ryaldinhio 5,189 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I have been chasing perms near me for a while now and no joy. One of the farmers I asked who had politely said no thanks came round to do some fencing for me today, he fetched his young lad who showed interest in the stinkers. So I got a jill out for him to hold and had a chat with them both, turns out the farmer used to keep and work them but due to lack of time packed it in. I offered to take the lad out with me because he seemed keen, farmer said Ive got some embankments full of rabbits you can come and do as they easily take a few acres off of me every year! Obviously I was happy with this but conversation moved on to why he had turned me down before if the rabbits were such an issue. It turns out he has had 'poachers' all over his land. He has had chains cut off gates multiple times, crops damaged because of these running 4x4s over the land etc. This is the reason why it is sooooo hard to get perms, people dont want you on their land and rightly so in my mind. I told him we arent all bad! Its about time I got some decent perms for a return favour to a member on here, I just need to broach the subject of takin the muts with us now!!! 5 Quote Link to post

Worked all day and every time I asked if he wanted a drink I got a 'no, but thankyou for asking' didnt think young uns were like that anymore! Admitedley he was driving the tractor so had the coolest weekend job in the world for a 12 yr old!!! He loves farmig aswell, the shame is talking to his father he doesnt know how young un will survive doing it but he absolutely lives it 100%. Quote Link to post
