With money being in short supply owing to the problems with our banking system, I often wonder who will buy all these "new houses" should they ever be built. This is a question which I raise on a regular basis and so far no one has given me a satisfactory answer. Nobody can even tell me a specific price range for affordable housing as this appears to vary from area to area. Where do you go from here? |

I just thought, The fields at Dorset are stubble for quite a lot of it, I wonder if the compaction of the ground causes the farm any issues? That said the use of the land and rent probably far outweighs the drop in productivity due to Ground Compaction. No need to go min/no till on that farm. :-) Cheers Dave

Interesting thought that, Dave. I don't know the answer, but I have a meeting down at the GDSF office on Monday.......

By the time of the summer when GDSF takes place, by the normal turn of events the ground should normally be quite hard after a long hot summer. In that respect I don't think that by having the engines on the land that it would cause a problem.

A change of tack about GDSF.
What do people think will be in attendance this year? will it be a themed year again? what new engines should be at GDSF and which ones will be making their first appearances after a lengthly period of restoration? |

I thought this forum was for 'Show Reports' and as such surely this would be simply photo's of events and discussions surrounding the photo's / the event.
Not stupid irrelevant comments posted for ones humour. JR summed it up perfectly - attention seeking. Back onto the subject of Dorset, fantastic photo's David as always, was a pleasure to finally meet you (I do apologize for being rather blunt at first, the book you showed me was very interesting.) With regards Dave's comments, I think you hit the nail on the head there - 'That said the use of the land and rent probably far outweighs the drop in productivity due to Ground Compaction.' I have been told (from an unknown source) that even if the crops are not ready for harvest the farmer will still ensure the fields are ready in time. |
