- 6:00They

- 6:04entry
- 6:04into
- 6:05the
- 6:05Yara
- 6:05Fertilizers.
- 6:07When
- 6:07that
- 6:07stopped
- 6:08three
- 6:08years
- 6:08ago,
- 6:09we
- 6:09decided
- 6:10in
- 6:10memory
- 6:10of
- 6:11our
- 6:11father,
- 6:12who
- 6:12passed
- 6:12away
- 6:12a
- 6:12couple
- 6:13of
- 6:13years
- 6:13before
- 6:13that.
- 6:14But
- 6:14one,
- 6:14we
- 6:15wanted
- 6:15to
- 6:15keep
- 6:15the
- 6:15thing
- 6:15going.
- 6:16We
- 6:16had
- 6:16a
- 6:16cohort
- 6:17of
- 6:17people
- 6:17who
- 6:17desperately
- 6:18wanted
- 6:18to
- 6:18carry
- 6:18on
- 6:19curling.
- 6:19Didn't
- 6:20matter
- 6:20if
- 6:20they
- 6:20had
- 6:20to
- 6:20pay
- 6:20a
- 6:21little
- 6:21bit
- 6:21to
- 6:21come
- 6:21along
- 6:21to
- 6:22it,
- 6:22they
- 6:22still
- 6:22wanted
- 6:23to
- 6:23come

- 6:24had
- 6:24a
- 6:24bit
- 6:24of
- 6:24an
- 6:24open
- 6:25door.
- 6:25So
- 6:25we
- 6:25just
- 6:26thought,
- 6:26we'll
- 6:26make
- 6:26it
- 6:26in
- 6:26the
- 6:27memory
- 6:27of
- 6:27our
- 6:27father.
- 6:28It's
- 6:28a
- 6:28continuation
- 6:29of
- 6:29something
- 6:29that's
- 6:29gone
- 6:30on
- 6:30for
- 6:30a

- 6:30time.
- 6:31They
- 6:31like
- 6:31it,
- 6:32we

- 6:32I
- 6:32think
- 6:33it's
- 6:33good
- 6:33for
- 6:33them.
- 6:33I
- 6:34mean,
- 6:34let's
- 6:34focus
- 6:34a
- 6:35little
- 6:35bit
- 6:35on
- 6:35your
- 6:35dad.
- 6:36What
- 6:36type
- 6:36of
- 6:37man
- 6:37was
- 6:37he
- 6:39as
- 6:39a
- 6:39curler?
- 6:40He
- 6:40was
- 6:40fiercely
- 6:40competitive.
- 6:41He
- 6:41was
- 6:42the
- 6:42first
- 6:42guy
- 6:43to
- 6:43win
- 6:43the

- 6:45back
- 6:45to
- 6:46here
- 6:46away
- 6:46from
- 6:47Canada.
- 6:47And
- 6:47that
- 6:47was
- 6:471967.
- 6:49My
- 6:49father's
- 6:49motto.
- 6:50Everything
- 6:50he
- 6:50did,
- 6:50whether
- 6:51it
- 6:51was
- 6:52farming
- 6:52or
- 6:52whether
- 6:52it
- 6:53was
- 6:53rugby,
- 6:54golf,
- 6:55Carling,
- 6:55whatever
- 6:56he
- 6:56was
- 6:56doing
- 6:56was
- 6:56play
- 6:57hard,
- 6:57play
- 6:58incredibly
- 6:58hard
- 6:58to
- 6:58win.
- 6:59But
- 6:59afterwards
- 6:59it
- 7:00was
- 7:00so
- 7:00important
- 7:00to
- 7:01see
- 7:01the
- 7:01social
- 7:02interaction.
- 7:03A
- 7:03problem
- 7:03shares
- 7:04a
- 7:04problem
- 7:04half.
- 7:05And
- 7:05people
- 7:05who
- 7:06are
- 7:06working
- 7:06out
- 7:06in
- 7:06the
- 7:06farm
- 7:06zone
- 7:07think
- 7:07this
- 7:07is
- 7:07the
- 7:08world
- 7:08is
- 7:08coming
- 7:08to
- 7:08an

- 7:09They

- 7:10and
- 7:10find

- 7:18always
- 7:18an
- 7:18enthusiast
- 7:19and
- 7:19always

- 10:50where
- 10:51they're
- 10:51probably

- 11:01to
- 11:01bowls
- 11:02or
- 11:02whatever
- 11:02else.
- 11:02But
- 11:03it's
- 11:03about
- 11:03getting
- 11:03people
- 11:04together
- 11:04even
- 11:04if
- 11:05they
- 11:05don't

- 17:56he
- 17:56just
- 17:56said
- 17:56at
- 17:56that
- 17:57time,
- 17:57right,
- 17:57we're
- 17:58all
- 17:58going
- 17:58in,
- 17:58we're
- 17:59all
- 17:59going
- 17:59to
- 17:59discuss

- 18:59I'm
- 18:59doing
- 18:59this

- 19:09case
- 19:09of,
- 19:09no,
- 19:10you

- 19:11it's
- 19:11just
- 19:11this
- 19:12was
- 19:12the
- 19:12best
- 19:12thing
- 19:12for
- 19:13all
- 19:13of
- 19:13us
- 19:13to
- 19:13do.
- 19:14We're

- 19:14own
- 19:15defined
- 19:15patterns
- 19:16by
- 19:16that
- 19:16time
- 19:16anyway.
- 19:17But
- 19:17it
- 19:17was
- 19:17clear
- 19:17they
- 19:17wanted
- 19:18to
- 19:18make
- 19:18it
- 19:18absolutely
- 19:19clear
- 19:19at
- 19:19the
- 19:19time
- 19:20that
- 19:20this
- 19:20is

- 19:20to
- 19:20happen.
- 19:21He's
- 19:21obsessed

- 19:25was
- 19:25probably
- 19:25the
- 19:26very,
- 19:27very
- 19:27early

- 19:38He
- 19:38saw
- 19:38no
- 19:38point
- 19:39at
- 19:39all
- 19:39in

- 19:41and
- 19:4160s,
- 19:42said,
- 19:42you're
- 19:42trending
- 19:43back
- 19:43down
- 19:43again
- 19:44by
- 19:44that
- 19:44stage,
- 19:45I

- 19:48farming
- 19:48issues
- 19:48around
- 19:49the
- 19:49country.
- 19:49It
- 19:49would
- 19:49have
- 19:49helped
- 19:50hugely.
- 19:51I've

- 19:54one
- 19:54of
- 19:54our
- 19:54greatest
- 19:55assets

- 19:56family.
- 19:56He
- 19:56had
- 19:56this
- 19:57vision
- 19:57to
- 19:57do
- 19:57this.
- 20:58I
- 20:58mean,
- 20:59I
- 20:59went
- 20:59through
- 21:0035
- 21:00years
- 21:01of
- 21:01banking
- 21:02career
- 21:02only
- 21:03lending.
- 21:03I've
- 21:03seen
- 21:04a
- 21:04lot
- 21:04of
- 21:04situations
- 21:05lending
- 21:06money
- 21:06to
- 21:06farmers.
- 21:06I've
- 21:07seen
- 21:07it
- 21:07done
- 21:07really
- 21:08well,
- 21:08not
- 21:09that
- 21:09often.
- 21:09I've
- 21:10seen
- 21:10it
- 21:10done
- 21:10really
- 21:10badly
- 21:11and
- 21:11I've
- 21:11seen
- 21:11it
- 21:11not
- 21:11done
- 21:12at
- 21:12all.
- 21:13And
- 21:13he
- 21:13was
- 21:13maybe,
- 21:14you
- 21:14could
- 21:14maybe
- 21:15say
- 21:15a
- 21:15man
- 21:15before
- 21:15his
- 21:16time
- 21:16in
- 21:16terms
- 21:16of
- 21:16what
- 21:17he
- 21:17did.
- 21:17He
- 21:17probably
- 21:17wasn't.
- 21:18He'd
- 21:18probably
- 21:18seen
- 21:18it
- 21:19himself
- 21:19just
- 21:19by
- 21:20other
- 21:20people.
- 21:21That
- 21:21was
- 21:21a
- 21:21disaster.
- 21:22He
- 21:22should
- 21:22never
- 21:22have
- 21:23left
- 21:23his
- 21:24two
- 21:24sons

- 21:2665.
- 21:27That
- 21:27would
- 21:27have
- 21:27been
- 21:28hopeless.
- 21:29Dave
- 21:29was
