They could be far better,if just been ticking over on a building site.
totally agree social media is the way forward. Most people are on it for the hrsThe facts are out there but they get drowned out by the same old stuff being repeated over and over. I've said it before but the NFU need to get into the 21st century and put a media team on social media with a couple of dozen facts that could answer the misinformation once and for all.
At the moment they discourage engagement saying you won't win an argument with those people, that's nonsense.
Come on NFU. help us out.

No I never caught them in the act, coded key in a can am and they couldn't get it going they took 2 bikes from neighbours and left them in local woods, the bike was only just over a month old, we had the dipper man coming so I really needed the bike as well and they'd cut wires trying to hotwire it absolute scum of the earthDid you catch them in the act? There is nothing worse than starting your daily routine and finding it is not there....................just vanished without a trace. You then think maybe you left it somewhere else.......................and then that sinking feeling.
I’ve got a tidy jcb loadall for sale not far from you for 12.5kI agree totally that tractor loaders aren't a patch on one but you do pay for the privilege I've looked quite closely at secondhand ones after using a few different ones on places I've helped.
Someone quoted was it 98k for one
You need a lot of work for something like that.
A lot of stolen stuff round here ends up on a isolated local farm……They want feckin hanging, next fecker I catch I might rope the cxxt up an drag him down the tarmac a bit!! The powers that be are the ones to blame here for all this rural crime and crime in general, there’s no deterrent anymore, the scum just laugh at the police and that’s if they turn up! The last bunch we caught coming out of a house window, the police asked me what I thought they should do with them, if anything!! They re a f**king joke!!!!!!!!!
We had a farm like that locally………until they were caught.A lot of stolen stuff round here ends up on a isolated local farm……

We’ve had a few stolen we started locking them up a lot better on a night but they take them through the day nowNo I never caught them in the act, coded key in a can am and they couldn't get it going they took 2 bikes from neighbours and left them in local woods, the bike was only just over a month old, we had the dipper man coming so I really needed the bike as well and they'd cut wires trying to hotwire it absolute scum of the earth
Thing is when they get caught the sentences are ridiculous.We had a farm like that locally………until they were caught.
Farmer in South Devon caught someone trying to nick their quad at 1 am in the morning ( farm dogs barking like mad woke him up so went outside to see what they were barking at ) pinned the bloke to the ground, his wife called the police, said they had caught the thief and were holding him on the ground untill they ( the police ) got there to arrest the thief...We’ve had a few stolen we started locking them up a lot better on a night but they take them through the day now
You beat me to it, burn the fecker outMatches .
Getting bad here it’s like the Wild West there has been a death tooFarmer in South Devon caught someone trying to nick their quad at 1 am in the morning ( farm dogs barking like mad woke him up so went outside to see what they were barking at ) pinned the bloke to the ground, his wife called the police, said they had caught the thief and were holding him on the ground untill they ( the police ) got there to arrest the thief...
Police call centre told them to let the bloke go or they would be arrested for unlawful arrest.. farmers wife said no they would not let him go, police turned up about 30 mins later, let the thief go and arrested the farmer and his wife!
What happened there? It's bad when it gets to that stage.Getting bad here it’s like the Wild West there has been a death too
Shocking really the state of the police in the UK and the fact unless you are speeding/ driving a tractor hauling muck or a livestock box with a broken tail light then they do not want to know!Getting bad here it’s like the Wild West there has been a death too
Probably best not to go much further pretty unfortunate situation for all concernedWhat happened there? It's bad when it gets to that stage.

Same thing happed here , lad fund his two quads hidden in a wood coppers wouldnt lay the trap but took bikes for forensics and charged him to get them back , would have been as well just taking them home and telling the coppers .Had one stolen and left in a wood we managed to find it got the police here to hopefully catch them when they came back but they wouldn’t be on
