Best Plough ive ever seen was at Groundswell!
Yes ive spotted a picture of that one, what strikes me about that is how wasteful and indulgent an excersise it is , anyone who didnt have loads of money wouldve resourcefully sold it not wasted time and money digging a hole in some childish attempt at looking clever.

In selling ,it (f they are so flush with funds they dont need anymore) at least they could give the money to a charity to do some actual good.

Don't you know that everything grows bigger and better when it's direct drilled?
- that plough was only a single furrow when they planted it.

That Strikes me as being very wasteful .

I don't have the money to be able to waste it like that, in that case, if i had a plough i didn't want any longer then it would be sold and the money put to some other use.

I think you are being a bit precious about this, there are far worse examples of pointless waste in this country every single day! That said a plough like that would still be being used on my farm….

They say there's no such thing as bad publicity. That picture has got them some coverage on here and how many of you have googled the name on the flag just to see what they're about?
