I reckon all us contractors would probably even settle for this at the moment because at least we would be making hay! This season is definitely a challenging one!

Check out this photo sent in by an AFIA member this morning with the caption.... 'Dad was teaching one of our truck drivers how to bale hay and look what happened'... I think he better stick to trucks!
