[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 4311430, member: 54866"] I have discussions like this from time to time. Farmer has X acres of the roughest old pasture you can imagine, thistles as tall as me. Me: 'that land there, fekked innit? You don't want to me putting expensive fertiliser on that' Farmer: 'yeah it's tired but [add random excuse for not reseeding]' Me: 'OK, so it's knackered. I know what you can do. Let farmer Y grow wheat on there, you take the straw as payment, he grows the crop and harvests it. He will have to plough, have to control all those weeds (very easy in wheat with modern chemistry) and sort the combining himself. All you have to do is arrange a baler and collect the bales up. Afterwards, you will have a clean stubble and can scratch some seed in, easy' Farmer: 'oh oh oh oh [insert random lame excuse here]' It's only pride getting in the way. [/QUOTE]
