[QUOTE="Explorer, post: 5699286, member: 114470"] Childish remarks about tidy farms let’s try and get back to the subject In hand. There are other factors which have to be brought into the cost. The amount of paperwork involved from the contractors point of view is pretty immense. Lots of invoicing for quarterly charges. Moling, hedging, water for ur sprayer as most fill from there home base. Trying to split loads, work cap free loads, and keeping things separated using your grainstore is a nightmare. 3 crop rules, fine but small 100 acre farms you can easily end up tracking about After 30 acres per crop. Contractors meetings are quarterly, and will last 2 hrs each time. Keeping sprays separately from your own and the packaging so they pay to dispose of there own materials. Time speant negotiating as to who pays what. Its decided to avadex a field but need it applying by a contractor as u don’t have applicator. Is it a separate pass paid by farmer or is it part of the contractors charge so you pay? Order seed or fertiliser but because it doesn’t fall right u have to overorder or skimp, usually you overorder then spend a day explaining to the know all agent why you had to do it this way to be shot down in flames that it could have been done other ways. Drying charges are another thing they always expect there crops in dry and they want you to pay to dry yours! Generally it’s more hassle than it’s worth. For £100/acre il sit on somebody else’s tractor and when it suits me il pull the stopper. [/QUOTE]
