Meet Hayden Pretty-Kent

Hayden arrived from the UK in mid October, and is spending the season with us. Hailing from the Norfolk/Suffolk border area. Hayden has worked all his life on the family farm where they run 400 head of beef cattle alongside 700 acres, as well as working on a dairy farm for 3 and a half years. Hayden also attended Writtle University college and studied Level 3 extended diploma in agriculture! When not at work, “you will find me playing darts somewhere or at a pub”. If he were a song, it would be ‘Cider Drinker’ by The Wurzels “as everyone seems to be shocked here that I don’t like beer”. Hayden has been operating the McHale Fusion 3 Plus round baler for the season.

MEET THE TEAM 👋🏼

Tom Green (Greeny)

Greeny is all the way from Worcestershire UK, “home of the great sauce Lea & Perrins”. Tom’s first season for EAL was back in 2018/2019, and lucky for us he’s back for this season in the truck division. Tom’s been a truck driver for 11 years now, it’s something he’s always wanted to do from an early age. Tom also reckons he’s old school, “I’m not a fan of technology”.

His favourite song is ACDC ’Shook Me All night Long”. If there was a time he could relive, Tom would be 18 again where he was going to clubs, pubs and getting his truck license. You’ll hear Greeny piping up on the RT in the late afternoon providing insightful running commentary from the paddock. Good to have you back Greeny!

Wendy Thomson

Wendy is our office administrator and has been with us for a year and a half. EAL would grind to a halt without her magic on the books! Wendy was brought up in the city and has a background in administration and accounts. Moved out to her hobby farm in Dunsandel 25 years ago and has never looked back, “my heart is in the country”. Wendy enjoys modern jive dancing, water sports, and said Twizel and home are her happy places. 💃🏼🌲🚤

🚨 EAL Season Update 🚨

It’s 26 days until 2024, we have silage in full swing and straw on the horizon for late Janurary. So far, the season has been rather stop go, 2 seasons in one day kind of weather. Momentum has been difficult to get going, but the team are doing very well. An unusual weather pattern, global warming may prove to be a very interesting experience. El Nino certainly showing its presence!

But our field teams this season are doing very well. Four of the crew hopping off the plane from the UK in October, all slotting in to the team superbly and making themselves at home here in the community. Some sporting some very interesting haircuts 👀. In October we all headed along to the Ellesmere A&P Show, in November we sponsored the Hororata Highland games, and had a site at the Courtenay A&P Show.

The team have been working far and wide, from Woodstock, to Hororata, to Te Pirita, down to Dunsandel, out in Sedgemere and back around to Southbridge.

📣 If there was one tip from Tim and the team it would be “keep a close watch on the growth stages of the cereal silage as we approach Christmas, it’s very important, and if you aren’t sure please get in touch!”.

We’re very happy with the machinery side of the business, everything has been operating to expectations. The two new Hino trucks are proving to be a great investment, and the new sign writing from Sign Network Ltd looks smart. A number of big bale stacks have been made by the team so far, and also have had the drill going consistently with spring cultivation over the last few weeks, which Sam has made a very neat job of!

We hope everyone has a productive and safe few weeks leading up to Christmas 🎄
