What a coincidence, I'm making 20 ha and so is my brother next door. 
Shame I'm on the slightly bigger island to the east.

Paddy away ahead of the game as usual
Larry needs to keep beef cheap
Might as well send the cheque straight to the manufacturers,it's only going to help push the Price's up for everyone not just the ones getting the grant

Hopefully the scottish government will follow suit, need something similar, fertiliser, fuel, plastic, machinery cost to just fix not buy are crazy really. Can't go on. I, ll be seeing about getn 100 acre in trees if its 5 or 6 grand for upland ground in the central belt. Per acre. Only have a daughter, not intreasted, so just myself playing away at it, different if a teenage son.
