[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 7836405, member: 615"] Industrialisation Why pay a man a wage to deafen and cripple himself inside a Davy Broon 995? Buy this bigger tractor, bigger plough, bigger overdraft, and increase productivity But now you've sacked the worker, it doesn't make sense to own all this kit, coz the contractor will do it cheaper than the finance on your own stuff.... This seeming exponential increase of machinery prices is just the next stage of industrial development; the family farm reliant upon contractors won't be profitable enough to pay the annual fees, and farms will get bigger, or go under. Progress Machinery replaces the people working the land, and the people get to "enjoy" an urban life of luxury 👍 [/QUOTE]
