[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7541052, member: 818"] It wouldn't, because any rise in profits is transitory, one can't rely on them being there in the longer term. What is needed is many years of sustained profitability at a level that will allow the fabric of the farm to be invested in, plus prices that rise as the input costs rise. As it stands one can have a good year, because prices are up, the next they are on the floor or the weather has decimated output. No-one is going to spend wildly just because they've had one good year. It would take a sustained and reliable rise in profitability for people to start thinking 'You know what I can afford that new cherry picker/cattle handling system/whatever, as I'm making good money every year now'.
