Brian waves the white flag and Adam takes a risk
At Brookfield Ben practices his sheepdog whistle much to everyone鈥檚 annoyance. He鈥檚 keen to improve before his sheepdog training course next week. Toby鈥檚 been very busy and Pip has been doing the lion鈥檚 share of the childcare. David continues to worry about Brookfield鈥檚 feed shortage and is annoyed to be having to shell out for expensive straw.
Adam and Brian discuss growing quinoa and soya. Adam wants to buy the latest GPS technology which will mean they鈥檒l only use the minimum synthetic fertilizer for the best possible results. Adam says he鈥檚 done the sums and since they鈥檝e moved to their no-till system he thinks they鈥檙e under-using some of their bigger tractors. If they were to sell one tractor they鈥檇 raise the money for the new kit. Brian thinks this is a gamble but agrees that the farm won鈥檛 survive if they stand still.
