Jim runs 105ha, with the help of his wife Jesme and son John, in two units in central Scotland. They keep 110 Holstein Friesians, followers and beef stores. Jim is actively involved in grassland and breed societies and milk industry politics. I am writing this month's column on the paradise island of Tenerife. With milk prices in free fall, it will probably be the last time for a while that I will enjoy 40°C + temperatures here (that is just over 100°F in old language). Judging by the people we meet, it seems that there are quite a few of the farming fraternity who enjoy this wonderful climate in February and March.
