Great idea, looks great fun

I admire them totally for this.......I don't quite understand it though.

1. Cost of wrapping a combine must be HUGE
2. Probably reduces its used value too
3. They are then donating £1/ac cut (I assume as contractors), despite all the above costs.

I recognise that it's a highly effective thing to do for raising awareness etc. I'm not entirely sure about it as a fundraising idea though - surely a £1/ac donation plus the cost of wrapping would have been a more logical donation?

Are they hoping it will drum up extra business too?

Not knocking it at all - just trying to understand the reasoning behind it a little more.

Maybe claas paid for the wrap. It may be a season hire
