I want people to tell me now, honestly. Do you believe any of this constitutes progress in any respect? Ignore the trailer manufacturing part but when I read in the press about the decline of family farms and industrial sized units replacing them, I can't help but thing we are on a hiding to nothing.
But enough of that. Who were the ones complaining the UK doesn't manufacture anything these days? There you have it, a family business manufacturing high spec trailers.
He's employing people though, either directly on his farms on indirectly with all the outside contractors/suppliers he uses. Ok so its not small farming families but its still families (are farming families more important?) that can make a living because of what he's investing into the business.
I think he's doing a great job and should be encouraged, a sight better than some 'family farms' that employ no one and invest nothing, while the place gets more run down and unproductive.
