It is the Friday before the Royal Welsh show and as yet there are no bags packed, the caravan is still in storage and needs cleaning inside and out and still no silage! Its normally a rush to get things ready to take up but this year is set to be the most disorganised yet given that we have spent most of the last week in hospital with Llyr who has had appendicitis. Thankfully he is now better and came out of hospital yesterday but all our plans for this week had to be put on hold. It is dry today but the land is so wet it is unlikely we will be able to attempt silage until next week either.
The plan for this weekend had been to go to the CLA Game Fair this Sunday but unfortunately that also has been affected by the weather. Cothi Shears today and Capeli Shears tomorrow are still going ahead in spite of weather and have managed to ensure that they have sufficient dry lambs for the shearers. It will be interesting to see who from the Welsh and New Zealand teams come out on top this year in their competitions and good luck to all the local shearers competing in both events.
The Royal Welsh Show is once again jam packed with events and things to see and do. More than anything else I enjoy the chance to meet up with people that I haven't seen for a while - sometimes not having seen them since last year's Show. We will be launching our Agri Advisor training courses for farmers at the Show. For more details please have a look at our website at http://www.agriadvisor.co.uk/tools-and-training . Increasingly we as farmers have to abide by rules and regulations and the law has becoming more and more relevant to how we conduct our day to day farming business. The courses we will be running from September to help farmers spot legal issues and discuss simple ways in which legal disputes can be avoided. Also, there will be a course on how to attack the forms and record keeping that is required of farmers in the most efficient and user friendly ways.
Throughout August we are also going to be offering a special offer for the preparation of Powers of Attorney. Powers of Attorney can provide authority for someone else to deal with your financial and/or care requirements when you are no longer able to do so yourself. If you would like to find out more about this offer please give us a ring on 01558 841550 or email us on advisor@agriadvisor.co.uk. There will also be more details in our July newsletter which can be found at www.agriadvisor.co.uk/chewingthecud
The barns are also making swift progress with the roof on the first barn starting to be retiled today. See for yourself below
