Well it's something that crossed my mind .....not doing it cos a, I have no staff and b, not an arable farmer ,but I did wonder would it happen ........biggest worry to the employer that does it would be 'who on earth will check the grain store / spud store while they are off skiing !😄....furloughed staff back on 'cash in the hand' perhaps .

Flicking down his feed and see a new grain store, an electric Porsche but doesn’t want to pay his staff ??

Jealousy isn't very becoming. A grain store isn't likely to have been built based on this year's business profits, it will be a long term capital investment. As to the fancy cars, so what? Does it matter what someone chooses to spend their personal money on? I doubt even @Clive could manage to get that one through as a farm truck.

Certainly not jealousy, I see a successful business and one which is presumably profitable with projects on the go but doesn’t want to keep staff involved or employed with it which seems odd to me...
