Confor?

Anyone been to the Confor show? Any pictures? What was your opinion? Where did you see it advertised?

Shame so wet! A mud bath by time we left. Not sure We would drive all this way again, much smaller than I thought. Conversations with other contractors pretty depressing, there is no money to be made in small scale forestry, which is supposed to be an area that needs to grow. It won't grow if woodland owners can't afford/ won't pay contractors enough money to run a business! I don't think that all the money made available in grants is filtering down to the contractors, they are getting paid less and have so much more expected of them than ever with machine running costs, labour, training, Health & Safety accreditation etc.
