At Neil's request, Neil and Ruth go through Ed's accounts. His money management is in a mess with no real budgeting or forward planning. Neil asks Ruth not to let on to proud Ed that they've had this meeting. But Ruth does want to speak to David, who is also concerned. Ed clearly needs decent dairy management software. Ruth has told Neil she'll show Ed how they run their budget, although finding the right moment to approach Ed with an offer of help may be tricky.
