Do you have THE most unusual job in the Land-Based industry?

We’ve racked our brains here in the land-force office this afternoon and we can’t come up with a really unusual job, so we are passing it out to you good people to tell us if you know of any really unusual jobs and what they involve. We know they’re out there, so get your thinking cap on and email us back any unusual job or story you have heard.

Hooray, I’ve got the hang of this new technology, if I can, anyone can.  Have a go its great fun, follow me on LandForce Team.  Sorry too busy Twittering, to do blogging this week.

With all this discussion over when is Wiltshire Ham, Wiltshire Ham or has it been manufactured in Denmark, I have found the best way to make sure you are buying british is to go direct to the producer and buy from your local farm shop. 

This can be a very rewarding and enjoyable way to shop, lets face it going to your local supermarket can hardly be described as enjoyable.  Graham, yes we are on first name terms, who serves behind the counter knows what I like to buy, gets fresher produce from the cold store if I ask and will prepare and trim anything special I need.  I also find that it’s not necessarily a more expensive option.  The meat available in my local farm shop is not only a similar price to the supermarket, but it hasn’t had a couple of pints of water added to it.

Here are some Farm Shops around the country you may like to try:

What a pain in the elbow!   As any of you will know if you have broken bones and work outside, life instantly grinds to a halt.  Trying to pick up feed bowls, whilst being mugged by large animals, who strangley think that a plaster cast is some new type of food and negotiating fences is not an easy task.  Try picking up a spade or broom,  there just isn’t enough room on the handle for hands and casts.  Dear customers of Land-force, take pity on me and send nice easy adverts to process and save me from the need for two hand typing.
