But I've said that already ....lots of times.. .and repeated the questions.
Next course of action is to tell the possible people he is inferring the claims about.
Might see one of them in the pub tonight.

He did pm me , threatening to sue me for defammation , :D I believe he's well versed in the legal proceedure . :oops:

How are straw for muck deals going to work out this year?

Established ones will mean one party will loose out vs the other I should think.

I like the idea in principle and have a potential deal in the offing but probably not this year.

I do a long standing one, and will be giving away about 100 acres worth of wheat straw, which is potentially £8/10ks worth this year, but get it all back in pig muck, which is a good ratio of muck to straw, ie_ not strawy stuff.
Couldn't grow decent crops without it, especially maize.
I also get slurry as part of the deal , spread for free, so will run with it .
