Access is ok until you get onto site. Outbound lorries do a lap round the building, In bound I can't remember.

It works, like I said big isn't always beautiful and they have invested a lot in past few years.

Their milk field is compact, just like the factory

Compact and they can pick, choose and cherry pick

I winter hoggs on a dairy farm in Shropshire they get 30p with arla mind you they need it I'd say its a father and son team with a workman 4 days a week he reckons 150 cows is a full time job for 2 without the tractor work and everything else they start half 5 in the morning and finish half 6 at night but always seems quite there during the day

Sounds like they’re doing very well .
Similar but slightly different to here, I have a few more cows, me and a part time going on full time worker, 3 p less on milk price and whilst I might moan about the job now and again, I’m a long way from poverty.

At 33 years old I’m yet to see a poor farmer, go to any farmers meeting at your local pub or golf club and the car park is always full of high end 4x4’s. For all the EUs faults as a sector we’ve done alright since the war.

Don`t forget the old saying, - "You can not see the balance sheet looking over the hedge"

You do not get a fancy truck unless you can pay for at least some of it though, true poverty is something that’s alien to all of us. There’s a difference between tightening your belt and not being able to put food on the table.

Why not have a new pick up it’s not a luxury it’s a work horse.

I suspect he means Range Rovers

 

[Bennyhill]

A lot of the pickups and truck will be on finance so having the top end spec probably does not make much difference to your monthly payment,and it maybe your only transport private use as well but dose not mean you can afford it.

 

[Farmer Keith]

By all means have one that was not my point, plenty have a upto date pickup and a Range Rover or equivalent for running around to meetings, which is not an issue, unless of course you sit in the aforementioned meeting and plead poverty. Not saying everyone does it but we’ve all seen it.

.....that you spend sensibly and bought a farm instead?

Hopefully my battered old passat will afford me a farm one day.

As always. We all prioritise, but as it Is tiresome when you go to a milk meeting and the most vocal ones come in their jags and discoveries!
