I think I would visit when he could walk the area and get some sense of what his expectations are.
I farm, have cattle, raise grass & feed for livestock etc. and I think you are correct....he over reacted......at least in my opinion. I'm assuming that you didn't spin tires and sling mud everywhere and cut up his field.I felt it was an over reaction,
I agree with Ian. Perhaps the farmer was just having a bad day and wanted to take it out on someone. Josh happened to be an easy target. When a farmer starts the texting game with me I personally over-communicate until they are sick of me and I know their expectations. I am sure there are lots of other farmers that would let you have space if this particular farmer is unreasonable. Just apologize, explain your logic and ask what he expects in future. Farmers need to understand you are a business too and weather be ****ed have time constraints and need to access your hives. Supering 30 hives with a wheel barrow is not realistic nor practical.I think you guys are over blowing the whole thing...
first off it was a bit of grass, along the field edge, and he texted his displeasure... not like Josh drove through a standin crop of wheat
