[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 3909570, member: 42308"] A big +1 to that ^^^ Apologies for putting this up again (it was on the Wool thread over in Livestock and Forage some time ago), but it never ceases to amaze me and just highlights how important agriculture has been to our economy in history. This is a page from [USER=66890]@Mrs Y B[/USER]'s family wool book for 1797.. [ATTACH=full]531962[/ATTACH] It takes a bit of deciphering, but the bottom line is that the wool from 419 sheep was sold for £110/7s/3d. If you type that amount into a Googled money converter on the internet it tells you that it equates to somewhere between £127,000 and £177,000 in today's money. How times have changed:inpain: [/QUOTE]
