    Yeah, but have you factored in the opportunity cost of not selling it to the beef enterprise because I own my land and may or may not have an opportunity cost.

    Maybe I'd be better off keeping half the beet for my own beef enterprise and selling the rest to a dairy farmer down the road who owns one farm with a huge opportunity cost and rents another farm with no opportunity cost.

    Would sheep be better than beet? :confused:

    You would have to be the biggest sheep farmer in the country. Otherwise you're just thick. You can't be both!!!

    Spent afternoon unblocking the Keenan hape of muck. 6 mth after it blocked, well it freed up a shed as I returned it to its owner

    Remind me not to lend you anything again.

    At least you kept it inside.

    I had forgotten who had taken it. I had to buy a new one.:mad:

    Came across this and thought of you Con. Much stronger and classier than a poly tunnel. Dipping tank included.

    Did he own it himself or was it part of a co op of local farmers. Was out there a few years ago and they were all proclaiming this was the way to go. To be fair they had lovely new machinery but don't know how it work if the weather was going to break.?

    Great whiskey by the way.

    Naw owned it himself. What you're talking about is a GAEC I would think. Most farms here are small and they gang together to get a bit of scale. It works well. No problems with machines as the GAEC owns them. The GAEC is a farming partnership. Often amazed on here with the fear and aversion of farming partnerships. The farm I bought was actually a GAEC of 7 farms.

    Actually you have me the idea. A while ago you were saying that your boss uses ground pto to unblock the feeder. That was my eureka moment. Borrowed neighbours 188 today and rocked her a fee times and voilà.
