the high cost of machinery, bears little resemblance to the price of our product, and isn't really viable, we just make it work, because we have to.
once SFI, kicks in, it has removed any sub on production, stupidity from the guv, but great for farmers. As soon as production falls, machines last longer, demand for new kit will fall.
then, ag suppliers of all things ag, will face tough times, many won't make it, am l worried, not really, there are too many living off the back of farming, the amount of them, indicates there are rich pickings from ag.
when it comes down to survival of the fittest, value for money/service might come into it. All round, the UK and EU policy of greening, will bite them in ass, but its great for us.

The steel & energy prices has shot up, these manufacturers have no other way out, I feel so sorry for them . They're trying their best to manufacturer good products in this country, employing staff who need paying through the quiet difficult patches where sales are low due to the crap weather/SFI etc. There's no offer of help for them from the government to tide them over. Sunak would probably say there's nothing in the pot, yet have no problem finding some for housing for migrants
Steel might have gone up but the price of trailers has about doubled in not many years.

the sooner people/politicians realise there isn't such a thing as a money tree, the better, and learn to accept lower public services, because guv cannot fund them.
we are at the start of societal breakdown, to many are living without enough money, to cover their debts, a proportion by their own fault, but many more through no real fault of their own.
can the next guv do any better than this one ? Very much doubt it, countries heavily in debt, so there just isn't the money to carry out their promises.
on illegal migrants, every thing guv has tried, has brought howls of protest, and challenged in court. The only way to stop/reduce it, is to make it less attractive to come to the UK, how the feck you do that, with such opposition,
Steel, energy, wages, rates, among others, hardly surprising the prices shot up.
