spraying conditions are the most important factor, if it was cloudy and chilly day then results can take ages. i always tend to spray our yards and paddocks in real hot conditions.

i've just had 1000 glossary postcards made up for my agricultural business and very happy with them and unlike flyers, i can address them personnally and write a note on the back if needed. was only £84 from printing.com going to get firewood ones made up this week too.

farmer_ben replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
so would you say by doing it that way, your preventing any issues where customers may question VAT etc? i did most of my sales like that last year £90 a load, breaks down to £85.50 and $4.50 VAT -

farmer_ben replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
your probably right, and i have a bookkeeper and accountant that makes sure all my sales are correct. but i havent advertised since being vat registered so was keen to know how others have do it. -
roughly speaking, everyone is making a quid!! i'd be interested in popping over one evening and seeing your set up egg. im probably over bures harvesting my wheat tomoro
-
i sell steves on again to farm shops.....and make a quid a bag. easy money for doing very little

Was asked a few times last year to build a log store for customers. Did a couple of but don't really have the time to build one from scratch each time. Anyone buy them in flatpack and erect at customers for them??
-
Do you VAT registered chaps include VAT in your advertised price or have a + vat price? Just wondering really as I hardly ever see any mention of VAT on any adverts, include some national firewood companies that most be VAT registered surely?! Do the general public expect to pay VAT on firewood, even though all my customers did last year!?!

I'm not being funny, but them nets of kindling and logs in the link look rough and untidy. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you'll have to try hard to beat Gensetsteve's kindling

Hi There, So sorry for your loss Cheers Ben
-
how come your not buying any???? am definately interested, can he load if i bring a trailer up?
-
where exactly?

i admit, my timber is stacked and then i process to order. I dont have the room or time to do it any other way. The other chap in my yard also does it same as me and it suits as well. There are certain lengths of timber that once split is really obvious its not fit to send out, so we put this split stuff into cages and leave it till end of the season. All the best

pretty sure farmers weekly ran an article about this a few weeks ago. search there website

yeah thats hows all us farmers make money on firewood :thumbdown::thumbdown: my firewood business is run totally seperate to my farm business and my contracting business. If it doesnt make money it doesnt carry on.
