The square baler guru was here two days ago. He's 80 now. Every year I worry about somehing happening and him being gone. I don't have enough trouble with it to remember how to make it hum, but I need to have it hum through about 4000 bales a year. It's been years since I did anything but twine for it, so he just looked it over for me and told me what he thought was in need. I can do it, I just don't have the depth of knowledge. When that man is gone there will not be anyone in the county that can work on one competently. Literally.
One of my nephew's friends is working for the BTO where they live and doing very well. They have put him in charge of the farm at age 20.

The days of "he's good wih his hands and can fix anything" aren't as revered as they used to be.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
