Just the fact that someone took a picture of you playing gives me a clue that I could not offer you a good game.

It all starts with 3 tons of seed per hectare. At 10 days they look more or less like this

After taking care of them and giving them the fertilizers, fungicides and insecticides, if you put your hands in after 100 days, things would look more or less like this (about 35 tons)

And if you keep taking care of them until 140/150 days, things would look more or less like this (60-70 tons)

And this has been repeated, year after year in our family for the last 110 years, from generation to generation. My father wanted me to become an accountant. And so I did, I'm an accountant ... but I'm more passionate about "potatoes"

I know it's a bubble that will burst at any moment, but a few years ago, I needed to buy a tractor that cost me u$ 100,000. My youngest son tells me:Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
Wow - Blast from the distant past!My guilty secret is racing 1/32 scale slot cars. There! I’ve said it!
My first memory of racing cars was my dad's business partner bringing his Scalextric set over. It was a figure of 8 with a chicane, finger trigger speed controls and the two cars were a Vanwall and "sharknose" Ferrari.My guilty secret is racing 1/32 scale slot cars. There! I’ve said it!

Mountain biking at 61 is pretty impressive, your body just doesn't bounce back the same. The risk is far higher then a pedaling the tarmac.Loved mountain biking from the age of about 20 ... wasn't so main stream back then and we just wanted to emulate the 'cool dudes' from Marin and ripping it up on steel bikes. I am 61 now and still get out on the odd occasion but pretty much finished now, probably spent as much on MTB's as motor bikes over the years, way toooooo much. I have ridden a few of the French trails i.e. Les Gets, Morzein etc but abiout 5 years ago I finally managed to get to Sedona in the States and rode some amazing trails around there, it was everything I hoped it would be.View attachment 78832
