So this is the question.
Up until a few years ago a few grand on a shed or a sheep pen or even some shiny new equipment to make the jobs easier would be tempting to improve efficiency or at least a bit of expansion to help turnover.However I’m feeling more and more that I can’t see the reasoning in spending a chunk of money at all on anything big to maybe improve farm capacity/output.
The food industry in general only seem to want the cheapest food and will source it from anywhere even if it is a factory producing fungal slime.
In fact the only way forward I’m seeing is reducing investment and reducing costs and importantly also reducing output.
Apart from the dairy industry which seems to be doing quite well what are other people’s thoughts?
