and George on their Lantra three day tractor course. A great bunch of guys and a very enjoyable three days. I get to work in many unusual locations with my job but I would say that the largest Air Weapons Range in Europe is a one off. Well not realy, it looks like I'm booked in again next month. See you all again soon.

Day three at Tain Air Weapons Ranges and George and Lee are watching Craig trying to fit a square tractor into a round hole. Everyone got the hang of it eventually. Look at that sky, we were so lucky with the weather over all three days.

We had our first battery chainsaw on a course today.
Ian had a Stihl which despite its deminutive size performed well and was quite a surprise to us all.
