Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    To be honest, it’s all a load of ****e!

    Those with high payments want to keep them - fcuk it, why not. I have high payments per Ha, I’d like tho keep them...

    Those without, want some. Again, fcuk it, why not - why shouldn’t they get some of the action...

    And there it is - there is no right and wrong, good and bad, it’s just haves and have-nots... depending on where you fall, that will determine your perspective...
    Fair enough point but i see teachers strick because of equal pay for equal work,maybe us marginal farmers should cry the same

    Equal pay for equal work
    Sorry, but when you compare sectors - whats equal about any of us getting paid to do nothing? ;)
    Just because you own a few acres, that doesn’t seem very equal...

    But in the context of farming - say every farmer gets the same amount per acre?
    Or how about the total pot gets divided by the number of farmers in the country, regardless of acres - this is also equal isn’t it? It’s more equal really, as everyone gets the same...

    I think orchard - your view is ‘others have more than me, why shouldn’t I get more’
    That’s a perfectly valid view, but the whole system is a bollox, and to try to dress it up as equal or fair is rubbish - the system itself is both unequal and unfair...

    As for striking - farmers have no leverage. We are producing a product no one really wants. Majority of people buy food in shops, as long as the shops have food - no problem. Farmers striking wouldn’t affect this...
