yes land is easier bought when milk price is low. you'll get used to the 7 fat years and the 7 famine years in milk production when you're over 50.
ps mot pass this evening
Congratulations,my pickup failed on six points today. Did you know,if your vehicle has indicator lights on the wing mirrors they must be working even though I have front and back indicators? Also, a piece of branch with some cloth wrapped around it is not classed as a sealed fuel cap? They’ve got very particular.

He’s not exactly wrong tbf looked at both companies before leaving who we were with and df bonuses harder to get
Plus he said df charge for haulage at half a penny. All said n done there all pretty much the same. He said theyr dumping milk in america and i also heard lakeland is rentin sheds to store powder in atm as it cant be all sold. He also said the interest rate is wreckin it as normally in cheaper times traders would buy product and hold it hoping to cash in when it improves but money is costing too much currently
