£1000 up per head on my highland lim cross bullocks for the sake of a few phone calls and a couple of days work deliveryYes fair point
But if you counted all the hours and expense just to sell direct, you would wonder is it worth it?

Link/ photo? Lack of clarity if he was advocating “selling” or “retail” - there is a very large difference!the quote i cited was dyson in the times paper on saturday ?
you mean he wants us to start looking at farming as a business, to actually make decent money out of what we grow... the man must be mental!i can see the point of selling direct, opening a farm shop if that could be an only option of keeping a bussness going, but i think where he lost the plot is hes looking at farming from a different direction ? theres a lot less worry ,work, call it what you will , to make money from letting buildings to small bussnesses like what i and almost all the farms round me do then messing about trying to make some extra money from selling some foodie type product, but then we are so lucky to do that ? like clarkson and dyson and other celebrity farmers who use the owning of land as a tax break , not their sole source of income, if farming the land you own or rent is your sole income the story then is totally different?
Genuine question, Do you market these? or do you have your regular customers?£1000 up per head on my highland lim cross bullocks for the sake of a few phone calls and a couple of days work delivery
Co-op used to have big farming operations which fed their retail arm, they gave it all (or at least most of it) up....SHOULD FARMERS, GROWERS HAVE TO RETAIL THEIR PRODUCE?

I did 10 beasts in 5 batches, first two I messaged a heap of folks and offered them a chance to get some, most said ok.Genuine question, Do you market these? or do you have your regular customers?
He probably started himself if his vacuum was his first invention and he had no money, but I bet he doesn’t go to curries or wherever they sell appliances and drop them off without knowing he’s making money on them, and for sure he will have the final say on the marketing when they come to him with their sales stuff.OK.

I hope he told Nobby to sod off though, fancy making Hoover's in a Dyson factory.OK. Does James do the marketing, or does he have a team working on it ?
Interesting point.
Say Dyson or Virgin and everyone immediately thinks of James or Beardie
They are the brand
