[QUOTE="7610 super q, post: 6599080, member: 6448"] Well, the fact remains, there's 1000's of acres more grown than there used to be. That means more mud on the roads, and peeved members of the public. Spuds and beet have been brought up on this thread, I'd say the area grown of these crops has remained static, if not fallen. 50 years ago 10,000 acres of spuds were grown in Pembrokeshire, all earlies, job done and dusted by July. Now the area has shifted to maincrop.....along with harvesting in mud in October. And while we're at it, small scale growers planted in a fortnight, and ditto harvesting. Now it's in the hands of big growers who take months to plant huge acreages, which means late harvests waiting for skins to set..... Modern farming really is pants. Just because it's all done from aircon tractors with twin beacons doesn't make it right. Nice rant there [USER=6448]@7610 super q[/USER] :cool::D [/QUOTE]
