That didn't work x 2 - I was speaking to an Argentine mate who is a bit of a trailblazer in the Sheep and Wool industry over there. I remember 6 or 7 years ago when I was helping him to get something going similar to Farm Tender over there. 

He put a fair bit of coin into it but couldn't get it to crank up, so he cut his losses after 12 months and went back to his core operation. 

We tried to replicate Farm Tender in the US (55 Farms), and that was a spectacular failure which we wrote about some time ago. It was my idea to try, and we spent 12 months (family there for 4 or 5 months) trying but to no avail. It was a great learning experience, though. I find it very interesting that what has worked here failed in two other countries. 

I believe that you don't really know if something is going to work until you try it. That's why we keep trying things because, occasionally, you do find those nuggets of gold. Keep at it.
