Age profile of forum

Just out of interest over next couple of days, I thought it would be interesting to look at what ages use the forum.Age profile for farming is pretty old according to statistics.

don't think this should be a prob with privacy, but if it is apologies to mods.

Conmaicne Mara · 25-12-2013 12:46AM

35 last time I counted, but I can be up to 150 depending on which little person you ask and their humour on the day.

locky76 · 25-12-2013 12:49AM

Fair play, it should be interesting, I would imagine the 30-40 will be the biggest sector...

jaymla627 · 25-12-2013 01:16AM

26 in the new year and the knees grand gave up running around after balls at 21 and reckon it will stand to us in years to come.

Brown Podzol · 25-12-2013 01:21AM

I'm only as old as the woman I'm feeling and she's not telling.:D

munkus · 25-12-2013 01:28AM

33, the years are starting to skip by now!

Mac Taylor · 25-12-2013 01:32AM

41 here, but like a good wine, I seem to be getting better with age(at least in my head anyway)
My six year old though refers to me as the auld lad when we are farming.(otherwise to be fair its daddy)

Conor556 · 25-12-2013 01:33AM

19 and feeling every bit of it! :P

foxylock · 25-12-2013 01:38AM

keep going · 25-12-2013 01:38AM

44 and not able to work as hard as I used to but nearly achieving more.

Mulumpy · 25-12-2013 01:44AM

Nearly 32 ere where do the years go

Mac Taylor · 25-12-2013 01:47AM

I suppose the other question is how long have you been farming. I did all the usual stuff farming wise until I went to college and from then until I came home a few years ago, I did shag all farming. So I am kinda back at novice level again.

Miname · 25-12-2013 02:30AM

32 hitting 33. is it down to the downturn the last few years or is it a normal progression that a lot of lads dont go straight into farming. fro what i see locally it seems to be only dairying whereby the heir may stay farming a lot younger, a lot i suppose is based on the fact it may be one of the more profitable but then again the beef ads may just rather a wilder time.

bob charles · 25-12-2013 02:36AM

old enough to know better,

Rho b · 25-12-2013 02:44AM

life is like a toilet roll the further you get in it the faster it goes, if you think it's starting to skip at the stage you're at by the time you're 60 you'll be going so fast you won't be able to keep up with yourself, i.e. it'll be going faster and you slower. I know.
happy xmas

epfff · 25-12-2013 11:30AM

33 here

lefthooker · 25-12-2013 11:59AM

just gone 33. And still have the body of a greek god, probably Dionysus:D
At home farming since I left a college 15 years back, took over the reigns 3 years ago

Timmaay · 25-12-2013 12:12PM

Still in my 20s thankfully

! But anyways I'm sorta surprised that there isn't more of a spread in age, nobody over 50, most in their 30s!
