Exactly. It’s all relative for it’s time.

A neighbour who used to make bats for us pitched up in August 1976 with his new P reg MF 575. Our Fords had deluxe cabs whilst our uncle used to buy them with the standard cab. We thought the deluxe cab was luxury but the Massey with a heater/ blower and power steering was something else.We didn’t get a Q cab until 1981 a Ford 6600 though it was luxury compared to the 5000 .it was that hot without air con we took the doors of at silage time

You must be very young. I’ve seen substantial drops in prices periodically over the last 50 years and prices frozen at the same level for a decade or more. However there is no sign of this happening currently and in Welsh milk fields the price may rise somewhat over the next couple of years due to the need of dairy farms to maintain or increase output but needing to extensive by sourcing more land in order to do so, due to slurry and punitive N fertiliser regulations. Dumping slurry on someone else’s land carries the unacceptable risk that if TB were to strike, it stops export of slurry dead. Also there is little arable land in the Welsh milk field. So £15k to £20k/acre land, especially if it includes extra slurry storage, may well be here soon.

And to think abattoir waste from a slaughter house that kills TB reactors..was being spread on a farm locally...and a few neighbouring farms went down with TB... Different rules for us and them?
Former neighbour of mine . 3 of us retired as tenants at the same time. His machinery was second to none and often looked brand new . Changed his combine regularly and the story goes that when someone went to view the one he was part exchanging , rang the dealer to ask where it was as thought it was his new one in the shed.

In the uk land prices fell 1980 1600 an acre late 1980s 2000 an acre by 1992 1100 less than it made in 1980 and was refrained in 1981
big blocks 1500 acres could be had for 1million in 1992 interest rates were a lot higher then hitting 16%
In 1890 180 an acre in 1925 could not get a buyer because those that bought in the early 1920s had gone bust the price did not get above 180 till 1960s
uk population increased fast in the 1950 and 1960s
