Farmer Morgan Murphy glad to be back in the field after major health issues

Next Wednesday, remember one of the health checks which could prevent serious illness disrupting your farming career.

Farmer Morgan Murphy and his son are putting in timber for the coming winter, sawing and hauling the wood in sacks from various locations on their farm.

Nothing unusual about that, you might think, preparing for the winter — except that it was only in April, a few months ago, that Morgan had major health issues, and three quarters of his tongue had to be removed, after it was discovered that he had mouth cancer.
