Works both ways tho, contractor who dosen't have a farm at home can be out at it 24/7, the farmer contractor has his own work to look after as well & has the delima of which to look after most, used to be a saying make a pound on the country & loose 2 at home.Contractors rates have never really been enuff & yes they will have too go up
What a lot of folks dont consider is the true contractor isnt a farmer & doesnt pick up any SUB on his work like the farmer does.
All farmers who go out contracting have a huge advantage to the man who doesnt have a Farm
NAAC rates aint where they should be neither.
Plenty of that goes on for sure, have even heard of more than 1 year being owed.Well as COP says earlier you can’t run a business without cash flow. I heard years ago of some farmers allegedly paying for last seasons silage making when the contractor arrives the following season. 12 months credit!! Suicide!
Then they have the problem, do I do it again this year & hope to get paid, or cut the losses & run? Then someone else get's in & maybe get's the same, or do they get "your" money?
If only they would all stick together, put the word out that Jimmy down the road is bad money then nobody would touch his work.....but somebody would chance it.
