Getting to know the farmers and try and be a happy person on the farm, seems to set things off on the right foot.” --- ### “Never boasting, never go on to a farm and say, “I’m going to sort this out, I’m the best”. Stand and listen, and I’ll see what I can do.” --- ### “Relationships with farmers - I would say just keep trying to talk with them. It can be hard because they can be very quiet, not give you much back but just keep trying.” --- ### “I think people, our clients, are a lock and you have to find the key to unlock them because that’s sometimes the most difficult part of it.”
