    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
  11. farmer_ben
    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.

    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??
  15. farmer_ben
    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

  18. farmer_ben
    how come your not buying any???? am definately interested, can he load if i bring a trailer up?
  19. farmer_ben
    where exactly?
  20. farmer_ben
    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

    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.
  23. farmer_ben
    mark, this is exactly how i like to chil out, bit of cooking with an ic cold bottle of lager, laptop on the worktop with some music and arbtalk on it

    winter barley was good, nothing cut over 14%, osr was yielding very well but moistures from 9 - 12.5% and wheat, nothing cut above 15%, mostly about 13.5 all yields on our heavy clay have been fairly good considering
