That bimbo is buying someones produced grain, someones hay/straw and probably does so with cash at the till, unlike a lot of farmers.
Exactly, and I have been called a lot of things in my life, but never a bimbo

And in relation to closing unused accts, there is a cost associated with holding open an account, albeit relatively small, but this all adds up especially if there is no return for years!
As farmers, your looking at your books to cut costs wherever you can, move things around to avoid taxes wherever possible, so why are these businesses so bad for trying to stave off necrosis of margin?
Same here ?Our account wasn't unused. We were spending £2000/year with them and always paid monthly. That's not good enough for them so they've lost our business and we've set up and account with a local feed supplier working from a farmyard. They told me I was about the 15th person to come to them from countrywide so instantly there turnover will be up by at the very least £15,000 meaning profits are also up.
I don't think the countrywide management really gave any idea what they've done to be honest as 2 weeks ago it was 60 just from our local branch according to the manager who I know quite well. How many branches do they have?
Yes that really ticks me off. They go paperless but we still have to print and keep a paper invoice for records / VAT. I'm sure there's a few receipts that either don't get sent or I forget to log and print. That's probably more annoying than accounts closing. Vodafone seem to change on a whim and without me even requesting; sometimes a text to say my bill is ready on line) , sometimes an email .......That's fair enough but not always got card with you and all those slips nightmare to do vat etc.
Point being they never notified us .
They made most go paperfree with bills emailed out then pay by BACS so NO cost to them in printing or post ?

I try to email as many invoices as possible not to worried how they are paid as long as they are, hopefully my prices reflect my saving of the cost of an envelope & stamp.They made most go paper free with bills emailed out then pay by BACS so NO cost to them in printing or post ?
DILLIGAFVery good money to be made in turf & amenity @Dilligaf but not enough in this case I suspect.

£6M on a new "multichannel" ERP system....then decide to bail out of Retail.......!.....
looking at some of the costs of this "implementation" makes you wonder who was signing off the costs....£500K current year for Cornwall Farmers data integration costs ????
Having already got out of livestock/feed/forage/arable/crop.....and now retail....the way I read this is that all that's left is "rural energy" & " turf and amenity"
