The jury is still out on whether such rapid expansion will be justified. 22018 has prove a very difficult year for farming in all sectors and with large debts to repay some farmers may have gotten too big too quick. Overall sustainable expansion with an emphasis on quality of life is in my opinion the best way to grow a business.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
