Unusual business model

[solo]

Just been sent this. I didn't realise running a combine was so cheap or maybe the straw is going to be dear. I would like to see how the business model stacks up

 

[goodevans]

That business model would certainly work in Devon at the initial auction prices and probably justify a monster Fendt

Combine it, and drill it…

Have seen posts on his Facebook in the past advertising maize drilling for £10 an acre with £1 acre extra for fert with full Gps and section control

 

[Wilberforce]

Somebody up North offering the same on Sell My Livestock. Then again contact Combining @£35/acre, standing Wheat Straw @£65/70/acre ...........

He’s a new start up contractor with a lot of new equipment.

Combining about £34 acre, straw worth at last double that .
At least you’d know he’d be cutting it low

That’s just the tip of the iceberg on expenditure

Obviously both parties will be exchanging appropriate invoices to make sure the VAT man doesn't miss out.

He'll drive so fast there'll be more grain going over the back than into the tank!

For the rats.
bl***dy nightmare with grain left in the straw, no need for them to leave the heap to feed so won,t take poison.

 

[Still Farming]

Does it work with late sown spring Barley combined in November???

Be interested for the linseed.

No VAT on straw for stock. VAT for contract work paid but claimed back. Not much in it for the VAT man.
