No relation - but an interesting story. “Woman gets reply to job application - 48 years on” https://t.co/uiKrxY4GFr

@KrusadaTeamwear - grass roots rugby today at @StamfordRUFC. My daughter’s first Micro/Preschool rugby session. Following her brother who plays Under 8’s

@Ondaintreefarm @KidsCountryUK Beinlich - who make GRIMME irrigators have a model and so do Bauer from memory

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

@Ondaintreefarm @KidsCountryUK Glad to see those models of mine are being put to good use!

A very interesting day at @hillheadshow today, learning lots and seeing some huge kit working in the quarry. Lots fitted with @PerkinsEngines and @CaterpillarInc engines.

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, as it’s hard to share the exciting things I’m doing at @CaterpillarInc @PerkinsEngines. But today I got a chance to do the Machine Appreciation Course and drive some kit on the proving ground - always fun to get behind the wheel again

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

A great few days in Peoria, Illinois on my first trip to @CaterpillarInc in my new role. A busy few days but thankfully found some time to look around the museum.

@kenyanpigfarmer A better performance than when I saw them last week at Tottenham against Saracens. Harlequins got schooled by a much stronger side on the day!

This picture on the walls at ⁦@PerkinsEngines⁩ is a little reminder of my previous role in the potato sector - albeit this 🥔 harvester is a different era to what I’m used to!!

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

@kenyanpigfarmer Yes, from Vicecards

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

Two weeks into the new job and it’s going well! Everyone is welcoming and helpful and I think I’m going to enjoy the challenge. I finally got the business cards today - #NoPaperHere

@fenboy01 I can’t answer that Luke, that will be a different division to me. I’m working with “advanced power” engines - so electric, hybrid, hydrogen etc.

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

@SpudSlingsby @kenyanpigfarmer A farm could have and equal number of workers from all ethnicities (diverse) but just one ethnicity fills all the senior and non minimum wage jobs so little inclusivity for everyone. How does that sound?

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

@AgEngResearch @TheFarmersClub @HarperAdamsUni How did you sneak in there Clem Kelsey? Hope you are doing well?

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

@FarmTemple @JustFarmersUK Well done Adam, that’s brilliant!!

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

Today marked my last day at @GrimmeUK @GRIMMEGroup after almost 12 years. I’m learnt so much, met many amazing people and travelled to some fantastic places. I will miss the business but on Monday I embark on my new challenge with @PerkinsEngines @CaterpillarInc

My last time in Jersey representing @GrimmeUK before I move on to pastures new- this Island is a unique and a very special place and I will miss visiting it so regularly.

[Ed Hodson @EdHodson4]

@SpudSlingsby @GrimmeUK Hand planting for the earliest crops with the biggest chits - but there are mechanical planters working too, but that tends to be for later harvested crops or seed.
