[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7332839, member: 86168"] agree, luckily all the land we are looking at, is nearly next door, 16acres is next door, with a gate between ! Dairy is different to beef/sheep, in so much as we need a 'stockpile' of winter fodder. In that case, i would rather 'import' forage from 'outside' and bring the p+k etc in, and allow the 'base' to benefit from that. We have done the hauling distance stuff, it gets expensive, or so we assume, we had a block of 50 acres, rented, 9 miles away, now sold, but because it was nearly main road, gate to gate, trailor rate was 5 mins longer, than my neighbour travelling 2 miles through the lanes ! I regard 'home' as the base, other is a relief valve. [USER=63856]@Kiwi Pete[/USER] , and the new ELMS, what should be the 'ideal' theory, will be buggered up by civil servants, who have an idealistic view of what the country side should look like, and the rules and regulations, will completely miss the target, some of those people, and a fair chunk of population, think we still wear smocks, and go around with a bit of straw between our lips ! The reality, is that we are a very exciting vibrant industry, caring for our land and livestock, far more than the national health. An industry that is technically advanced, highly mechanised, (well some of them) which is reviewing how we produce, and why, our products, this thread proves that. The basic fact, is that how we farm, dictates whether we continue farming, or fall by the wayside, it has to be profitable. [/QUOTE]
