[QUOTE="bankrupt, post: 7027408, member: 42770"] I once bought one lot of 800 acres of SB straw at £33/ acre in today's money, baled it, carted it and stacked it all up waiting for the winter to come. This was autumn 1962, and by Christmas it was all sold to our usual friendly merchant for an attractive sum which was then enough to buy at least three cottages in the local village, possibly four. On Boxing Day 1962 it got all completely snowed up for 13 weeks with no access then possible and, given the ice and snow damage suffered, on Easter Monday 1963 we set fire to all 56,000 bales. :hungover: :hungover: [/QUOTE]
