[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7505573, member: 86168"] we have a friend, who was CEO of a very large helicopter business, selling machines world wide, visited while i was doing our 'iacs' claim form, he was interested, so explained it, his comment, ' l sell helicopters, all over the world, with less than 20% of that crap'. I many ways farming is lucky, however many people would like us to disappear, they cannot do without us.
