I say you would be amazed by the amount (particularly older farmers) who don't lodge cheques for ages. I know in my case working part time I don't get to the bank as often as I wished and was holding a cheque for over a week after I received it in the post. Then there are other reasons like estates of deceased persons etc. Make no mistake this is a money saving exercise and EFT would ruin this for them.
