Great to see an article from the Farmers Weekly about our customer, Michael Eavis. He hosts the Glastonbury pop festival on his farm in Somerset, UK, and has a very nice cubicle building.

"Michael Eavis offered a glimpse into what it's like juggling life as a dairy farmer and host of the world's biggest music festival this week.
Talking to a paying audience on London's Southbank on Tuesday, the Somerset farmer (and Farmers Weekly subscriber) described how the festival has to be meticulously planned around his dairy herd.
Four weeks before 140,000 festival-goers descend on the 364ha (900-acre) site, his cows are brought into their winter housing - dubbed the "Mootel" - for the duration of the festival. Moving them early, Mr Eavis explained, is a necessary precaution to minimise the risk of E coli."
Here are some pictures of his Mootel:
