Haha, reading through your post I was thinking similar.

More to the point....I wonder if they'd like to have a go round mine..! The joys of having a lot of men on the ground - jobs like that don't take quite so long.

Well they are contractors ask em if they would like a big job in Gloucestershire.








All staff to bring a yard brush instead of a tractor

1300 Cows I think don't know what acres

 

[Steevo]

Website lists acreage farmed. I'd love to know more of the history though as website is quite limited.

They also do some contracting too.

@Gator might know.

I think I'm in the clear as they've diversified from farming so he won't be interested .

He was asked to go to Russia they were farming it for city money lots of potatoes beat wheat but locals always pee'd corruption everywhere wasn't going to well I don't think was in the middle of nowhere nice bloke new his stuff they pass here a lot with tanks on heading to west wales if you had men like him working for you jobs be done right

I think that is one of the things they're best known for.

Probably couldn't make it pay, no subsidies over there.

@ Bossfarmer

Whilst I assuming you're attempting to bait out a certain forum member I don't think lack of subsidies was the reason for pulling out
