[QUOTE="7610 super q, post: 6232570, member: 6448"] Costs. That's an interesting one. The only known cost is the inspection itself. I must spend at least 3 days on pointless paperwork ( chem store record, and another duplicate in the store itself, etc ) How do I value that ? any other industry would charge at least £20 / hour. The biggest issue is the hassle factor. I've a small shed which passes for long term storage, but it's low, and can only tip grain out of 4 ton trailers. So by October, if the grain isn't sold, I cart it from the temporary store and move it to the other shed, then cart it back again when a wagon is due ( temp store is large enough to load wagons inside in wet weather ). In practice, the last few years, I just sold the grain post harvest... As it happens last season, the price was best post harvest. Normally you'd expect at least £10 / ton less ? You could argue this is a cost ? TBH, I pass fairly easily. My main bone of contention is what's in store for the future ? MOT's and certificates for fert spreaders and drills have been mentioned. What else is in store ? One new rule requiring a major spend could finish me. [/QUOTE]
