An update from Hamish –
2020 went well all considering, the period of study during lockdown provided its challenges but it was also great to be able to work on farm while studying! The balance was great! My studies went well.
Over my holidays I have been working on a sheep, beef and mixed cropping operation! I have been busy harvesting and baling grass seed and barley.
I am doing honours this year, in Plant Science. My exact project is yet to be decided, but I am working with a couple of academics including Derrick Moot to organise a suitable project. I am looking at a few, one on cereals, another on grass tillering, a couple on forage brassicas/annual grasses and am quite interested in red clover so there are plenty of options!
I head back to university on the 20th of February and will enjoy my summer work before heading back.
Kind Regards,
Hamish
