About this listen
The joys and the harsh realities of farm life, from a writer whose family has farmed the same piece of land for five generations.
Farmer Tim Saunders manages to incorporate some writing into his days, and here he describes his life through the seasons: summer, shearing, slaughter, crop harvest, conservation; autumn, floods, trading stock, drenching, dagging; winter, maize harvest, lambing; and spring, docking, pet sheep, weaning.
It's a tough life, and through his powerful, poignant writing Tim tells of his connection to the land, why he loves farming, how he's also conflicted by it and what it is that keeps him tethered to that place.
