Title: Looking for possible work experience and knowledge
Post by: mrplattypus on January 03, 2014, 06:56:01 pm: Hi guys if any of you own a farm/smallholding, or know anyone that does, in the West midlands area, i would be more than happy to help out, this purely for work experience and my own knowledge. If you are interested just shoot me a message :)

If you don't have any luck, send me a PM and I'll mention your offer in my column in Country Smallholding. Sure to be someone looking for a spare pair of hands. If only you were closer!
Good luck

And i'll check around but i can'r find any at the moment. If you did mention me, i would be eternally grateful.
Thanks guys
