  he's

  years
• 0:59
  now
• 1:00
  and
• 1:00
  he's
• 1:00
  become
• 1:01
  something
• 1:02
  of
• 1:02
  a
• 1:02
  well
• 1:02
  being
• 1:03
  champion
• 1:03
  after
• 1:04
  first
• 1:05
  sharing
• 1:05
  a
• 1:05
  social
• 1:06
  media
• 1:06
  video.
• 1:07
  It
• 1:07
  was
• 1:07
  his
• 1:08
  21st
• 1:08
  birthday
• 1:09
  and
• 1:09
  he
• 1:10
  made
• 1:10
  quite
• 1:10
  an
• 1:10
  emotional
• 1:11
  speech
• 1:11
  about
• 1:12
  his
• 1:12
  mental
• 1:12
  health
• 1:13
  and
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  kind
• 1:13
  of
• 1:13
  things
• 1:14
  that
• 1:14
  he'd
• 1:14
  been
• 1:14
  through.
• 1:15
  And
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  morning
• 1:15
  after,
• 1:16
  when
• 1:16
  he
• 1:16
  was
• 1:16
  clearing
• 1:16
  up,
• 1:17
  he
• 1:17
  published
• 1:17
  this
• 1:17
  video
• 1:18
  about
• 1:18
  the
• 1:19
  pressures
• 1:19
  he
• 1:19
  was
• 1:20
  facing
• 1:20
  and
• 1:20
  the
• 1:20
  things
• 1:20
  he
• 1:21
  was
• 1:21
  dealing
• 1:22
  with.
• 1:23
  I
• 1:23
  did
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  speech
• 1:25
  at
• 1:25
  the
• 1:26
  party
• 1:27
  and
• 1:27
  it
• 1:27
  was
• 1:27
  really,
• 1:28
  really
• 1:28
  well
• 1:30
  backed
• 1:31
  by
• 1:31
  everybody.
• 1:32
  After
• 1:32
  I'd
• 1:32
  finished
• 1:33
  my
• 1:33
  speech
• 1:33
  about
• 1:34
  men's
• 1:34
  mental
• 1:35
  health
• 1:35
  and
• 1:36
  definitely
• 1:38
  especially
• 1:38
  farmers.
• 1:39
  The
• 1:39
  post
• 1:39
  that
• 1:40
  he
• 1:40
  made
• 1:40
  went
• 1:41
  basically
• 1:41
  viral
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  he
• 1:42
  has
• 1:42
  become
• 1:42
  as
• 1:43
  well
• 1:43
  as
• 1:43
  a
• 1:43
  young
• 1:43
  farmer,
• 1:44
  a
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  a
• 1:44
  young
• 1:45
  carer,
• 1:45
  a
• 1:46
  champion
• 1:46
  for
• 1:46
  mental
• 1:47
  health
• 1:47
  and
• 1:47
  he's,
• 1:47
  you
• 1:47
  know,
• 1:47
  he's
• 1:48
  getting
• 1:48
  all
• 1:48
  sorts
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  traction
• 1:49
  and
• 1:50
  really
• 1:50
  cutting
• 1:51
  through
• 1:51
  with
• 1:51
  that
• 1:51
  kind
• 1:52
  of
• 1:52
  younger
• 1:52
  population
• 1:53
  of
• 1:53
  farmers.
• 1:54
  Now,
• 1:54
  Joe's
• 1:55
  dad
• 1:55
  has
• 1:55
  been
• 1:56
  poorly
• 1:56
  with
• 1:56
  back
• 1:56
  and
• 1:57
  heart
• 1:57
  problems
• 1:57
  since
• 1:58
  Joe
• 1:58
  was
• 1:58
  15,
• 1:59
  so
• 1:59
  he's
• 1:59
  had
• 2:00
  a
• 2:00
  lot
• 2:00
  of
• 2:00
  extra
• 2:00
  responsibility
• 2:01
  from
• 2:01
  a
• 2:02
  young
• 2:02
  age
• 2:02
  and
• 2:03
  he's
• 2:03
  faced
• 2:04
  a
• 2:04
  few
• 2:04
  other
• 2:04
  difficulties
• 2:05
  and
• 2:05
  obstacles
• 2:05
  along
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  way
• 2:06
  that
• 2:06
  have
• 2:07
  all
• 2:07
  kind
• 2:07
  of
• 2:07
  stacked
• 2:08
  up
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  have
• 2:09
  an
• 2:09
  impact
• 2:09
  on
• 2:09
  his
• 2:09
  mental
• 2:10
  health.
• 2:11
  But
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  key
• 2:11
  thing,
• 2:12
  Sarah,
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  really
• 2:13
  inspiring
• 2:14
  thing,
• 2:14
  is
• 2:15
  that
• 2:15
  Joe's
• 2:15
  had
• 2:16
  brilliant
• 2:16
  support.
• 2:17
  He's
• 2:17
  done
• 2:17
  great
• 2:17
  work
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  get
• 2:19
  out
• 2:19
  of
• 2:19
  those
• 2:19
  difficulties
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  he's
• 2:21
  really
• 2:21
  living
• 2:21
  life
• 2:21
  to
• 2:21
  the
• 2:22
  full.
• 2:22
  He's
• 2:22
  enjoying
• 2:22
  his
• 2:22
  farming,
• 2:23
  he's
• 2:24
  playing
• 2:24
  five
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  side
• 2:25
  football
• 2:25
  with
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  young
• 2:26
  farmers
• 2:26
  and
• 2:27
  he
• 2:27
  says
• 2:28
  he
• 2:28
  really
• 2:29
  wants
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  help
• 2:29
  others
• 2:30
  in
• 2:30
  the
• 2:31
  farming
• 2:31
  community
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  I
• 2:32
  think
• 2:32
  probably
• 2:32
  further
• 2:32
  afield
• 2:33
  as
• 2:33
  well,
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  impact
• 2:33
  he's
• 2:34
  having
• 2:34
  to
• 2:35
  get
• 2:35
  and
• 2:35
  stay
• 2:36
  well
• 2:36
  mentally.
• 2:37
  Oh,
• 2:37
  he
• 2:37
  sounds
• 2:37
  like
• 2:38
  a
• 2:38
  lovely,
• 2:39
  brave
• 2:39
  young
• 2:40
  man.
• 2:40
  And
• 2:40
  we,
• 2:41
  we
• 2:41
  say
• 2:41
  often
• 2:41
  on
• 2:42
  this
• 2:42
  podcast,
• 2:42
  don't
• 2:43
  we
• 2:43
  how
• 2:43
  important
• 2:43
  it
• 2:43
  is
• 2:44
  when
• 2:44
  people
• 2:44
  do
• 2:44
  share
• 2:45
  and
• 2:45
  they
• 2:45
  open
• 2:45
  up.
• 2:45
  It
• 2:45
  just
• 2:46
  helps
• 2:46
  so
• 2:46
  many
• 2:46
  others.

• 3:44
  ways
• 3:44
  that
• 3:44
  people
• 3:44
  dress
• 3:45
  their
• 3:45
  sheep.
• 3:46
  Little
• 3:46
  things
• 3:46
  that
• 3:46
  I
• 3:46
  noticed
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  can
• 3:47
  go
• 3:47
  back
• 3:47
  and
• 3:48
  implement
• 3:48
  and
• 3:49
  try
• 3:49
  out
• 3:49
  and
• 3:50
  figure
• 3:50
  it
• 3:50
  out.
• 3:50
  And
• 3:51
  it's
• 3:51
  just
• 3:51
  something
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  I've
• 3:52
  done
• 3:52
  for
• 3:52
  years,
• 3:53
  like
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  years
• 3:54
  that
• 3:54
  I've
• 3:54
  done
• 3:54
  just
• 3:54
  teaching
• 3:55
  myself.
• 3:56
  And
• 3:56
  if
• 3:56
  I
• 3:57
  want
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  figure
• 3:57
  something
• 3:57
  out,
• 3:58
  I'll
• 3:58
  ask
• 3:58
  somebody
• 3:58
  or
• 3:59
  try
• 4:00
  it
• 4:00
  myself.
• 4:00
  Because
• 4:01
  it's
• 4:01
  you
• 4:01
  that's
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  pedigree

• 4:03
  That's
• 4:03
  not
• 4:04
  been
• 4:04

• 4:04
  your
• 4:04
  family?
• 4:05
  Yeah,

• 4:11
  have
• 4:11
  pedigree
• 4:13
  Belgian

  never
• 4:14
  really
• 4:14
  got
• 4:15

  Belltex.
• 4:21
  And
• 4:21
  yeah,
• 4:22
  it's
• 4:22
  just
• 4:22
  going
• 4:22
  from
• 4:22
  strength
• 4:23
  to
• 4:23
  strength
• 4:24
  all
• 4:24
  takes

  time.
• 4:25
  But

  Something

  quite
• 4:36
  big
• 4:36
  happened
• 4:36
  to
• 4:37
  you

  us
• 4:41
  that
• 4:41
  story
• 4:41
  from
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  beginning,
• 4:41
  if
• 4:42
  you
• 4:42
  don't
• 4:42
  mind.
• 4:42
  So,
• 4:43
  yeah,
• 4:43
  I'll
• 4:44
  tell
• 4:44
  you
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  full
• 4:44
  story.
• 4:45
  We
• 4:46
  started
• 4:46
  off
• 4:46
  coming
• 4:47
  out
• 4:47
  of
• 4:47
  school.
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  was
• 4:48
  always
• 4:48
  into
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  sport.
• 4:49
  I
• 4:50
  never
• 4:50
  really
• 4:50
  was
• 4:50
  into
• 4:50
  the
• 4:51
  farming.
• 4:52
  15
• 4:52
  Covid
• 4:53
  happened
• 4:53
  lots
• 4:53
  going
• 4:54
  on,
• 4:54
  lots
• 4:55
  of
• 4:55
  implications
• 4:56
  were
• 4:56
  happening
• 4:56
  with
• 4:56
  my
• 4:57
  father's
• 4:57
  health.
• 4:58
  So
• 5:00
  I
• 5:00
  was
• 5:00
  sat
• 5:01
  doing
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  schoolwork
• 5:02
  inside
• 5:02
  and
• 5:03
  I
• 5:03
  was
• 5:03
  seeing
• 5:04
  people
• 5:05
  struggling
• 5:05
  on
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  farm
• 5:06
  and
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  was
• 5:06
  like,
• 5:07
  oh,
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  need
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  be
• 5:07
  outside.
• 5:08
  So
• 5:08
  I
• 5:08
  just
• 5:08
  spoke
• 5:08
  to
• 5:08
  my
• 5:09
  teachers
• 5:09
  and
• 5:09
  they
• 5:09
  said,
• 5:09
  well,
• 5:10
  we've
• 5:10
  got
• 5:10
  people
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  are
• 5:11
  just
• 5:12
  not
• 5:12
  doing
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  work
• 5:12
  at
• 5:13
  all.
• 5:14
  So
• 5:14
  you've
• 5:15
  got
• 5:15
  a
• 5:15
  reason
• 5:15
  not
• 5:16
  to
• 5:16
  do
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  work,
• 5:16
  you've
• 5:17
  got
• 5:17
  things
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  you
• 5:17
  want
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  be
• 5:18
  doing
• 5:18
  outside,
• 5:18
  so
• 5:18
  it's
• 5:19
  fine.
• 5:19
  You,
• 5:19
  as
• 5:19
  long
• 5:19
  as
• 5:20
  you
• 5:20
  communicate
• 5:20
  with
• 5:20
  us,
• 5:21
  it's
• 5:21
  fine.
• 5:21
  Go,
• 5:22
  go
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  help.
• 5:23
  So
• 5:23
  I
• 5:23
  went
• 5:23
  outside
• 5:24
  and
• 5:24
  started
• 5:24
  helping.
• 5:25
  Dad
• 5:26
  started
• 5:26
  to
• 5:27
  deteriorate.
• 5:27
  He
• 5:28
  came
• 5:28
  off
• 5:29
  a
• 5:29
  quad
• 5:29
  bike,
• 5:29
  bust
• 5:29
  his
• 5:30
  collarbone.
• 5:30
  Then
• 5:30
  he
• 5:30
  ended
• 5:31
  up
• 5:31
  having
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  heart
• 5:31
  operation.
• 5:32
  Then
• 5:33
  he
• 5:33
  had
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  back
• 5:33
  operation
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  went
• 5:34
  wrong.
• 5:36
  Came
• 5:36
  out
• 5:36
  of
• 5:37
  school,
• 5:37
  went
• 5:38
  onto
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  farm,
• 5:39
  really
• 5:39
  enjoyed
• 5:40
  it,
• 5:40
  took
• 5:41
  on
• 5:41
  quite
• 5:41
  a
• 5:41
  lot.
• 5:41
  We
• 5:41
  had
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  couple
• 5:42
  of
• 5:42
  members,
• 5:42
  staff
• 5:42
  and
• 5:43
  they
• 5:43
  kept
• 5:43
  on
• 5:43
  letting
• 5:43
  us
• 5:44
  down
• 5:44
  and
• 5:45
  it
• 5:45
  was
• 5:45
  me
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  Mum
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  another
• 5:46
  member
• 5:47
  of
• 5:47
  staff
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  a
• 5:47
  few
• 5:47
  friends
• 5:48
  that
• 5:48
  were
• 5:48
  helping
• 5:48
  out
• 5:48
  because
• 5:49
  obviously
• 5:49
  dad
• 5:50
  wasn't,
• 5:50
  wasn't
• 5:51
  able
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  be
• 5:51
  able
• 5:51
  to
• 5:52
  do
• 5:52
  stuff.
• 5:52
  He
• 5:52
  was
• 5:52
  still
• 5:53
  managing,
• 5:53
  which
• 5:53
  is
• 5:53
  really
• 5:54
  good.
• 5:54
  But
• 5:55
  quite
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  lot
• 5:55
  fell
• 5:56
  onto
• 5:56
  my
• 5:56
  shoulders
• 5:57
  and
• 5:57
  we
• 5:57
  kept
• 5:58
  on
• 5:58
  working
• 5:58
  away.
• 5:59
  We
• 5:59
  had
• 6:01
  two
• 6:01
  small
• 6:01
  holdings.
• 6:02
  We
• 6:02
  only
• 6:02
  owned
• 6:03
  30
• 6:03
  acres.
• 6:04
  We'd
• 6:04
  have
• 6:05
  about
• 6:05
  four
• 6:05
  and
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  half
• 6:05
  thousand,
• 6:06
  5,000
• 6:06
  bread
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  breakfast
• 6:07
  pigs.
• 6:08
  We
• 6:08
  had
• 6:08
  200
• 6:09
  cattle
• 6:09
  fattening
• 6:10
  all
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  time
• 6:10
  because
• 6:11
  we
• 6:11
  supplied
• 6:11
  six
• 6:12
  local
• 6:12
  butchers,
• 6:13
  which
• 6:13
  we
• 6:14
  really
• 6:14
  enjoyed.
• 6:14
  It's
• 6:15
  really,
• 6:15
  really
• 6:15
  nice
• 6:16
  having
• 6:16
  your
• 6:16
  own
• 6:16
  style
• 6:17
  stuff,
• 6:17
  come
• 6:17
  back
• 6:17
  through
• 6:17
  through
• 6:18
  the
• 6:18
  butchers
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  being
• 6:18
  able
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  say
• 6:19
  when
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  go
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  pub
• 6:20
  or
• 6:20
  that's
• 6:20
  our
• 6:21
  bit
• 6:21
  of
• 6:21
  steak
• 6:21
  or
• 6:22
  something
• 6:22
  like
• 6:22
  that,
• 6:22
  it's
• 6:22
  really,
• 6:23
  really
• 6:23
  nice.
• 6:23
  We
• 6:24
  also
• 6:24
  had
• 6:25
  400
• 6:26
  breeding
• 6:26
  y
• 6:26
  Suffolk
• 6:27
  Crosses.
• 6:27
  Mainly
• 6:28
  we
• 6:28
  would
• 6:28
  lamb
• 6:28
  in
• 6:29
  December
• 6:29
  and
• 6:30
  March,
• 6:30
  so
• 6:31
  we
• 6:31
  had
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  constant
• 6:32
  flow
• 6:32
  of
• 6:32
  lambs
• 6:32
  for
• 6:32
  the
• 6:33
  butchers
• 6:33
  as
• 6:33
  well.
• 6:34
  And
• 6:34
  we
• 6:34
  had
• 6:34
  about
• 6:35
  50
• 6:35
  suckler
• 6:36
  cows
• 6:36
  as
• 6:36
  well.
• 6:36
  So
• 6:37
  we
• 6:37
  had
• 6:37
  our
• 6:37
  calves
• 6:37
  to
• 6:37
  come
• 6:38
  through.
• 6:38
  We
• 6:38
  also
• 6:39
  had
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  small
• 6:39
  contracting
• 6:40
  business,
• 6:40
  so
• 6:40
  we
• 6:40
  bailed
• 6:40
  all
• 6:41
  our
• 6:41
  own
• 6:41
  straw
• 6:41
  as
• 6:41
  well.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  you
• 6:42
  were
• 6:42
  15
• 6:42
  when
• 6:43
  you
• 6:43
  were.
• 6:44
  Taking
• 6:44
  on
• 6:44
  this
• 6:44
  responsibility.
• 6:46
  Got
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  17
• 6:46
  and
• 6:47
  you're
• 6:47
  obviously
• 6:47
  trying
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  be
• 6:48
  a
• 6:48
  youngster,
• 6:49
  go
• 6:49
  out
• 6:49
  and
• 6:50
  play
• 6:50
  your
• 6:50
  sport.
• 6:51
  But
• 6:52
  then
• 6:53
  you
• 6:53
  would
• 6:53
  come
• 6:53
  home
• 6:53
  and
• 6:54
  you'd
• 6:55
  be
• 6:55
  tired
• 6:56
  and
• 6:56
  you
• 6:57
  get
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  18,
• 6:58
  you
• 6:58
  go
• 6:58
  out
• 6:58
  for
• 6:58
  a
• 6:59
  drink,
• 6:59
  you
• 6:59
  get
• 6:59
  home
• 7:00
  late,
• 7:00
  you'd
• 7:01
  be
• 7:01
  tired
• 7:01
  and
• 7:01
  then
• 7:01
  it's
• 7:02
  just
• 7:02
  not
• 7:02
  worth
• 7:02
  going
• 7:02
  out,
• 7:02
  it's
• 7:03
  not
• 7:03
  worth
• 7:03
  having
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  drink.
• 7:04
  Yeah,
• 7:04
  it
• 7:04
  just
• 7:04
  started
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  build
• 7:05
  up
• 7:05
  and
• 7:05
  get
• 7:05
  on
• 7:06
  top
• 7:06
  of
• 7:06
  me,
• 7:06
  got
• 7:06
  on
• 7:06
  top
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  Mum
• 7:08
  and
• 7:08
  got
• 7:08
  on
• 7:08
  top
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  the
• 7:09
  whole
• 7:09
  family.
• 7:11
  Something
• 7:11
  wasn't
• 7:11
  Quite
• 7:12
  right.
• 7:12
  Something
• 7:12
  really
• 7:12
  needed
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13
  change
• 7:13
  and
• 7:13
  we
• 7:13
  discussed
• 7:14
  it
• 7:14
  and
• 7:16
  we.
• 7:17
  One
• 7:17
  day
• 7:17
  I
• 7:17
  saw
• 7:18
  a
• 7:18
  farm
• 7:18
  in
• 7:19
  Selkirk
• 7:19
  on
• 7:20
  my
• 7:20
  phone.
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  said
• 7:20
  to
• 7:20
  dad,
• 7:20
  oh,
• 7:21
  have
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  seen
• 7:21
  this?
• 7:22
  And
• 7:23
  dad
• 7:23
  said,
• 7:23
  yeah,
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  did,
• 7:24
  but
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  didn't
• 7:24
  think
• 7:24
  he'd
• 7:25
  want
• 7:25
  to
• 7:25
  look
• 7:25
  at
• 7:25
  it.
• 7:26
  Anyway,
• 7:26
  that
• 7:26
  started
• 7:26
  our
• 7:27
  journey
• 7:27
  off
• 7:27
  to
• 7:27
  go
• 7:27
  to
• 7:28
  Scotland.
• 7:29
  So
• 7:29
  what
• 7:29
  was
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  rationale,
• 7:30
  then?
• 7:30
  The.
• 7:31
  The
• 7:31
  farm
• 7:31
  was
• 7:31
  in
• 7:31
  Scotland.
• 7:32
  The
• 7:32
  plan
• 7:33
  was
• 7:33
  to
• 7:33
  move.
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  didn't
• 7:34
  realize
• 7:34
  it
• 7:34
  was
• 7:34
  Selkirk.
• 7:34
  I
• 7:35
  thought
• 7:35
  you
• 7:35
  were
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  Lanarkshire.
• 7:35
  We
• 7:35
  are
• 7:35
  in
• 7:36
  Lanarkshire.
• 7:36
  That
• 7:36
  was
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  first
• 7:37
  farm
• 7:37
  that
• 7:37
  we
• 7:37
  saw.
• 7:37
  We
• 7:37
  went
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  tended
• 7:38
  for,
• 7:38
  but
• 7:39
  we
• 7:39
  didn't
• 7:39
  get
• 7:39
  it.
• 7:40
  And
• 7:40
  then
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  started
• 7:41
  our
• 7:41
  journey.
• 7:41
  We
• 7:42
  were
• 7:42
  probably.
• 7:42
  We
• 7:43
  were
• 7:43
  about
• 7:43
  a
• 7:43
  year
• 7:43
  looking
• 7:43
  and
• 7:44
  before
• 7:44
  we
• 7:44
  got
• 7:44
  a
• 7:44
  farm.
• 7:45
  But
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  had
• 7:46
  made
• 7:46
  your
• 7:46
  mind
• 7:46
  up
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  make
• 7:47
  that
• 7:47
  change
• 7:48
  and
• 7:48
  make
• 7:48
  that
• 7:48
  move.
• 7:48
  Yeah,
• 7:49
  we
• 7:49
  fell
• 7:49
  in
• 7:49
  love
• 7:49
  with
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  farm
• 7:50
  in
• 7:50
  Selkirk
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  we
• 7:50
  were
• 7:50
  like,
• 7:51
  yeah,
• 7:51
  this
• 7:51
  is
• 7:51
  what
• 7:51
  we're
• 7:51
  doing
• 7:51
  now.
• 7:52
  Our
• 7:52
  family's
• 7:53
  thinking
• 7:53
  was,
• 7:53
  for
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  Future,
• 7:54
  you've
• 7:55
  got
• 7:55
  250
• 7:55
  acres
• 7:56
  of
• 7:56
  your
• 7:56
  own
• 7:57
  ground.
• 7:57
  We've
• 7:57
  got
• 7:57
  400
• 7:58
  acres
• 7:58
  that's
• 7:58
  rented
• 7:59
  on
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  hill
• 7:59
  around
• 8:00
  us,
• 8:00
  but
• 8:01
  it's
• 8:01
  all
• 8:01
  there.
• 8:02
  Like
• 8:02
  in
• 8:03
  Yorkshire,
• 8:03
  we're
• 8:03
  doing
• 8:03
  40
• 8:04
  mile
• 8:04
  radius.
• 8:05
  We
• 8:05
  had
• 8:05
  bits
• 8:06
  rented
• 8:06
  all
• 8:06
  over
• 8:06
  the
• 8:07
  spot,
• 8:07
  which
• 8:08
  again,
• 8:08
  added
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  your
• 8:09
  workload,
• 8:09
  because
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  get
• 8:10
  anywhere,
• 8:10
  you
• 8:11
  half
• 8:11
  an
• 8:11
  hour
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  get
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  just
• 8:12
  check
• 8:12
  your
• 8:13
  stock
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  when
• 8:14
  you
• 8:14
  had
• 8:14
  everything
• 8:14
  else
• 8:14
  to
• 8:15
  do,
• 8:15
  it
• 8:15
  just
• 8:15
  wasn't
• 8:16
  working.
• 8:17
  So
• 8:17
  obviously
• 8:18
  everything
• 8:18
  in
• 8:18
  a
• 8:18
  ring
• 8:19
  fence
• 8:19
  and
• 8:19
  then
• 8:19
  we
• 8:19
  actually
• 8:20
  owned
• 8:20
  it.
• 8:20
  We
• 8:20
  weren't
• 8:20
  dealing
• 8:21
  with
• 8:21
  landlords
• 8:21
  as
• 8:22
  well.
• 8:22
  30
• 8:23
  acres
• 8:23
  to
• 8:23
  250
• 8:24
  is
• 8:24
  a
• 8:24
  remarkable
• 8:25
  thing
• 8:25
  to
• 8:25
  do,
• 8:25
  especially
• 8:26
  with
• 8:26
  dad
• 8:26
  being
• 8:26
  first
• 8:27
  generation.
• 8:27
  I
• 8:27
  think
• 8:27
  I'm
• 8:28
  so
• 8:28
  proud
• 8:28
  of
• 8:28
  him
• 8:28
  to
• 8:29
  be
• 8:29
  able
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  say
• 8:29
  that
• 8:30
  he's
• 8:30
  done
• 8:30
  that.
• 8:30
  And
• 8:31
  it's
• 8:31
  just
• 8:31
  such
• 8:31
  a
• 8:31
  shame
• 8:32
  that
• 8:32
  he
• 8:32
  can't
• 8:32
  go
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  enjoy
• 8:33
  that
• 8:33
  as
• 8:33
  well.
• 8:33
  He's
• 8:33
  enjoying
• 8:34
  it
• 8:34
  through
• 8:34
  me
• 8:34
  and
• 8:34
  my
• 8:34
  little
• 8:35
  brother
• 8:35
  now,
• 8:35
  because
• 8:36
  he
• 8:36
  can't
• 8:36
  go
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  do
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  work
• 8:37
  and
• 8:37
  graft
• 8:38
  it.
• 8:38
  So
• 8:38
  that's.
• 8:39
  That's
• 8:40
  another
• 8:40
  thing.
• 8:41
  Scotland
• 8:41
  seems
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  support
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  young
• 8:44
  farmers
• 8:44
  a
• 8:44
  little
• 8:44
  bit
• 8:45
  more
• 8:45
  as
• 8:45
  well.
• 8:45
  That
• 8:46
  was
• 8:46
  kind
• 8:46
  of
• 8:46
  our
• 8:46
  thinking
• 8:47
  as
• 8:47
  well.
• 8:47
  Obviously,
• 8:47
  you
• 8:47
  still
• 8:48
  get
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  single
• 8:48
  farm
• 8:48
  payment
• 8:49
  up
• 8:49
  in
• 8:49
  Scotland
• 8:49
  and
• 8:50
  again,
• 8:51
  land's
• 8:52
  half
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  price.
• 8:53
  Well,
• 8:53
  we
• 8:53
  sold
• 8:53
  our
• 8:54
  land
• 8:54
  for,
• 8:54
  I
• 8:54
  don't
• 8:55
  know,
• 8:55
  15,
• 8:55
  16,000
• 8:56
  an
• 8:56
  acre
• 8:58
  up
• 8:58
  in
• 8:58
  Scotland,
• 8:59
  it's
• 8:59
  about
• 8:59
  six.
• 8:59
  So
• 9:01
  that's
• 9:01
  all.
• 9:02
  Everything
• 9:02
  that
• 9:02
  added
• 9:03
  up
• 9:03
  for
• 9:03
  us,
• 9:03
  it
• 9:04
  just
• 9:04
  made
• 9:04
  sense.
• 9:05
  For
• 9:05
  all
• 9:05
  sorts
• 9:05
  of
• 9:05
  reasons,
• 9:06
  it
• 9:06
  made
• 9:06
  sense.
• 9:07
  So
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  thing
• 9:08
  we're
• 9:08
  building
• 9:09
  up
• 9:09
  to
• 9:09
  is
• 9:10
  hearing
• 9:10
  about
• 9:10
  the
• 9:11
  fact
• 9:11
  that
• 9:11
  you
• 9:11
  had
• 9:12
  something
• 9:12
  of
• 9:12
  a
• 9:13
  mental
• 9:13
  health
• 9:13
  crisis.
• 9:14
  Certainly
• 9:14
  a
• 9:15
  Mental
• 9:15
  health,
• 9:15
  major
• 9:16
  wobble,
• 9:16
  we'll
• 9:16
  call
• 9:17
  it
• 9:17
  that.
• 9:17
  And
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  think
• 9:17
  it's
• 9:18
  worth
• 9:18
  just
• 9:18
  sort
• 9:18
  of
• 9:18
  drawing
• 9:19
  out
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  sorts
• 9:20
  of
• 9:21
  things
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  lead
• 9:21
  to
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  sort
• 9:22
  of
• 9:22
  thing
• 9:22
  happening
• 9:23
  in
• 9:23
  somebody's
• 9:24
  mind.
• 9:24
  And
• 9:24
  what
• 9:24
  it
• 9:25
  sounds
• 9:25
  like
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  me
• 9:25
  is
• 9:26
  it
• 9:26
  was
• 9:26
  just
• 9:26
  pressure
• 9:27
  upon
• 9:27
  pressure
• 9:27
  upon
• 9:28
  pressure,
• 9:29
  worry.
• 9:30
  I've
• 9:30
  done
• 9:31
  a
• 9:31
  bit
• 9:31
  of
• 9:31
  work
• 9:31
  in
• 9:31
  the
• 9:31
  past
• 9:31
  with
• 9:32
  young
• 9:32
  carers.
• 9:33
  So
• 9:35
  without
• 9:35
  putting
• 9:35
  too
• 9:36
  fine
• 9:36
  a
• 9:36
  point
• 9:36
  on
• 9:36
  it,
• 9:36
  Joe,
• 9:37
  you
• 9:37
  became
• 9:37
  a
• 9:37
  young
• 9:37
  carer
• 9:38
  and
• 9:38
  you
• 9:39
  took
• 9:39
  on
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  responsibilities
• 9:40
  of
• 9:40
  running
• 9:40
  the
• 9:41
  farm.
• 9:41
  Yeah,
• 9:42
  yeah.
• 9:43
  It's
• 9:43
  no
• 9:43
  surprise
• 9:43
  to
• 9:44
  me
• 9:44
  that
• 9:44
  that
• 9:45
  was
• 9:45
  quite
• 9:45
  difficult.
• 9:45
  Oh,
• 9:46
  yeah.
• 9:46
  But
• 9:47
  you
• 9:47
  just
• 9:48
  gotta.
• 9:48
  You
• 9:48
  gotta
• 9:48
  keep
• 9:48
  going.
• 9:49
  And
• 9:49
  I
• 9:49
  think
• 9:49
  that's
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  thing
• 9:49
  in
• 9:50
  agriculture.
• 9:50
  You
• 9:50
  just
• 9:50
  say,
• 9:50
  oh,
• 9:51
  I'm
• 9:51
  fine,
• 9:51
  I'll
• 9:51
  be
• 9:51
  right,
• 9:51
  and
• 9:52
  you
• 9:52
  just
• 9:52
  carry
• 9:52
  on.
• 9:52
  But
• 9:53
  it
• 9:53
  got
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  a
• 9:54
  point
• 9:54
  where
• 9:55
  we
• 9:55
  couldn't
• 9:55
  have
• 9:56
  carried
• 9:56
  on
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  way
• 9:56
  it
• 9:56
  was.
• 9:58
  Number
• 9:59
  of
• 9:59
  times
• 9:59
  that
• 9:59
  I
• 10:00
  came
• 10:01
  back
• 10:01
  home
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  I
• 10:01
  said,
• 10:02
  we
• 10:02
  need
• 10:02
  to
• 10:02
  do
• 10:03
  something.
• 10:03
  Please
• 10:03
  can
• 10:03
  we
• 10:03
  do
• 10:04
  something?
• 10:04
  And
• 10:04
  that
• 10:05
  led
• 10:05
  us
• 10:05
  to
• 10:05
  me
• 10:06
  going
• 10:06
  to
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  doctors.
• 10:07
  And
• 10:07
  I
• 10:08
  was
• 10:08
  so
• 10:08
  against
• 10:08
  it.
• 10:08
  I
• 10:08
  didn't
• 10:09
  want
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  go
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  the
• 10:09
  doctors.
• 10:09
  I
• 10:09
  said,
• 10:10
  no,
• 10:10
  there's
• 10:10
  nothing
• 10:10
  wrong
• 10:10
  with
• 10:10
  me.
• 10:11
  Went
• 10:11
  and
• 10:11
  spoke
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  the
• 10:12
  doctor
• 10:12
  and
• 10:13
  I
• 10:13
  got
• 10:13
  my
• 10:13
  dad
• 10:14
  and
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  girlfriend
• 10:14
  at
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  time
• 10:15
  left
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  room
• 10:16
  and
• 10:16
  spoke
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  the
• 10:17
  doctor
• 10:17
  and
• 10:17
  he
• 10:17
  just
• 10:18
  said,
• 10:18
  it's
• 10:19
  not
• 10:19
  depression,
• 10:19
  it's
• 10:20
  just
• 10:20
  pure
• 10:20
  pressure.
• 10:21
  Write
• 10:22
  a
• 10:22
  letter.
• 10:22
  And
• 10:23
  that's
• 10:23
  something
• 10:23
  that
• 10:23
  I
• 10:23
  would
• 10:24
  say.
• 10:24
  If
• 10:24
  you're
• 10:25
  struggling
• 10:25
  and
• 10:26
  there's
• 10:27
  something
• 10:27
  going
• 10:27
  on
• 10:28
  between
• 10:29
  family
• 10:29
  members
• 10:29
  and
• 10:30
  you're
• 10:30
  finding
• 10:30
  it
• 10:30
  hard
• 10:31
  to
• 10:31
  verbally
• 10:31
  get
• 10:32
  it
• 10:32
  out,
• 10:33
  write
• 10:33
  it
• 10:33
  down.
• 10:34
  Even
• 10:34
  if
• 10:34
  you
• 10:34
  don't
• 10:34
  give
• 10:34
  it
• 10:35
  to
• 10:35
  them,
• 10:35
  it
• 10:35
  gets
• 10:35
  it
• 10:36
  on
• 10:36
  paper
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  then
• 10:37
  it
• 10:37
  gets
• 10:37
  you
• 10:37
  moving
• 10:38
  forward.
• 10:39
  You're
• 10:39
  not
• 10:39
  stuck.
• 10:39
  It's
• 10:40
  the
• 10:40
  first
• 10:40
  step.
• 10:40
  It's
• 10:41
  that
• 10:41
  first
• 10:41
  little
• 10:41
  step
• 10:42
  that
• 10:42
  was
• 10:42
  like
• 10:42
  the
• 10:42
  first
• 10:43
  time.
• 10:43
  And
• 10:43
  then
• 10:43
  that's
• 10:43
  why
• 10:43
  we
• 10:44
  got
• 10:44
  to
• 10:44
  start
• 10:44
  moving
• 10:44
  to
• 10:44
  Scotland.
• 10:45
  And
• 10:45
  then
• 10:47
  we
• 10:47
  got
• 10:47
  moved
• 10:48
  up
• 10:48
  and
• 10:48
  then
• 10:49
  we
• 10:49
  had
• 10:49
  the
• 10:49
  carry
• 10:50
  on
• 10:50
  with
• 10:50
  the
• 10:50
  lambing,
• 10:51
  which
• 10:52
  was
• 10:53
  really
• 10:53
  like
• 10:53
  rock
• 10:53
  bottom.
• 10:54
  It
• 10:54
  was
• 10:54
  awful.
• 10:54
  It
• 10:55
  really
• 10:55
  was.
• 10:55
  You've
• 11:56
  moved
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  Scotland,
• 11:57
  you're
• 11:58
  looking
• 11:58
  for
• 11:58
  a
• 11:58
  fresh
• 11:58
  start.
• 11:59
  You're
• 11:59
  looking
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  draw
• 11:59
  a
• 11:59
  line
• 12:00
  under
• 12:00
  troubles.
• 12:02
  What
• 12:02
  happens
• 12:02
  next
• 12:02
  with
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  lambing?
• 12:04
  So
• 12:05
  we
• 12:05
  sold
• 12:05
  up
• 12:05
  because
• 12:06
  we
• 12:06
  were
• 12:06
  buying
• 12:06
  a
• 12:06
  dairy
• 12:07
  farm
• 12:08
  in
• 12:08
  the
• 12:08
  back
• 12:08
  end
• 12:09
  of
• 12:09
  2024,
• 12:10
  I
• 12:10
  think
• 12:10
  it
• 12:11
  was
• 12:11
  a
• 12:11
  dairy
• 12:11
  farm
• 12:11
  that
• 12:11
  we're
• 12:12
  looking
• 12:12
  to
• 12:12
  buy.
• 12:12
  So
• 12:12
  we
• 12:12
  sold
• 12:12
  our
• 12:13
  livestock
• 12:13
  from
• 12:13
  Yorkshire
• 12:14
  and
• 12:14
  we
• 12:16
  obviously
• 12:16
  sold
• 12:17
  the
• 12:17
  livestock.
• 12:17
  That
• 12:17
  livestock
• 12:18
  money
• 12:18
  was
• 12:18
  going
• 12:18
  to
• 12:18
  go
• 12:18
  into
• 12:18
  the
• 12:18
  dairy
• 12:19
  cows,
• 12:19
  but
• 12:20
  that
• 12:21
  didn't
• 12:21
  quite
• 12:21
  work.
• 12:21
  That
• 12:22
  all
• 12:22
  fell
• 12:22
  through.
• 12:23
  So
• 12:23
  we
• 12:23
  started
• 12:23
  investing
• 12:24
  more
• 12:24
  into
• 12:24
  the
• 12:24
  pedigrees
• 12:25
  because
• 12:25
  obviously
• 12:26
  thinking
• 12:26
  about
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  future.
• 12:27
  Mum
• 12:27
  and
• 12:27
  dad
• 12:27
  were
• 12:27
  very
• 12:28
  supportive
• 12:28
  of
• 12:28
  me.
• 12:28
  Put
• 12:29
  the
• 12:29
  monies
• 12:29
  into
• 12:29
  pedigrees
• 12:30
  because
• 12:30
  that's
• 12:30
  what
• 12:30
  I'm
• 12:30
  going
• 12:31
  to
• 12:31
  go
• 12:31
  on
• 12:31
  and
• 12:31
  hopefully
• 12:32
  do
• 12:33
  some
• 12:33
  good
• 12:33
  with.
• 12:34
  So
• 12:35
  we
• 12:36
  put
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  monies
• 12:36
  into
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  pedigrees
• 12:37
  and
• 12:37
  we're
• 12:37
  all
• 12:38
  raring
• 12:38
  to
• 12:38
  go.
• 12:39
  Looking
• 12:39
  forward
• 12:39
  to
• 12:40
  it.
• 12:40
  Moved
• 12:40
  the
• 12:41
  sheep
• 12:41
  up,
• 12:41
  got
• 12:42
  to
• 12:42
  lamb
• 12:42
  in
• 12:42
  time.
• 12:43
  And
• 12:44
  I
• 12:45
  won't
• 12:45
  go
• 12:45
  too
• 12:45
  much
• 12:45
  into
• 12:46
  detail
• 12:46
  because
• 12:46
  it's
• 12:47
  still
• 12:47
  with
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  solicitors
• 12:48
  and
• 12:48
  stuff
• 12:48
  like
• 12:49
  that,
• 12:49
  but
• 12:50
  we
• 12:50
  bought
• 12:50
  some
• 12:50
  feed.
• 12:51
  We
• 12:52
  got
• 12:52
  three
• 12:52
  weeks
• 12:52
  into
• 12:52
  lamb
• 12:53
  and
• 12:53
  something
• 12:53
  wasn't
• 12:53
  quite
• 12:53
  right
• 12:54
  and
• 12:55
  then
• 12:55
  we
• 12:55
  just
• 12:55
  kept
• 12:55
  on
• 12:56
  losing
• 12:56
  lambs
• 12:57
  and
• 12:57
  we
• 12:57
  started
• 12:58
  looking
• 12:58
  for
• 12:58
  things
• 12:59
  to,
• 12:59
  like,
• 12:59
  find
• 13:00
  out
• 13:00
  what
• 13:00
  the
• 13:00
  problem
• 13:00
  was.
• 13:01
  And
• 13:01
  we
• 13:02
  were
• 13:02
  starting
• 13:02
  blaming
• 13:03
  each
• 13:03
  other.
• 13:03
  Like
• 13:04
  me
• 13:04
  and
• 13:04
  Mum
• 13:04
  were
• 13:04
  in
• 13:04
  the
• 13:04
  lambing
• 13:05
  shed,
• 13:05
  we
• 13:05
  were
• 13:05
  blaming
• 13:05
  each
• 13:05
  other
• 13:06
  and
• 13:07
  it
• 13:07
  wasn't
• 13:07
  a
• 13:07
  nice
• 13:08
  environment.
• 13:08
  Anyway,
• 13:09
  dad
• 13:09
  just
• 13:09
  came
• 13:09
  in
• 13:10
  and
• 13:10
  said,
• 13:10
  we've
• 13:10
  tried
• 13:11
  everything,
• 13:11
  we
• 13:11
  tried.
• 13:13
  How
• 13:13
  about
• 13:14
  we
• 13:15
  swap
• 13:16
  the
• 13:16
  feed?
• 13:16
  So
• 13:16
  we
• 13:16
  swapped
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  feed
• 13:17
  and
• 13:17
  within
• 13:18
  two
• 13:18
  weeks
• 13:19
  you
• 13:19
  could
• 13:19
  see
• 13:20
  the
• 13:20
  difference.
• 13:20
  Within
• 13:20
  the,
• 13:21
  like,
• 13:21
  the
• 13:21
  end
• 13:21
  of
• 13:21
  January
• 13:22
  lambs
• 13:22
  and
• 13:22
  the
• 13:22
  February
• 13:22
  lambs,
• 13:23
  there
• 13:23
  was
• 13:23
  a
• 13:23
  massive
• 13:23
  difference.
• 13:24
  But
• 13:24
  in
• 13:25
  that
• 13:25
  process,
• 13:25
  we
• 13:25
  lost
• 13:26
  70
• 13:26
  pedigree
• 13:27
  lambs
• 13:27
  and
• 13:27
  we
• 13:27
  scanned
• 13:27
  at
• 13:27
  170%.
• 13:29
  Like
• 13:29
  there
• 13:29
  was
• 13:30
  100
• 13:30
  out
• 13:30
  of.
• 13:31
  Because
• 13:31
  there's
• 13:31
  100
• 13:31
  yows.
• 13:32
  We
• 13:32
  lost
• 13:33
  70
• 13:33
  lambs
• 13:33
  out
• 13:34
  of
• 13:34
  170,
• 13:34
  which,
• 13:35
  like
• 13:36
  you
• 13:36
  said,
• 13:36
  we
• 13:37
  were
• 13:37
  coming
• 13:37
  up
• 13:37
  to
• 13:37
  make
• 13:37
  an
• 13:38
  impression.
• 13:38
  We
• 13:39
  didn't
• 13:39
  want
• 13:39
  to
• 13:39
  go
• 13:39
  and
• 13:40
  complain
• 13:41
  about
• 13:41
  the
• 13:41
  food
• 13:41
  because
• 13:42
  this
• 13:42
  Yorkshireman's
• 13:43
  just
• 13:43
  come
• 13:43
  up
• 13:43
  and
• 13:43
  his
• 13:43
  food's
• 13:44
  not
• 13:44
  right
• 13:44
  and
• 13:46
  it
• 13:46
  was
• 13:46
  just
• 13:46
  a
• 13:46
  sticky
• 13:47
  position.
• 13:47
  We
• 13:48
  didn't
• 13:48
  have
• 13:48
  that
• 13:48
  support
• 13:48
  because
• 13:49
  we
• 13:49
  were
• 13:49
  used
• 13:49
  to,
• 13:49
  like,
• 13:50
  Mum
• 13:50
  and
• 13:50
  Dad's
• 13:50
  build
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  business
• 13:51
  down
• 13:51
  in
• 13:52
  Yorkshire.
• 13:52
  30
• 13:52
  years
• 13:52
  of
• 13:53
  support,
• 13:53
  knew
• 13:53
  who
• 13:53
  to
• 13:54
  go
• 13:54
  to.
• 13:54
  We
• 13:55
  come
• 13:55
  up
• 13:55
  to
• 13:55
  Scotland,
• 13:56
  where
• 13:57
  the
• 13:57
  hell
• 13:57
  do
• 13:57
  we
• 13:57
  go?
• 13:58
  I
• 13:58
  don't
• 13:58
  want
• 13:58
  to
• 13:58
  ring
• 13:58
  my
• 13:59
  mates
• 13:59
  up
• 13:59
  back
• 13:59
  down
• 13:59
  in
• 14:00
  Yorkshire
• 14:01
  or
• 14:02
  this
• 14:02
  Scotland
• 14:02
  job
• 14:03
  or
• 14:03
  we're
• 14:03
  having
• 14:03
  a
• 14:03
  shitlaming
• 14:04
  and
• 14:04
  this
• 14:04
  is
• 14:04
  bad
• 14:04
  and
• 14:04
  this
• 14:05
  is
• 14:05
  bad
• 14:05
  and
• 14:05
  this
• 14:05
  is
• 14:05
  bad
• 14:06
  and
• 14:06
  then
• 14:07
  you
• 14:07
  want
• 14:07
  to
• 14:07
  meet.
• 14:08
  Meet
• 14:08
  people
• 14:09
  and
• 14:09
  have
• 14:09
  a
• 14:09
  good
• 14:09
  impression,
• 14:10
  but
• 14:10
  then
• 14:11
  you
• 14:11
  don't
• 14:11
  want
• 14:11
  to
• 14:11
  go
• 14:11
  to
• 14:12
  somebody
• 14:12
  you've
• 14:12
  just
• 14:12
  met
• 14:13
  that
• 14:13
  you
• 14:13
  don't
• 14:14
  really
• 14:14
  know,
• 14:14
  but
• 14:14
  you
• 14:14
  call
• 14:14
  in
• 14:14
  a
• 14:15
  friend
• 14:15
  at
• 14:15
  the
• 14:15
  Young
• 14:15
  Farmers
• 14:15
  or
• 14:16
  anything
• 14:16
  and
• 14:17
  put
• 14:17
  all
• 14:17
  your
• 14:17
  problems
• 14:18
  on
• 14:18
  them
• 14:18
  as
• 14:18
  well.
• 14:19
  So
• 14:19
  we
• 14:19
  were
• 14:19
  really
• 14:19
  stuck
• 14:20
  and
• 14:20
  we
• 14:20
  were
• 14:20
  just
• 14:20
  bashing
• 14:21
  our
• 14:21
  heads
• 14:21
  against
• 14:21
  each
• 14:22
  other
• 14:22
  at
• 14:22
  home
• 14:23
  trying
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  figure
• 14:24
  this
• 14:24
  problem
• 14:24
  out
• 14:24
  and
• 14:26
  it
• 14:26
  just
• 14:26
  got
• 14:26
  to.
• 14:27
  It
• 14:28
  really
• 14:28
  got
• 14:28
  to
• 14:28
  me.
• 14:28
  And
• 14:30
  I
• 14:30
  ended
• 14:31
  up
• 14:31
  sitting
• 14:31
  on
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  quad
• 14:32
  bike.
• 14:32
  I'll
• 14:32
  never
• 14:32
  forget
• 14:33
  I
• 14:33
  was
• 14:33
  sitting
• 14:33
  on
• 14:33
  the
• 14:33
  quad
• 14:34
  bike.
• 14:34
  I
• 14:34
  just
• 14:34
  didn't
• 14:35
  Want
• 14:35
  to
• 14:35
  be
• 14:35
  here
• 14:35
  anymore.
• 14:36
  And
• 14:38
  a
• 14:38
  couple
• 14:38
  of
• 14:38
  days
• 14:38
  went
• 14:39
  by
• 14:39
  and
• 14:39
  I
• 14:39
  said,
• 14:39
  I
• 14:40
  can't
• 14:40
  live
• 14:40
  with
• 14:40
  this
• 14:40
  voice
• 14:41
  in
• 14:41
  my
• 14:41
  head.
• 14:41
  There
• 14:41
  was
• 14:41
  this
• 14:42
  voice
• 14:42
  in
• 14:42
  my
• 14:42
  head,
• 14:42
  it
• 14:42
  was
• 14:42
  awful.
• 14:43
  And
• 14:43
  I
• 14:44
  ended
• 14:44
  up
• 14:44
  ringing
• 14:45
  a
• 14:45
  local
• 14:45
  counsellor
• 14:46
  and
• 14:47
  I
• 14:47
  took
• 14:47
  myself
• 14:47
  to
• 14:47
  counselling.
• 14:48
  I
• 14:48
  said
• 14:48
  to
• 14:48
  Mum,
• 14:48
  dad,
• 14:49
  I
• 14:49
  really
• 14:49
  just
• 14:49
  need
• 14:49
  that
• 14:50
  time
• 14:50
  on
• 14:50
  a
• 14:50
  Monday.
• 14:51
  And
• 14:51
  after
• 14:52
  a
• 14:52
  bit
• 14:52
  of
• 14:52
  discussion
• 14:53
  and
• 14:53
  went
• 14:54
  to
• 14:54
  counselling.
• 14:54
  That
• 14:54
  really
• 14:55
  helped.
• 14:55
  And
• 14:55
  if
• 14:56
  by
• 14:56
  magic,
• 14:57
  I
• 14:57
  came
• 14:57
  across
• 14:57
  something
• 14:58
  on
• 14:59
  my
• 14:59
  phone,
• 15:00
  a
• 15:00
  mindset
• 15:00
  course
• 15:01
  all
• 15:01
  about
• 15:01
  your
• 15:01
  subconscious
• 15:02
  and
• 15:02
  all,
• 15:03
  all
• 15:03
  about
• 15:03
  your
• 15:03
  inner
• 15:04
  voice
• 15:04
  and
• 15:05
  it
• 15:05
  was
• 15:05
  awesome.
• 15:05
  It's
• 15:06
  changed
• 15:06
  my
• 15:06
  life.
• 15:06
  And
• 15:07
  that's,
• 15:08
  that's
• 15:09
  basically
• 15:09
  the
• 15:09
  story.
• 15:10
  And
• 15:10
  since
• 15:10
  that
• 15:12
  had
• 15:12
  the
• 15:12
  summer,
• 15:13
  really
• 15:13
  enjoyed
• 15:13
  it,
• 15:13
  got
• 15:13
  to
• 15:14
  know
• 15:14
  people
• 15:14
  in
• 15:14
  Scotland
• 15:15
  and
• 15:16
  then
• 15:16
  got
• 15:17
  to
• 15:17
  my
• 15:18
  21st.
• 15:18
  And
• 15:19
  after
• 15:19
  all
• 15:19
  that,
• 15:20
  after
• 15:20
  all
• 15:21
  that,
• 15:22
  my
• 15:22
  biggest
• 15:23
  thing
• 15:23
  is
• 15:24
  that
• 15:24
  we
• 15:24
  must
• 15:24
  celebrate
• 15:25
  life.
• 15:26
  I'd
• 15:26
  rather
• 15:26
  be
• 15:27
  there
• 15:27
  at
• 15:27
  my
• 15:28
  mate's
• 15:29
  birthday
• 15:30
  party
• 15:31
  than
• 15:32
  my
• 15:32
  mate's
• 15:33
  funeral.
• 15:34
  Much
• 15:34
  rather.
• 15:35
  I'd
• 15:35
  rather
• 15:35
  be
• 15:36
  there,
• 15:37
  shoulder
• 15:37
  to
• 15:37
  cry
• 15:38
  on,
• 15:38
  person
• 15:39
  to
• 15:39
  hug,
• 15:40
  somebody
• 15:40
  to
• 15:40
  say
• 15:40
  hello,
• 15:41
  big
• 15:41
  smile
• 15:42
  than
• 15:42
  them
• 15:42
  not
• 15:43
  being
• 15:43
  there
• 15:43
  at
• 15:43
  all
• 15:45
  because
• 15:45
  I've
• 15:45
  got
• 15:46
  friends,
• 15:46
  I've
• 15:46
  had
• 15:46
  family
• 15:48
  to
• 15:48
  commit
• 15:48
  suicide.
• 15:49
  It's
• 15:49
  not
• 15:49
  what
• 15:49
  we
• 15:49
  want.
• 15:52
  And
• 15:53
  I
• 15:53
  think
• 15:54
  that's
• 15:54
  my
• 15:54
  big
• 15:55
  emphasis
• 15:55
  is
• 15:56
  you
• 15:57
  need
• 15:57
  to
• 15:57
  celebrate
• 15:57
  life
• 15:58
  because
• 15:58
  we
• 15:58
  don't
• 15:58
  know
• 15:59
  how
• 15:59
  much
• 15:59
  we've
• 15:59
  got
• 15:59
  of
• 15:59
  it
• 16:00
  and
• 16:00
  I
• 16:01
  think
• 16:01
  it's
• 16:01
  so
• 16:01
  precious
• 16:02
  as
• 16:02
  well.
• 16:03
  So
• 16:03
  that's
• 16:03
  why
• 16:03
  we
• 16:04
  had
• 16:04
  the
• 16:04
  21st,
• 16:04
  we
• 16:04
  had
• 16:05
  the
• 16:05
  young
• 16:05
  farmers
• 16:05
  come
• 16:05
  up
• 16:06
  from
• 16:06
  Yorkshire,
• 16:07
  we
• 16:07
  had
• 16:07
  an
• 16:07
  exchange
• 16:08
  so
• 16:08
  everybody
• 16:08
  had
• 16:08
  somewhere
• 16:09
  to
• 16:09
  stay.
• 16:09
  So
• 16:10
  that
• 16:10
  worked
• 16:10
  really,
• 16:10
  really
• 16:10
  well
• 16:11
  and
• 16:11
  we
• 16:12
  had
• 16:12
  a
• 16:12
  really
• 16:12
  good
• 16:13
  party
• 16:13
  and
• 16:14
  we
• 16:14
  were
• 16:14
  raising
• 16:14
  a
• 16:14
  bit
• 16:15
  of
• 16:15
  charity,
• 16:16
  I
• 16:16
  think
• 16:16
  it's
• 16:16
  Neil
• 16:17
  Hugs
• 16:18
  foundation
• 16:19
  we
• 16:19
  raised
• 16:19
  a
• 16:19
  bit
• 16:19
  of
• 16:19
  money
• 16:20
  for.
• 16:20
  And
• 16:20
  I
• 16:20
  just
• 16:20
  said
• 16:21
  a
• 16:21
  few
• 16:21
  words
• 16:21
  about.
• 16:22
  I
• 16:22
  didn't
• 16:23
  go
• 16:23
  into
• 16:23
  depth
• 16:23
  of
• 16:23
  the
• 16:24
  story,
• 16:24
  but
• 16:24
  I
• 16:24
  just
• 16:24
  said
• 16:25
  a
• 16:25
  few
• 16:25
  words
• 16:25
  about
• 16:25
  struggling.
• 16:26
  And
• 16:28
  it
• 16:28
  was
• 16:28
  quite
• 16:28
  scary
• 16:29
  how
• 16:29
  many
• 16:29
  people
• 16:30
  came
• 16:30
  up
• 16:30
  to
• 16:30
  me
• 16:30
  and
• 16:30
  said,
• 16:31
  I'm
• 16:31
  sorry,
• 16:31
  Joe,
• 16:31
  we
• 16:32
  hadn't
• 16:32
  realized
• 16:32
  you
• 16:32
  were
• 16:32
  struggling,
• 16:33
  but
• 16:33
  we've
• 16:34
  had
• 16:34
  a
• 16:34
  bit
• 16:34
  of
• 16:34
  a
• 16:34
  carry
• 16:35
  on
• 16:35
  as
• 16:35
  well.
• 16:35
  We've
• 16:35
  struggled
• 16:36
  as
• 16:36
  well.
• 16:36
  And
• 16:36
  that
• 16:36
  just
• 16:36
  opened
• 16:37
  my
• 16:37
  eyes
• 16:37
  up.
• 16:37
  I
• 16:37
  said,
• 16:37
  this
• 16:38
  problem
• 16:38
  wasn't
• 16:38
  just
• 16:39
  about
• 16:39
  me,
• 16:39
  it's
• 16:40
  an
• 16:40
  industry,
• 16:40
  it's
• 16:41
  a
• 16:41
  worldwide
• 16:41
  thing,
• 16:42
  it's
• 16:42
  national,
• 16:43
  it's
• 16:43
  not
• 16:43
  just
• 16:43
  me,
• 16:44
  it's
• 16:44
  everybody.
• 16:44
  There's
• 16:45
  something
• 16:45
  going
• 16:46
  on.
• 16:46
  And
• 16:46
  that's
• 16:46
  why
• 16:46
  I
• 16:47
  posted
• 16:47
  the
• 16:47
  video
• 16:47
  when
• 16:48
  I
• 16:48
  was
• 16:48
  tidying
• 16:49
  up
• 16:50
  after
• 16:51
  the
• 16:51
  21st
• 16:51
  and
• 16:52
  that
• 16:52
  blew
• 16:52
  up
• 16:54
  30
• 16:54
  or
• 16:54
  40,000
• 16:55
  views.
• 16:55
  And
• 16:55
  ever
• 16:55
  since
• 16:56
  then
• 16:56
  it's
• 16:56
  just
• 16:57
  gone
• 16:57
  from
• 16:57
  strength
• 16:58
  to
• 16:58
  strength.
• 16:58
  The
• 16:58
  amount
• 16:59
  of
• 16:59
  messages
• 16:59
  and
• 16:59
  support
• 17:00
  that
• 17:00
  I've
• 17:00
  got,

• 17:16
  as
• 17:16
  you
• 17:16

  you've
• 17:17
  got

  And

• 17:20
  rather
• 17:20
  celebrate
• 17:21
  life
• 17:21
  now

  than
• 17:24
  be

• 17:26
  Absolutely.

  When

  reaches

  they've
• 17:40
  got
• 17:40
  that
• 17:40
  voice
• 17:40
  in
• 17:40
  their
• 17:41
  head
• 17:41
  or
• 17:41
  they're
• 17:41
  struggling
• 17:42
  with
• 17:42
  something
• 17:42
  that
• 17:43
  there
• 17:43
  is
• 17:44
  always
• 17:44
  a
• 17:44
  way
• 17:44
  through
• 17:45
  it.
• 17:45
  Like
• 17:46
  something
• 17:46
  that
• 17:47
  we.
• 17:47
  Or
• 17:47
  I've
• 17:48
  started
• 17:48
  saying
• 17:49
  this
• 17:49
  last
• 17:49
  year
• 17:50
  is
• 17:50
  there
• 17:50
  is
• 17:51
  no
• 17:51
  problems,
• 17:51
  there's
• 17:52
  only
• 17:52
  solutions.
• 17:53
  And
• 17:53
  there
• 17:53
  is
• 17:53
  always
• 17:54
  a
• 17:54
  solution
• 17:55
  if
• 17:55
  you
• 17:55
  want
• 17:55
  to
• 17:56
  look
• 17:56
  for
• 17:56
  it.
• 17:56
  And
• 17:57
  you
• 17:57
  might
• 17:57
  not
• 17:57
  always
• 17:58
  have
• 17:58
  the
• 17:58
  answer,
• 17:58
  but
• 17:59
  somebody
• 17:59
  does
• 17:59
  and
• 18:00
  it's
• 18:00
  being
• 18:00
  able
• 18:00
  to
• 18:00
  ask
• 18:01
  for
• 18:01
  that
• 18:01
  help.
• 18:05
  I
• 18:06
  think
• 18:06
  what's
• 18:06
  really
• 18:06
  interesting,
• 18:07
  hearing
• 18:07
  you
• 18:07
  speak,
• 18:08
  Joe,
• 18:08
  is
• 18:08
  that
• 18:10
  a.
• 18:10
  You're
• 18:10
  an
• 18:10
  absolute
• 18:11
  sort
• 18:11
  of
• 18:11
  case
• 18:12
  study
• 18:12
  of
• 18:12
  how
• 18:13
  depression
• 18:13
  and
• 18:14
  anxiety
• 18:14
  can
• 18:14
  get
• 18:15
  on
• 18:15
  top
• 18:15
  of
• 18:15
  you,
• 18:16
  like
• 18:16
  a
• 18:16
  layering
• 18:16
  and
• 18:17
  a
• 18:17
  layering
• 18:17
  and
• 18:17
  a
• 18:18
  layering
• 18:18
  of
• 18:18
  difficulty
• 18:19
  and
• 18:19
  stress
• 18:19
  and
• 18:20
  worry.
• 18:21
  But
• 18:21
  then
• 18:22
  much
• 18:22
  more
• 18:22
  importantly
• 18:23
  than
• 18:23
  that,
• 18:23
  you're
• 18:24
  also
• 18:24
  a
• 18:24
  case
• 18:25
  study
• 18:25
  for
• 18:25
  how
• 18:25
  you
• 18:26
  then
• 18:26
  get
• 18:26
  out
• 18:26
  of
• 18:27
  that
• 18:27
  issue
• 18:27
  and
• 18:27
  that
• 18:28
  problem.
• 18:28
  So
• 18:29
  what
• 18:29
  did
• 18:29
  you
• 18:29
  do?
• 18:29
  First
• 18:30
  of
• 18:30
  all,
• 18:30
  you
• 18:30
  noticed,
• 18:31
  right?
• 18:31
  You
• 18:31
  noticed
• 18:32
  that
• 18:32
  something
• 18:32
  was
• 18:32
  wrong.
• 18:33
  You
• 18:33
  need
• 18:33
  to
• 18:33
  be
• 18:33
  aware,
• 18:34
  aware
• 18:34
  that
• 18:34
  you've
• 18:35
  actually
• 18:35
  got,
• 18:36
  as
• 18:36
  horrible
• 18:36
  as
• 18:36
  it
• 18:37
  sounds,
• 18:37
  you've
• 18:37
  got
• 18:37
  a
• 18:37
  problem,
• 18:38
  there's
• 18:38
  something
• 18:38
  going
• 18:38
  wrong,
• 18:40
  there's
• 18:40
  something
• 18:41
  going
• 18:41
  on,
• 18:41
  you're
• 18:41
  aware
• 18:41
  that
• 18:42
  something
• 18:42
  needs
• 18:42
  to
• 18:43
  change.
• 18:43
  And
• 18:44
  then
• 18:44
  I
• 18:44
  would
• 18:45
  say
• 18:45
  seeking
• 18:46
  out
• 18:46
  help,
• 18:47
  you
• 18:47
  can
• 18:47
  help
• 18:47
  yourself.
• 18:48
  There
• 18:48
  is
• 18:48
  ways
• 18:49
  that
• 18:49
  you
• 18:49
  can
• 18:49
  help
• 18:49
  yourself
• 18:50
  through
• 18:51
  writing,
• 18:52
  through
• 18:52
  journaling
• 18:54
  and
• 18:54
  then
• 18:54
  talking
• 18:55
  to
• 18:55
  a
• 18:55
  pal,
• 18:56
  talking
• 18:56
  to
• 18:56
  a
• 18:56
  professional,
• 18:58
  voicing
• 18:59
  that
• 18:59
  awareness
• 19:00
  and
• 19:00
  then
• 19:01
  going
• 19:01
  from
• 19:01
  there.
• 19:01
  There's
• 19:02
  so
• 19:02
  many
• 19:02
  different
• 19:02
  tools
• 19:03
  that
• 19:03
  we
• 19:03
  can
• 19:03
  do
• 19:04
  as
• 19:04
  well
• 19:05
  because
• 19:05
  how
• 19:06
  often.
• 19:06
  Are
• 19:06
  we
• 19:06
  told,
• 19:07
  particularly
• 19:07
  in
• 19:07
  farming,
• 19:08
  I
• 19:08
  think,
• 19:08
  because
• 19:08
  it's
• 19:08
  quite
• 19:09
  a
• 19:09
  sort
• 19:09
  of
• 19:09
  a
• 19:10
  masculine
• 19:10
  old
• 19:11
  school
• 19:11
  industry.
• 19:11
  How
• 19:12
  often
• 19:12
  are
• 19:12
  we
• 19:12
  told?
• 19:12
  Just
• 19:13
  crack
• 19:13
  on,
• 19:13
  keep
• 19:13
  your
• 19:13
  head
• 19:14
  down,
• 19:14
  crack
• 19:14
  on.
• 19:14
  That's
• 19:15
  the
• 19:15
  thing,
• 19:15
  isn't
• 19:15
  it?
• 19:16
  I'll
• 19:16
  be
• 19:16
  right.
• 19:17
  That's
• 19:17
  what
• 19:17
  we
• 19:17
  say
• 19:18
  in
• 19:18
  Yorkshire.
• 19:18
  I'll
• 19:18
  be
• 19:18
  right.
• 19:18
  And
• 19:19
  you
• 19:19
  just
• 19:19
  put
• 19:19
  your
• 19:19
  head
• 19:19
  down
• 19:20
  and
• 19:20
  crack
• 19:20
  on.
• 19:20
  You
• 19:20
  cut
• 19:21
  yourself.
• 19:21
  Oh,
• 19:21
  I'll
• 19:21
  be
• 19:21
  right.
• 19:22
  You
• 19:22
  just
• 19:22
  carry
• 19:22
  on.
• 19:23
  Somebody
• 19:23
  said
• 19:23
  to
• 19:24
  me,
• 19:24
  if
• 19:24
  you
• 19:24
  break
• 19:24
  your
• 19:25
  arm,
• 19:26
  somebody
• 19:26
  says,
• 19:26
  oh,
• 19:27
  how
• 19:27
  have
• 19:27
  you
• 19:27
  done
• 19:28
  that?
• 19:28
  When
• 19:28
  You've
• 19:28
  got
• 19:29
  something
• 19:29
  going
• 19:29
  on
• 19:29
  in
• 19:29
  your
• 19:29
  head.
• 19:30
  It's
• 19:30
  not
• 19:30
  visible,
• 19:30
  you
• 19:31
  can't
• 19:31
  see
• 19:31
  it.
• 19:32
  Nobody's
• 19:33
  asked,
• 19:33
  nobody's
• 19:33
  aware.
• 19:34
  So
• 19:35
  when
• 19:35
  you're,
• 19:35
  when
• 19:35
  you're
• 19:36
  down
• 19:36
  in
• 19:36
  the
• 19:36
  dumps
• 19:36
  or
• 19:37
  something's
• 19:37
  going
• 19:37
  on,
• 19:39
  it's
• 19:40
  okay
• 19:40
  to
• 19:40
  voice
• 19:40
  it
• 19:41
  because
• 19:41
  you
• 19:42
  happily
• 19:42
  say,
• 19:42
  oh,
• 19:42
  I
• 19:42
  broke
• 19:43
  my
• 19:43
  arm,
• 19:43
  I
• 19:43
  did
• 19:43
  this.
• 19:44
  But
• 19:44
  when
• 19:44
  it
• 19:44
  comes
• 19:45
  to
• 19:45
  mentally
• 19:45
  and
• 19:45
  you
• 19:46
  say,
• 19:46
  oh,
• 19:47
  this
• 19:47
  is
• 19:47
  going
• 19:47
  on
• 19:48
  and
• 19:48
  I'm
• 19:48
  struggling
• 19:49
  with
• 19:49
  this,
• 19:50
  people
• 19:50
  have
• 19:51
  that
• 19:51
  fear
• 19:51
  around
• 19:51
  talking
• 19:52
  about
• 19:52
  it
• 19:52
  because
• 19:52
  they
• 19:53
  think
• 19:53
  they're
• 19:53
  going
• 19:53
  to
• 19:53
  be
• 19:53
  judged
• 19:54
  or
• 19:55
  they're
• 19:55
  less
• 19:55
  of
• 19:55
  a
• 19:56
  person,
• 19:56
  but
• 19:56
  it's
• 19:56
  just
• 19:57
  exactly
• 19:57
  the
• 19:57
  same
• 19:57
  as
• 19:57
  breaking
• 19:58
  your
• 19:58
  arm.
• 19:58
  Yeah,
• 19:59
  but
• 19:59
  actually,
• 19:59
  the
• 19:59
  more
• 19:59
  people
• 20:00
  that
• 20:00
  do
• 20:00
  stand
• 20:01
  up
• 20:01
  and
• 20:01
  talk
• 20:01
  about
• 20:01
  it,
• 20:01
  and
• 20:02
  the
• 20:02
  more
• 20:02
  Joe
• 20:02
  Barkers
• 20:03
  there
• 20:03
  are
• 20:03
  out
• 20:03
  there
• 20:03
  in
• 20:03
  the
• 20:03
  world,
• 20:03
  the
• 20:04
  less
• 20:04
  that
• 20:04
  stigma
• 20:04
  will
• 20:05
  be
• 20:05
  and
• 20:05
  the
• 20:06
  more
• 20:06
  people
• 20:06
  will
• 20:06
  feel
• 20:06
  comfortable
• 20:07
  moving
• 20:07
  forward.
• 20:07
  So
• 20:08
  more
• 20:08
  power
• 20:08
  to
• 20:08
  you,
• 20:08
  mate.
• 20:09
  Thank
• 20:09
  you
• 20:09
  very
• 20:09
  much.
• 20:10
  And
• 20:10
  that's
• 20:11
  what
• 20:11
  I'm
• 20:11
  here
• 20:11
  for.
• 20:11
  That's
• 20:11
  what
• 20:12
  I'm
• 20:12
  doing.
• 20:12
  If
• 20:12
  I
• 20:12
  can
• 20:13
  just
• 20:13
  help
• 20:13
  that
• 20:13
  one
• 20:13
  person.
• 20:15
  That's
• 20:15
  what
• 20:15
  I'm
• 20:15
  trying
• 20:15
  to
• 20:16
  do.
• 20:17
  I'm
• 20:18
  interested
• 20:18
  to
• 20:18
  find
• 20:18
  out
• 20:19
  a
• 20:19
  bit
• 20:19
  more
• 20:19
  about.
• 20:20
  So
• 20:20
  you
• 20:20
  posted
• 20:21
  that
• 20:21
  video
• 20:21
  online,
• 20:22
  was
• 20:22
  it
• 20:22
  TikTok,
• 20:22
  right?
• 20:23
  Yeah,
• 20:23
  it
• 20:23
  was
• 20:23
  on
• 20:23
  TikTok,
• 20:24
  yeah.
• 20:24
  Yeah.
• 20:24
  And
• 20:24
  then
• 20:25
  you
• 20:25
  saw
• 20:25
  the
• 20:25
  numbers
• 20:25
  just
• 20:26
  blow
• 20:26
  up
• 20:26
  and
• 20:27
  presumably
• 20:27
  there
• 20:27
  were
• 20:27
  comments
• 20:28
  and
• 20:28
  posters
• 20:28
  and
• 20:29
  sharers.
• 20:30
  What's
• 20:30
  going
• 20:30
  through
• 20:31
  your
• 20:31
  mind
• 20:31
  at
• 20:31
  that
• 20:31
  point?
• 20:31
  Are
• 20:31
  you
• 20:32
  going,
• 20:32
  uh,
• 20:32
  oh,
• 20:34
  I
• 20:34
  don't
• 20:34
  know.
• 20:34
  I
• 20:34
  just
• 20:34
  took
• 20:35
  it
• 20:35
  all.
• 20:35
  Actually,
• 20:36
  thinking
• 20:36
  back
• 20:36
  about
• 20:36
  it,
• 20:37
  I
• 20:37
  just
• 20:37
  took
• 20:37
  it
• 20:37
  all
• 20:37
  in
• 20:37
  my
• 20:37
  stride.
• 20:38
  It
• 20:38
  was
• 20:38
  like,
• 20:39
  right,
• 20:40
  okay.
• 20:41
  But
• 20:41
  obviously
• 20:42
  the
• 20:42
  forefront
• 20:42
  wasn't
• 20:43
  about
• 20:43
  the
• 20:43
  followers
• 20:44
  and
• 20:44
  the
• 20:45
  views
• 20:45
  and
• 20:45
  everything.
• 20:45
  It
• 20:45
  was
• 20:46
  just
• 20:46
  getting
• 20:46
  the
• 20:46
  message
• 20:46
  out
• 20:47
  there
• 20:47
  and
• 20:47
  helping
• 20:47
  that
• 20:47
  person
• 20:49
  that
• 20:49
  really
• 20:49
  needed
• 20:49
  the
• 20:49
  help.
• 20:51
  And
• 20:51
  then
• 20:51
  it's
• 20:51
  just
• 20:51
  built
• 20:52
  on
• 20:52
  from
• 20:52
  there,
• 20:52
  I
• 20:52
  guess.
• 20:53
  And
• 20:54
  were
• 20:54
  the
• 20:54
  commenters
• 20:54
  all
• 20:55
  positive?
• 20:55
  Because
• 20:55
  social
• 20:55
  media
• 20:56
  is
• 20:56
  not
• 20:56
  always
• 20:56
  the
• 20:57
  most
• 20:57
  positive.
• 20:57
  I'll
• 20:57
  tell
• 20:58
  you
• 20:58
  what
• 20:58
  I
• 20:59
  think
• 20:59
  over
• 21:00
  the
• 21:00
  last
• 21:00
  year
• 21:00
  of
• 21:01
  me
• 21:01
  personal,
• 21:01
  since
• 21:01
  October,
• 21:02
  I
• 21:02
  think
• 21:02
  I've
• 21:03
  had
• 21:03
  two
• 21:03
  negative
• 21:04
  comments.
• 21:05
  The
• 21:05
  support
• 21:06
  that
• 21:06
  I
• 21:06
  have,
• 21:07
  I
• 21:07
  am
• 21:07
  extremely
• 21:07
  grateful
• 21:08
  that
• 21:09
  I've
• 21:09
  had
• 21:09
  the
• 21:09
  support.
• 21:10
  I
• 21:10
  had
• 21:10
  a
• 21:10
  bit
• 21:10
  of
• 21:11
  fear
• 21:11
  posting
• 21:11
  on.
• 21:13
  I've
• 21:13
  started
• 21:13
  posting
• 21:14
  on
• 21:14
  Instagram
• 21:14
  and
• 21:15
  being
• 21:15
  more
• 21:15
  widespread
• 21:16
  and
• 21:16
  on
• 21:16
  Facebook.
• 21:17
  I
• 21:17
  had
• 21:17
  a
• 21:17
  bit
• 21:18
  of
• 21:18
  fear
• 21:18
  doing
• 21:19
  that,
• 21:19
  but
• 21:19
  I've
• 21:19
  broken
• 21:20
  that
• 21:20
  fear
• 21:20
  and
• 21:20
  the
• 21:21
  support
• 21:21
  I've
• 21:21
  got
• 21:21
  is

• 21:30
  work
• 21:30
  along
• 21:30
  with

  it.
• 21:31
  So,
• 21:31
  yeah,
• 21:32
  you
• 21:32
  probably
• 21:32
  knew
• 21:32
  this
• 21:33
  question
• 21:33
  was
• 21:33
  coming.
• 21:35
  What
• 21:35
  would
• 21:35
  you
• 21:36
  say
• 21:36
  to
• 21:37
  a
• 21:37
  15
• 21:37
  year
• 21:38
  old
• 21:38
  now,
• 21:39
  who
• 21:39
  is
• 21:40
  in
• 21:40
  your
• 21:41
  shoes
• 21:41
  that
• 21:41
  you
• 21:42
  were
• 21:42
  in
• 21:43
  then?
• 21:44
  What
• 21:44
  have
• 21:44
  you
• 21:44
  learned
• 21:44
  the
• 21:44
  lessons,
• 21:45
  you've
• 21:45
  learned
• 21:45
  the
• 21:45
  hard
• 21:45
  way.
• 21:46
  What
• 21:46
  would
• 21:46
  you
• 21:46
  want
• 21:46
  to
• 21:46
  pass
• 21:46
  on
• 21:47
  to
• 21:47
  somebody
• 21:47
  else?
• 21:48
  I
• 21:49
  would
• 21:49
  say,
• 21:54
  I
• 21:54
  would
• 21:54
  say
• 21:54
  before,
• 21:55
  even
• 21:56
  younger,
• 21:56
  just,
• 21:57
  I
• 21:58
  said
• 21:58
  to
• 21:58
  my
• 21:58
  little
• 21:58
  brother
• 21:59
  in
• 21:59
  school,
• 22:01
  you
• 22:01
  try
• 22:02
  hard.
• 22:02
  Don't
• 22:03
  get
• 22:03
  me
• 22:03
  wrong,
• 22:03
  try
• 22:03
  hard,
• 22:04
  but
• 22:04
  enjoy
• 22:05
  yourself.
• 22:05
  Don't
• 22:06
  sweat
• 22:06
  the
• 22:07
  small
• 22:07
  stuff
• 22:07
  like
• 22:08
  when
• 22:08
  you're
• 22:08
  in
• 22:08
  school,
• 22:10
  it's
• 22:10
  good
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  get
• 22:11
  the
• 22:11
  grades,
• 22:12
  it's
• 22:12
  good
• 22:13
  to
• 22:13
  have
• 22:14
  your
• 22:14
  attendance
• 22:15
  do
• 22:15
  that.
• 22:16
  But
• 22:16
  don't
• 22:17
  sweat
• 22:17
  it.
• 22:18
  Just
• 22:18
  take
• 22:18
  it
• 22:19
  all
• 22:19
  in
• 22:19
  your
• 22:19
  stride
• 22:19
  and
• 22:19
  enjoy
• 22:20
  yourself.
• 22:21
  Because
• 22:21
  that's
• 22:21
  what
• 22:21
  life
• 22:22
  is
• 22:22
  here
• 22:22
  for.
• 22:22
  If
• 22:22
  you're
• 22:23
  not
• 22:23
  enjoying
• 22:23
  it,
• 22:25
  what
• 22:26
  are
• 22:26
  we
• 22:26
  doing
• 22:26
  it
• 22:26
  for?
• 22:27
  That's
• 22:27
  what
• 22:28
  we
• 22:28
  need
• 22:28
  to
• 22:28
  be
• 22:28
  doing.
• 22:28
  We
• 22:28
  need
• 22:28
  to
• 22:29
  enjoy
• 22:29
  ourselves.
• 22:29
  And
• 22:30
  yes,
• 22:30
  you're
• 22:30
  gonna
• 22:31
  have
• 22:31
  bad
• 22:31
  days,
• 22:31
  you're
• 22:31
  gonna
• 22:32
  have
• 22:32
  days
• 22:32
  that
• 22:32
  you
• 22:32
  don't,
• 22:33
  you
• 22:33
  don't
• 22:34
  want
• 22:34
  to
• 22:34
  get
• 22:34
  out
• 22:34
  of
• 22:34
  bed.
• 22:34
  You're
• 22:34
  gonna
• 22:35
  have
• 22:35
  days
• 22:35
  that
• 22:36
  you're
• 22:36
  doing
• 22:36
  a
• 22:36
  job
• 22:37
  that
• 22:37
  you
• 22:37
  don't
• 22:37
  want
• 22:37
  to
• 22:37
  do.
• 22:38
  But
• 22:39
  if
• 22:39
  we
• 22:39
  can
• 22:40
  have
• 22:40
  them
• 22:40
  moments
• 22:41
  and
• 22:41
  really
• 22:41
  reflect
• 22:42
  on
• 22:42
  the
• 22:42
  perfect
• 22:43
  moments
• 22:43
  in
• 22:43
  life
• 22:43
  because
• 22:44
  we
• 22:44
  do
• 22:44
  have
• 22:44
  so
• 22:44
  many
• 22:44
  different
• 22:45
  perfect
• 22:45
  moments
• 22:45
  and
• 22:45
  if
• 22:46
  we
• 22:46
  can
• 22:46
  stand
• 22:46
  back
• 22:46
  and
• 22:46
  really
• 22:47
  see
• 22:47
  the
• 22:47
  perfect
• 22:47
  moments,
• 22:48
  I
• 22:48
  think
• 22:48
  that's
• 22:49
  wonderful
• 22:49
  as
• 22:49
  well.
• 22:50
  So
• 22:50
  being
• 22:50
  able
• 22:50
  to
• 22:51
  just
• 22:51
  being
• 22:51
  aware
• 22:51
  of
• 22:51
  yourself
• 22:52
  and
• 22:52
  see
• 22:52
  the
• 22:52
  perfect
• 22:53
  moments,
• 22:53
  I
• 22:53
  think
• 22:54
  that's
• 22:55
  something
• 22:55
  that
• 22:55
  I
• 22:55
  would
• 22:56
  definitely
• 22:56
  push
• 22:56
  to
• 22:57
  somebody.
• 22:57
  But
• 22:58
  then
• 22:58
  to
• 22:58
  say,
• 23:00
  so
• 23:00
  my
• 23:01
  15
• 23:01
  year
• 23:01
  old
• 23:01
  self,
• 23:06
  Something
• 23:06
  my
• 23:08
  teacher
• 23:08
  always
• 23:09
  would
• 23:09
  tell
• 23:09
  me,
• 23:10
  you're
• 23:11
  capable
• 23:11
  of
• 23:11
  anything
• 23:12
  if
• 23:12
  you
• 23:12
  put
• 23:12
  your
• 23:13
  mind
• 23:13
  to
• 23:13
  it.
• 23:13
  If
• 23:14
  you
• 23:15
  have
• 23:15
  your
• 23:15
  mindset
• 23:16
  that
• 23:16
  you're
• 23:16
  gonna
• 23:16
  do
• 23:17
  it,
• 23:17
  you're
• 23:17
  gonna
• 23:17
  do
• 23:17
  it.
• 23:18
  And
• 23:19
  the
• 23:19
  only
• 23:19
  person
• 23:19
  that's
• 23:19
  gonna
• 23:20
  talk
• 23:20
  you
• 23:20
  out
• 23:20
  of
• 23:20
  it
• 23:20
  is
• 23:21
  yourself.
• 23:21
  And
• 23:22
  it's
• 23:22
  all
• 23:22
  up
• 23:23
  here.
• 23:23
  It's
• 23:23
  all
• 23:24
  up
• 23:24
  here.
• 23:24
  And
• 23:25
  that's
• 23:25
  why
• 23:25
  up
• 23:25
  there
• 23:26
  is
• 23:26
  so
• 23:26
  important
• 23:27
  to
• 23:27
  look
• 23:27
  after.
• 23:28
  But
• 23:28
  how
• 23:29
  many
• 23:29
  of
• 23:29
  us
• 23:29
  do
• 23:31
  journal
• 23:31
  a
• 23:31
  little
• 23:31
  bit?
• 23:32
  How
• 23:32
  many
• 23:32
  of
• 23:32
  us
• 23:33
  are
• 23:33
  looking
• 23:33
  after
• 23:33
  upstairs?
• 23:35
  Especially
• 23:35
  in
• 23:35
  the
• 23:35
  farming
• 23:36
  community
• 23:36
  as
• 23:36
  it's.
• 23:37
  I'll
• 23:37
  be
• 23:37
  right.
• 23:38
  Are

  me
• 24:00
  as

  And

  I
• 24:02
  suppose
• 24:02
  that's
• 24:02
  the

  I've

  there
• 24:12
  was
• 24:12
  a
• 24:12
  time
• 24:12
  that
• 24:13
  I
• 24:13
  didn't
• 24:13
  think
• 24:13
  I
• 24:13
  would
• 24:13
  Be.
• 24:14
  And
• 24:14
  that

  was
• 24:15
  a

  time.

  So.

• 24:40
  that
• 24:40
  some
• 24:41

  and

  keeping

  ourselves
• 24:47
  in
• 24:47
  good
• 24:47
  order
• 24:48
  that
• 24:48
  we
• 24:48
  do.
• 24:49
  What
• 24:49
  are
• 24:49
  some
• 24:49
  of
• 24:49
  the

  that
• 24:50
  you

  a.
• 24:50
  Or

  are
• 24:51
  you
• 24:51
  able
• 24:51
  to
• 24:52
  notice,

  to

  get

  farm,
• 24:55
  when
• 24:56
  it's
• 24:56
  time
• 24:56
  to
• 24:56
  take
• 24:56
  a
• 24:56
  break,
• 24:57
  when
• 24:57
  it's
• 24:58
  time
• 24:58
  to
• 24:58
  do
• 24:59
  some
• 24:59
  social
• 24:59
  stuff?
• 25:00
  You
• 25:00
  play
• 25:00
  five
• 25:00
  a
• 25:00
  side
• 25:01
  football.
• 25:01
  Right.
• 25:01
  With
• 25:01
  the
• 25:01
  local
• 25:01
  young
• 25:02
  farmers.
• 25:02
  Are
• 25:03
  you
• 25:03
  aware
• 25:03
  of,
• 25:03
  you
• 25:04
  know,
• 25:04
  when
• 25:04
  it's
• 25:04
  time
• 25:05
  to
• 25:06
  down
• 25:06
  tools,
• 25:07
  check

  with

  yourself,
• 25:08
  those
• 25:08
  sorts
• 25:09
  of
• 25:09
  things?
• 25:09
  Definitely.
• 25:10
  I
• 25:10
  think
• 25:10
  you've
• 25:10
  got
• 25:10
  to
• 25:11
  be
• 25:11
  careful
• 25:11
  of
• 25:11
  them
• 25:11
  busy
• 25:12
  times,
• 25:12
  you
• 25:12
  know,
• 25:12
  that
• 25:12
  them
• 25:13
  busy
• 25:13
  times
• 25:13
  are
• 25:13
  coming
• 25:14
  up
• 25:14
  and
• 25:15
  a
• 25:15
  lot
• 25:15
  of
• 25:16
  farmers,
• 25:16
  their
• 25:16
  busy
• 25:17
  times
• 25:17
  are
• 25:17
  all
• 25:18
  the
• 25:18
  time.
• 25:18
  So
• 25:19
  we've
• 25:19
  got
• 25:19
  to
• 25:19
  be
• 25:20
  aware
• 25:20
  of
• 25:20
  that
• 25:20
  and
• 25:21
  being
• 25:21
  okay
• 25:22
  to
• 25:22
  take
• 25:22
  a
• 25:22
  break
• 25:22
  because
• 25:23
  a
• 25:23
  lot
• 25:23
  of
• 25:23
  us
• 25:23
  are
• 25:23
  grafters
• 25:24
  and
• 25:25
  think
• 25:26
  it's
• 25:26
  a
• 25:26
  bad
• 25:27
  job
• 25:27
  taking
• 25:27
  a
• 25:28
  break,
• 25:28
  but
• 25:28
  it's
• 25:29
  okay
• 25:29
  to
• 25:29
  take
• 25:29
  a
• 25:29
  break.
• 25:30
  It's
• 25:30
  okay
• 25:30
  to
• 25:30
  have
• 25:30
  five
• 25:31
  minutes
• 25:31
  and
• 25:31
  take
• 25:32
  a
• 25:32
  break.
• 25:32
  It's
• 25:32
  okay
• 25:32
  to
• 25:32
  have
• 25:33
  a
• 25:33
  day

• 25:33
  the
• 25:33
  show
• 25:34
  and
• 25:34
  get
• 25:34
  that.
• 25:34
  It's
• 25:34
  okay
• 25:35
  to
• 25:35
  enjoy
• 25:35
  your
• 25:35
  life.
• 25:35
  Yeah,
• 25:36
  exactly.
• 25:37
  But
• 25:37
  people
• 25:37
  enjoy
• 25:37
  the
• 25:38
  work
• 25:38
  and
• 25:38
  there's
• 25:39
  nothing
• 25:39
  wrong
• 25:39
  with
• 25:39
  that.
• 25:40
  But
• 25:40
  you'll
• 25:40
  enjoy
• 25:40
  it
• 25:41
  more
• 25:41
  if
• 25:41
  you're
• 25:41
  full
• 25:42
  of
• 25:42
  energy
• 25:42
  and
• 25:42
  not
• 25:42
  feeling
• 25:43
  groggy
• 25:43
  and
• 25:44
  just
• 25:44
  taking
• 25:44
  that
• 25:44
  time
• 25:45
  away.
• 25:45
  So,
• 25:46
  yeah,
• 25:46
  getting
• 25:46
  out,
• 25:46
  connecting
• 25:47
  socially,
• 25:48
  because
• 25:48
  that
• 25:48
  brings
• 25:48
  your
• 25:49
  energy
• 25:49
  up.
• 25:50
  Getting
• 25:51
  out,
• 25:51
  playing
• 25:51
  some
• 25:52
  sport,
• 25:53
  going
• 25:53
  to
• 25:53
  the
• 25:53
  pub.
• 25:53
  Some
• 25:54
  people
• 25:54
  aren't
• 25:54
  sporty.
• 25:55
  Some
• 25:55
  people
• 25:55
  just
• 25:56
  like
• 25:56
  that
• 25:56
  social
• 25:56
  connection.
• 25:58
  There's
• 25:58
  so
• 25:58
  many
• 25:58
  different
• 25:59
  things
• 25:59
  that
• 25:59
  people
• 25:59
  do.
• 26:00
  And
• 26:00
  that's
• 26:00
  why
• 26:00
  I'm
• 26:00
  doing
• 26:01
  my
• 26:01
  podcast
• 26:01
  and
• 26:02
  trying

  speak
• 26:03
  to
• 26:03
  other
• 26:03
  people
• 26:04
  is
• 26:04
  because
• 26:04
  I
• 26:05
  know
• 26:05
  what
• 26:05
  I've
• 26:05
  done.
• 26:06
  I'm
• 26:06
  a
• 26:06
  sporty
• 26:06
  guy.
• 26:07
  I
• 26:07
  like
• 26:07
  going
• 26:07
  to
• 26:07
  the.
• 26:08
  I

• 26:10
  going

• 26:10
  gym.
• 26:11
  I
• 26:11
  read
• 26:11
  some
• 26:11
  books.
• 26:12
  Sometimes
• 26:12
  that
• 26:13
  doesn't
• 26:13
  always
• 26:13
  happen,
• 26:13
  but
• 26:14
  I
• 26:14
  read
• 26:14
  some
• 26:14
  books,
• 26:15
  sometimes
• 26:15
  I
• 26:15
  do
• 26:16
  my

  journal.
• 26:16
  But
• 26:17
  that
• 26:17
  isn't
• 26:17
  for
• 26:17
  everybody
• 26:18
  and
• 26:18
  everybody's
• 26:19
  different,
• 26:19
  isn't
• 26:19
  it?
• 26:19
  So
• 26:20
  that's
• 26:20
  why
• 26:20
  I
• 26:20
  speak
• 26:20
  to
• 26:21
  other

  many
• 26:27
  different

  things
• 26:28
  that
• 26:28
  we
• 26:28
  can
• 26:28
  do
• 26:29
  and

  it's
