[QUOTE="onesiedale, post: 8366852, member: 13510"] It is the 100k slurry store that will be the elephant in the room for a lot of dairy farmers in the near future. Especially tenant dairy farmers. IMHO the grants to be offered on them will be an even bigger elephant - a white one! It will suck people in to spending money they haven't got on CapEx that isn't needed and certainly will not give a return on capital spent. . ...but that is a completely different discussion. When growing the business we took out 2 large (for us) loans over 10 and 15 years. That was for cows and field infrastructure. This coming year we will see the back of them. 😊 5 years ago we invested in a brand new parlour and dairy facility. Rightly or wrongly, we achieved that over a 2 year period completely out of cashflow. It was a lean two years, but at least we know now that everything here is bought and paid for. That takes a lot of risk out of the job. [/QUOTE]
