[QUOTE="MrNoo, post: 7549437, member: 2767"] Been some quite big outfits around here that have all the gear and 000's of acres contract farmed, they dont seem to last long, know of two that have shut up shop and was only speaking to someone today who was talking about taking on another 650ac (after the new contractors have been given the boot), he asked if I was interested and to be honest I wouldnt touch it with a bargepole even if they paid me. The BG is so bad I pity the next lot that take that on, when you hear about some of these large outfits spraying Atlantis/Hatra twice in a season, a) the landowner wont be making any money as all spent on chems b) doing that sort of thing is asking for trouble c) that land is never going to make any money due to the BG in it, paying rent and trying to sort out someone else's mess out just doesnt stack up, even more so with the loss of SFP. My reply to him was I will be quite happy watching from my side of the hedge. [/QUOTE]
