On Monday Morning Gary, Kent and I headed off with Brian to visit Grain Harvesters, a grain trading, milling and feed production cooperative. We had a fantastic presentation from Richard and his two staff on the operations of the mill, value adding and the issues facing the agricultural sector in the Kent region of England. It was a wonderful insight into their operations and it was clear to see that we were facing similar challenges and objectives in both our districts, despite many of these often resulting from different causes.
After a pub lunch at the Mermaid we headed off to visit a 300 head Dairy Farm, one of the very few remaining. At 5.30 we all met up at the Canterbury Cathedral Hall for a talk from Robin Knox Johnston, a solo round the world yachtsman of much acclaim. It was a fascinating presentation part of the Canterbury Festival currently being held within the city.
