Good report once again. Liked the table showing machinery purchases over the years. Some blasts from the past and even saw you run Simca vans also- least said about them the better! Very informative and I don't think there's a cereal farmer in the land that doesn't regret not selling more of the 2014 crop forward.

Looking forward to next years!

I always like to see the machinery/infrastructure/staffing changes over the years of the reports. Do you envisage staff numbers rising as livestock increase David?

The stock seem to fit your farming, and you have a shepherd, is he any good with cattle? (Ps I'm a rubbish stockman too, but only have b&b pigs)
Don't really have a shepherd, our sheep man just buys to cover crops off us and then disappears when he's done. Quite good really! Need another 200 cattle then I can justify someone clever to look after them.

Good report, blackgrass aspect is interesting as regards to it nearly being obsolete to returning with a vengeance, to me this shows what a small population can turn into...
