No they are trying to keep their funding!

Have you took the exhaust off and checked the exhaust port?

Is the BT 400 4 mix? If so check the valve clearances. The 4 mix can be a pig to start hot

Makes the fence lighter for 1

Non don't sell any wood at all. Just think the principal is stupid. Would people still kiln dry in the uk if it was not subsidised?

That's true and good luck to you..... Still daft burning wood to dry wood!

I think the point is a good one in general though I don't know about specific trades. I think far too many people are doing the university thing for no other reason than that is what is expected these days! I can think of far better ways of spending £60K or more!!

46.5 this week for 5000l red

Hi not really thought about it! It needs stripping down and new rings or head gasket or both.I've not looked at it yet as I've had no time to get it out of the machine and stripped. It does run but it's burning oil fairly rapidly! Get in touch if interested and I'll send you the spec.

I've got a 23hp Kohler v twin that's knackered. Starter is fine though don't know if it will fit yours?

Maybe there could be some sort of sliding scale that falls to nothing based on either land size or production (though this is effectively the same thing). In this system you would receive just for example £100 per acre up to 200 acres then £75 per acre for the next 200 and so on. The figures would not work at those levels but the idea is possible. But if would never get through because of said massive farmer/landowners the NFU blah blah. The GDP thing is misleading in this instance IMO as without food no one would be productive workers. The subsidies also pale to insignificant figures when you start looking at other spending. [https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jan/08/uk-benefit-welfare-spending#data/URL] These are old figures but show what I'm getting at. The system is broken and needs rethinking. How much money is spent on defence? You could argue for cutting right back on that so we could not go bombing people in arguably illegal wars!

Is this not because most of these houses have to have people who work in agriculture living in them making them worth less than houses without these stipulations?

PRoW are fine if the hikers keep to them. They often think it's a good idea to walk straight across a crop. That a fact like it or not

Your right lets build cheap houses over all the farmland and let the immigrants live there instead😁

How do they know that without coming out to you? Sorry to hear this though!

Are those timbers set in concrete or just buried? How long does this stuff take to do? Look tidy

True but how many of these new builds even have a chimney?!

In my mind the government are in a position to help with brexit coming. They could and should have some import taxes on food coming in from abroad. Which in theory at least would raise prices. Going some way to Negating the need for subsidies. I think we can agree that food production is something that needs to be protected.

Why is he impacting anyone else? He is selling his products stating what they are. You should concern yourself with your own offering imo

He's not trolling anyone! If he's advertising by moisture content he's telling no lies. It's just a different way of selling that you obviously disagree with.

Ask the neighbour for half the quoted price and do it yourself!

I quoted £66 per m last week for 10m run of 6ft feather edge last week. Not heard back so too much I guess. Nasty site hence high price normally about £52 per m

I think your quote from earlier may ring true as in we are on the same side weirdly!!!! However the starving bit is true like it or not unless we import everything which can't be a good idea I think everyone can see that. As a nation we can't feed ourselves now which is a sad state of affairs and very damaging with brexit coming. Yes the intensive farming does the land no good. As for the VAT flat rate at 6%(?) is this not calculated on the cost of the rebated VAT you would get if you were on normal rates? Genuine question as I don't know!

Enough to live on?

Depends how much land doesn't it!
