We are so sad to tell you that we have gotten word from the family and friends of MaizeFarmer, that he was very seriously injured in an accident with farm equipment, and he nearly died. They say that he is recovering in a hospital in Hong Kong after very extensive surgery, and he seems to be improving. We don't have much information.

We know that members of ThaiVisa would want to know about this, and that you wish him all the best toward a speedy recovery. Thanks for your concern.

RC and the MOD team

Oh no ... best wishes for a speedy recovery.

best wishes to maizefarmer and the family. hope he recovers soon.

regards.

What horrible news. A terrible thing to happen to one of the most knowlegable and respected members of this forum.

Please keep us up to date on his progress.

My prayers go out to him.

Yes, farming is one of the most accident prone occupations around unfortunately.

I thought he may have gone on holiday as he had not posted for awhile.

Hope he recovers fully and gets back to the life he loves sooner rather than later.

He shares his knowledge willingly to all re the country and farming, more so than possibly anyone else in here. The best thing is that his knowledge is practicle and built from experience, not a book.

This is terrible news. I thought he had gone to England for a holiday from the itinerary he posted.

Let's all hope he recovers soon.

Hoping for a speedy recovery Tim, good luck.

Sorry to hear, always respected the words of Maize.

May your stay in HK be so short that the weeds don't have a chance to grow.

A prayer that your holidays will be spent at home with family and friends.

was curiuos where he disappeared.... best wishes as i really appreciated his useful real-time knowlege;

just yesterday we were looking at large machinery in the pinned up links section and thought of him...

I don't know how this is handled, but could an address for get well cards be organised?

I don't know how this is handled, but could an address for get well cards be organised?

Indeed terrible news and hope he gets better soon. Could perhaps send e-cards to his profile email account.

I was missing his posts too in the last few weeks.

Best wishes for a quick recovery, Tim.

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery Tim.

I wondered where Maizefarmer was, I had not seen any posts from him for awhile but I thought he was on vacation to Europe. It is funnym through this forum you feel as if you are friends with someone without ever meeting them or talking to them. Maizefarmer was to my mind one of the better posters, he was very knowladgeable and would go out of his way to research things.

It is very sad indeed to hear he injured himself, we can all only hope that he has a full recovery, my prayers will be with him. Issangeorge.

What a shame, such terrible new. Wishing Maizefarmer a full and speedy recovery, GET WELL SOON!

And we don't want to be reading about this too often, so be careful out there with that farm equipment lads, it can happen all too easily.

sorry to hear about maizefarmers accident and wish him a speedy recovery.

cityboys like myself are not always aware of the hardwork and risks that farmers and their staff put themselves through on a daily basis.

maizefarmers (and others') posts are a window into that world , and i hope he is back , both on his farm and at his keyboard again soon.

Hoping for his full and speedy recovery.

Tim, I only started reading this forum a month or so ago but have been deeply impressed by your depth of knowledge and generosity in sharing it. I now understand why I have not received a reply to my PM to you several days ago. My best wishes to you for a speedy and full recovery.

John

Not a forum I actively participate in but I've learnt a bit and picked up some ideas here - plenty from MaizeFarmer of course.

Best wishes and here's to a speedy recovery.

Please add my wishes for a full and very speedy recovery.

Best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery!!

Indeed, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
