[QUOTE="balerman, post: 9037982, member: 328"] Agreed,the percentage of most people’s income that goes on food is tiny compared to say 30 years ago. Farmers have got left far far behind in terms of income,in fact it hasn’t really changed much in those 30 years,yet look at our costs. A new 16t silage trailer is around £30k now,in the 90s it would have been under £10k,tractors have gone up even more,albeit with much more technology on board. We are doing well to even survive given all this. [/QUOTE]
