[QUOTE="JohnDeere8530, post: 8132210, member: 170"] I think having fuel as a separate entity is the only way forward, thinking about it there isnt that much difference between the farmer supplying his fertiliser and him supplying diesel. Fuel costs, that way are both fair and transparent How many of you have put your costs up substantially recently, after probably a hiatus of doing so? The trouble I see, there are always some that can do it for far less, or think they can until it comes time to change their machinery, or pay for a big repair. Its usually a farmer with a bit of spare capacity in his machine that thinks that his costs are minimal doing an extra bit of work for someone else. He forgets depreciation/wear and tear is linked closely to use and the sooner it wears out he will have to replace that machine for his own farm at a massive cost compared to when he bought his present machine say 15yrs ago. Forward thinking when costing out machinery has to be the key here [/QUOTE]
