i thought Mr Dyson only made vacuum cleaners

[startinghandle]

I thought James Dyson only made vacuum cleaners.. but he is also the biggest landowner in the country and I was very surprised when he said he was not making any profit... as was just shown on countryfile

Classic Tom Heap... “aren’t you just doing this as a tax dodge!” Classic BBC!

I thought the reason he farmed was to not make a profit

 

[Pan mixer]

Bought too many new tractors to make a profit.

Thought it was good, a big farm using the latest methods and tech, looking after the enviro with top class staff and management.
But could not farm profitably within the current food price structure.
Be hard put to find a privately owned company working in any other industry doing that

You thought wrong.
He owns most of the Country looks like.
Liked bit he said "you can see how we reduce chemicals ",by looking at a min till osr planter .
That's just part of the growing process allegedly !

 

[Derrick Hughes]

What I have seen he is investing an awafull lot improving his farms .hedge planting all sorts of things .nice to see , and his straw is fantastic as well

It is a tax dodge, lets not fudge about here. Corbyn and co will be all over this.

 

[Lincs Lass]

Kind of ironic naming his ag business Rainbow Farms ,,hes maybe got his pot of gold from making vacuums but might be a long time waiting for the one to appear from farming

There were plenty of landed estates in the 19century much bigger than him some built up by Victorian industrialists most let their land to farmers
When death duties and agricultural free market came in in 1922 many had to sell chunks off
When Or if we have free market unsupported farming post the next election James dyson may be an asset for the farming industry
He has bought at the top of the market but only spent one years profit from Dyson

[cider_eater]

Tax Slipper!!
I have a feeling that Gove is aiming to push the average genuine farmer to follow J Dyson's systems !!
If Mr Dyson is struggling to make profit I think he should make a return
and play with toys in his own street!.

 

[Northeastfarmer]

He’s hoovering land up all over...

 

[Lincs Lass]

If hes not making a profit ,will he just have to suck it and see
