Looks like the thread was a good call then dispute the criticismwhat legal case ?
I’ve digested replies here and the. constructive replies some have offered will influence how i sell straw in the future if indeed i sell straw again at all
the thread had prompted a meeting tomorrow…….. one at which i hope a cheque book will be present !
i certainly don't think it is acceptable. always paid bills on a monthly basis and got the same in return. if i was waiting 5mths for payment i would go and see the guy and not leave till i had the cash in my hand. but i'm retired so probably out of touch.amazed frankly how many seem to think paying your bills 5 months late is in anyway acceptable
Depends if you think that advertising to the world that you are a soft touch is a good thing.Looks like the thread was a good call then dispute the criticism
It don't do ones status much good shouting from the roof tops I'm an idiotDepends if you think that advertising to the world that you are a soft touch is a good thing.
I don’t think that is a great idea, many auction buyers are those that cannot keep a relationship with a farmer year on year through not doing what they promised. Surely you have some up that way with a good reputation for baling it as soon as it if fit, then moving it promptly and paying when a request is made.lesson learnt though - auction sales from now on or chopper on as its just not worth it
And why would he want someone coming on the farm with a baler who he may not know , could make hell of a messI don’t think that is a great idea, many auction buyers are those that cannot keep a relationship with a farmer year on year through not doing what they promised.

By reputation I said. Farmers generally deal with people who have been recommended by their farming friends.And why would he want someone coming on the farm with a baler who he may not know , could make hell of a mess
I was meaning if he sold by Auction , he will have no control on who gets itBy reputation I said. Farmers generally deal with people who have been recommended by their farming friends.

It was not a neutral venue.What happened ,did you not make a compelling enough case ?
this is true, its not a game i would want to be in.A couple of hundred years ago, lots of smaller farmers got evicted as farms got bigger, and if they couldnt afford to emigrate, they became straw merchants or “ men of straw” which became a nickname for someone with almost no money eking out a precarious existence.
Nothing has changed.
you should have called him out for a duel at a neutral place of your choosingIt was not a neutral venue.
I don't know about that,this is true, its not a game i would want to be in.
The most local straw auction too Clive also doesn’t really attract any buyers from Clive’s area, apart from the merchant in question… I might buy a few acres if he puts it in auction since it’s local too me then send the merchant in question too bale it for meI was meaning if he sold by Auction , he will have no control on who gets it
