Cost of new Macdon header compared to new conventional header.
I must say I am asking the above question out of general interest, rather than a serious buyer. A farm near me had a new CNH combine for this season and the manager said the Mac Don 30ft header they had with it was £134,000, sounds a lot of money but then I thought how much would the... -

There's a guy works down the chip shop...
says he is paying £18 for a 25kg bag of spuds. A quick search shows that in 1960 a cwt of King Edwards delivered was 25 shillings, so 75p for 25kg (if my maths is right ? happy to be corrected ) . So, for those who understand inflation and stuff, were spuds cheaper in 1960 or today ? My...- delilah

The urge to grow
Warning: some elements of this post are a bit of a rant. I think many if not all farmers assume that they need to grow their business.
