Bloody farmers

[Glow worm]

GWS mr C. Normally i like to see a bit of spilled grain- something for the birds- but maybe not that much!

Here in the east we've got sugar beet season coming up- always a joy.
Still, I choose to live in the countryside so can't really complain about mud. It is a bit galling though that farmers get paid a minimum of 85 quid an acre of your taxes before even sowing a bean. There's a hell of a lot of very shiny brand new Range Rovers in the farm yards hereabouts!

Every Sunday on Radio Lancs the farmers are given a 1 hour slot to moan about how hard up they are and how difficult their lives are. Why the feck are THEY considered a special case i don't know?!

Although they can't afford seat belts for their Range Rooneys.

I take your point, but I think there is some real hardship in the dairy and upland sectors. My knowledge of these though is rather limited living as I do within the agri- desert that is east Anglia. I have a lot less sympathy for any whingeing grain barons around here!

It is getting time to bring in the corn here so we watch out for these mahoosive feckers being driven by eedjits, the are as wide as the road

I think we could be hungry without them.

totally agree, you know the old saying, "if you can t stand the heat get out of the kitchen". imagine you run a small company and things are not going to well, can you go crying to the government," Mr Cameron one of my three tractors is off the road", or "oh dear one of my rangerovers needs insuring can i have a hand out" - Why do they bury farmers only 2 feet down?- so they can still get a handout.

Plenty of grains spills,on the roads around Hampshire and Wiltshire ,I un clip and slow up asap if I see it,it will take the best ,I hit a patch on a descend last week on a bend but was able to keep up right ,mixed with the gravel of the rains last week ,it's all against you !

Oh the irony!

[QUOTE 3901494, member: 9609"]you must have some pretty flat countryside for a header that wide, presumably they detach it and tow it behind when on the road.[/QUOTE]
No. What you see in the picture is what you meet on the road.

Used to meet them like that in Turkey. Cutter bar and bed still attached (not towed on a trailer behind), at night, no lights, no escort. Made for a few interesting moments on rural roads.

Did you hear about the magic tractor?







It turned in to a field.

Brilliant ha ha . If it's ok with you i'm going to use that 2 feet down line cause we are farmer central up here. I will of course give your good self full credit for it...

Oh I don't know, I tried one once but I couldn't eat it all the wellies were still stuck to his feet
