Changes to ownership of the forum

Clive · Jun 12, 2017

Clive Bailye is pleased to announce that he has acquired all of the shares owned by his fellow founding shareholder, Jake Withecombe, in Agri Web Media Limited, the company that owns The Farming Forum (TFF).

The Farming Forum was launched in February 2013. Since that time, both TFF and the business have grown substantially. TFF is widely recognised for representing the views of people engaged in agriculture in the UK and beyond.

Under his sole ownership, Clive Bailye will continue to develop and grow TFF for the benefit of its members and customers. Jake Withecombe has a number of other business interests and will be pursuing those other opportunities

TOFF will undoubtedly become far more successful that TFF because it will have a "Dislike" icon as well as a "Like" icon

Due to the success of TFF, I am thinking about starting a rival forum called The Other Farming Forum.

On this one, you earn double the points if you own a plough and 4 times the points if you actually use it.
An extra 10 points are earned every time you slag off Red Tractor and/or any Brexit Remoaners.

Points are deducted for inventing new threads too often, doubly so if you are a Scottish farmer who owns a large farm,
Or are Irish and like taking the mick out of UK politicians and grow a small area of potatoes,
Or live in France. Especially those who are known to pull a green farmyard manure spreader with a quad bike or having a history of rally driving, which will definitely preclude you from joining this forum.

However, if you can prove you actually do have mice in your Grainstore, all of the above restrictions are voided.

The Other Farming Forum will also be at this year's Cereals event. Our stand is in the beer tent

Then I worked out that the initials were TOFF, so decided against the idea!

Any points for those who successfully made and adapted kit - it comes out of the workshop and stays in one piece? Always room to see these!

How long before TFF suffers a mysterious crash, and a new forum is up & running already to help out, hosted by the suspected architect of BFF's downfall in suspiciously similar circumstances?

I hope you've got everything backed up @Clive .

Do these points do anything then? More importantly have they got a cash value? Apparently, I got an award last week but couldn't read it fast enough before it disappeared.
