What’s the point in straw merchants?

Poor seed ?


No deep cultivation 😕
Torrential rain after drilling wet soil
No frost until Christmas - massive bvd especially in barley and oats
Rushing to buy a drill to get out of a jam, a good drill but for his situation had huge wide rows - in the rush I used it that way and that made all the above worse.

I was chuffed to park the combine 👍

Be the same for everybody though won’t it.
No that's the point .
I load in 23 counties remember like a lot of merchants . I still have a fair bit to go at .
I value my customers and my suppliers. Loyalty working both ways
I feel sorry for those farmers who don't have a regular merchant or there local farmer who had none as they are paying a small fortune at these Auctions
