My Day
8 - Primary Industry
Busy harvest time

(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE) 

"Previous to this I had been managing a potato farm. Harvest was incredibly busy. I would often leave the house at 6 o'clock in the morning. We'd get field operations underway by 7. You have everything set up beforehand and everybody knows what they're doing but something's going to go wrong.

"Until that happens I'm checking on production and efficiencies and quality and seeing how things are going. The minute crisis happens that's when I have to step up to the plate and make decisions quickly. We'll have 25 people in one crew and if one machine goes down that's costing us money."
