Say, you sell a product or a service. Part of selling this product/service could include some admin tasks, for example issue an invoice or contact a customer etc.
This particular task doesn't add any real value to the product/service that you sell, but it has to be done in order to complete the process i.e. if you don't issue an invoice you won't get paid.
Hope that makes sense
P.S. Having said that I can't think of what could qualify as a waste in a farm. So, another guess.
Tyre kicking!

But is that work wasted?Also Starring LeVar Burton wrote: »...what percentage of a farmer's work is contract killings, so that's what I'm going to pretend the question is. :pac:
Could he not train the cows to do it? Thus saving his own time?

Thanks Aris.
I thought he was asking how much of his time he spends working with dung.0 -

It’s more than that Aris is right in his example
So we’ll say milking the cows
I’ve to put them in, clean them, milk them, let them out. The only bit of that which provides value is the milking
Some activities may not provide value, but could be necessary!
I am guessing overproducing your milk, or overprocessing milk, would all be waste - but how much affects the average dairy farm given we saw in a previous question that G&R doesn't do the processing of his own milk.
You might say letting the cows out is a necessary task, but that in itself could be wasteful because the route you are taking to the field could be unnecessarily long
I am definitely overthinking this...0 -

Can we have a new rule that if you ask for clarification on the question you get automatically booted... :pac:
Too many amateur detectives on here with whiteboards trying to crack the case and asking for more data instead of just picking a number. Time to start acting like there's a gun to your head and just going for any old answer whether you understand the question or not. Risk takers are the worthiest winners.

I like trying to works things out. Maybe we just all play a game of Bingo instead.0 -

Yes of course work out what the question is and if you can from the information given figure it out further, but as an extra element wouldn't it be fun to see a few people eliminated for playing it too safe with all the questions...
I'm only having a laugh gang, don't take anything I say too seriously, but just saying if I decided to run any of these games, some of you are in for a rude awakening because that would definitely be a rule...

When was the last time you were on a farm!0 -
When was the last time you were on a farm!
Well I was last in a farmhouse when my Nana died about a year and a half ago, as I was a fair bit growing up (although hadn't been over there for a good 12 or 13 years prior to my Nana's funeral, aside from my Grandad's funeral), but was very very young when I was last on the farm itself.
I had no interest in the farm though, and didn't help me with today's question, so what point you trying to make? 0 -

I'm just trying to get some data points.
18months * 13yrs / 3yrs (very young) + moo time
That gives me a rough idea of something which I use to extrapolate and give me half of the average of value time.

Oh right, fair enough then...
Wow, everything really makes sense for me now too and I think I can work out the answer...
If you just multiply 1987 by a million you'll probably be in the right ballpark. 0 -
