[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 7208176, member: 430"] It’s a sad state of affairs. Rather than tackling why things are happening, many looking in from the outside seem to want to take action to assign responsibility to others (hence such schemes etc). A trend of modern society. Personally I think we’d all love to be driving round in perfectly serviced machines, everything done just so, all trailers checked annually by a professional to give us peace of mind, fully trained operators with many years experience, experts called in for this that and the other, machines changed after 5000hrs as a routine etc. It would make the job significantly less stressful for farmers themselves. All and sundry will work out the costs of growing a crop of wheat.....but by the time you’ve added on all these extras these industry figures are irrelevant. Not only that, but even if jobs are outsourced they still take a lot of time to organise/manage/check. A modern farm is anything but simple these days. 1001 things to sort, 1001 places to get tripped up. Even turning the lot over to fixed price contractors doesn’t guarantee everything is done right or make the industry safer - I’d suggest contractors are likely responsible for just as as many if not more road accidents than farmers.
