As a Christmas gift my family paid the subscription to FG for me. Still no FG or even the toy tractor,anybody else facing similar problems ? Even a couple of telephone calls have produced no results,but monies have been withdrawn from the account in question.

I cancelled my subscription a few months ago. You're not missing a hell of a lot tbh.

 

[Anonymous...]

Same as @GTB I cancelled, ironically just had them on phone asking why I won’t renew, the very fact they are mithering me is one reason

 

[Andy54]

Cancelled ours last year but strangely enough was bought today's copy to have a look at. Nowt's changed, take out the adverts/classified and there's sod all left

We used to subscribe to the FG and it was supposed to come on a Friday but it got so often it didn't turn up until Monday.
When they wanted to put the price up I tried to do a deal with the bloke that rang up, arguing that I shouldn't pay full price for old news.
He wasn't having any of it so he lost a sale.

Sadly that's no longer easily possible.

I would get the money refunded instead!

Definitely gone downhill since it went glossy . Can't even light the fire with it now. Going the same way as FW which I stopped 4 years ago. Don't think I will renew this time.

The news is all old (you here it here first), and the so called technical articles are just a rehash of the companies who advertise with it sales blurb.

I subscribed to the Scottie farmer today. C wat it’s like for 12 months!

Just an update; The FG has now started to arrive usually on a Saturday.The toy tractor that was supposed to be part of the package has still NOT arrived,not very impressed with the mag as it seems to be around 80% advertising. It still has a very northern bias for us arable folk in Norfolk.

The Scottish farmer, l stopped getn it, every week the headline is doom and gloom, then headline, bull sells for 80 grand. Really expensive and pain in the Ass columnists , who probably get 100 grand plus sub . All talk no action.

I can tell you it does not take them long to stop your account when you stop subscribing.
Seems it takes longer to get you on the system than off it.

When I was "home" for Christmas and basically idling about I thought I would enjoy reading whilst partaking of my son's ample stocks of whisky.

I spent about 5 mins looking at both FG and FW in a shop, some "country" magazines too. I was well down England - Derbyshire, so no Scottish Farmer to compare. I decided neither FG or FW were worth the money. I accept that adverts are necessary to enable such small circulation magazines to survive, but I want to see a reasonable amount of articles too. I felt neither had sufficient to warrant buying the magazine.

The non-ag magazines were better, but the prices were too high to prise my money out of my pocket.

Get my free dairy farmer and British dairying and farmer free ads and that's enough reading material for the week. +agritrader [emoji1303]

Mmmmm.
Cancelled sub. When Ali Driver left.

But missed the weekly crossword and was tempted by £1 off each issue offer which ends - note ENDS - at midnight tonight. Tried to fill in the form and it comes up ‘offer now ended’.
Thanks a bunch. I know the clocks were altered but it was 9.15 not berluddy midnight.
