Well now I’ve heard it all. The ‘do-gooders’ in our capital formulating rules and suggestions for we, the rural populations.
When harvesting in very hot and windy conditions, and being aware of the fire dangers, “just stop”. Have a water carrier nearby, yes, I agree but “just stop”? Really?
As a farmer’s daughter, the mantra is get the grain off as quickly as possible before it is downgraded or wrecked by a thunderstorm.
A farmer doesn’t relax till the crops are all in storage.
I am seriously amazed at the ignorance of some people in authority (not the local establishment though!)
