[QUOTE="B'o'B, post: 7687723, member: 491"] No I wouldn’t say that. We still paid rent and didn’t resort to catching and selling rabbits as a main source of income. A decent tractor was £15,000-20,000, fuel 9p/l and input costs could be kept in check but still be effective, it was difficult but not impossible to not loose money (as long as you didn’t have any borrowings). From the tales my Grandad used to tell the 1930s sounded like a very different thing, Edit. Thinking about it we moved to direct drilling in 2000 which saved us a lot on crop establishment and machinery compared to others so without that move things would have been tougher in the early ‘00s [/QUOTE]
