    Landowner Gift

    Gidday Team,

    We're very lucky to have 500 acres of maize and a few dams to shoot mallards over during the season on one property. We're trying to work out what to give the landowner, who doesn't drink, has plenty of wild game and farm meat. Don't want to start giving cash as that can get tricky.....

    One thought we did have was a nice wet weather coat for the farm or something like that. But open to other options that you lot may have.

    It's a sheep and beef farm with some cropping thrown in.

    Cheers

    Scott

    A farmer has heaps of jackets and just puts them on his farmlands account when in need. like giving a farmer a petrol voucher, he just goes fulls up out of the farm fuel tank want mean a lot to some.

    He’s not a hunter himself, not even the slightest bit interested

    How about some labour, there’s always something to do on a farm, maybe cut/stack some fire wood

    They like a good fire. A decent poker for their fireplace.

    A decent torch?

    It’s hard lol. The ol bottle of whisky usually goes a long way
