A refund has been issued back to me as soon as Andy realised his employee hadn't done it, but it has caused other problems because of the way it was taken from my account, which I won't go into as it's no-one elses problem apart from mine now, but it just shows that modern technology is only as good as the information that is put into it, and as humans we all make mistakes some of them can be more costly to some than others.

Do you not plough then Gav? I've seen a few people do it without ploughing i.e. just heavy cultivate with a chisel plough/subsoiler or similar, the last farm I worked on grew about 100-120 acres each year, both salad type straight into boxes and set skins over the grader for crisps/chips etc, our routine was - 1, spread field with manure if field needed it and if FYM was available 2, subsoil with a McConnell shakerator (buried nearly to top of the legs) 3, plough 'n' press at right angles to the way it was subsoiled 4, fertiliser applied then power harrowed / rotaspiked 5, ridged up and depending on quality of seedbed possibly bedformed/rotospiked 6, destoned and planted, we used to put on that horrible pink powder stuff when filling the planter It's interesting to see how other people do things, I guess lot of it is down to soil type and farming policy used, keep up the good work I really like following your topic

noticing a payment taken out by model farmer mag's publishing company igp ltd at the beginning of the week by mistake, I told them of this and still have not had a refund back to my account yet, despite me giving them a few extra days to allow payment to clear, don't think I'll be re-newing my subscription when it is supposed to be re-newed in august, you ask someone to do one simple thing > > :angry:

Thats a nice noise do like those big frame Puma's

lovely pics really interesting to see how tractors and machinery has evolved over the years, that number plate on the front of the 2wd 7600 must be worth a few quid now

no R.O.P.S on it even in India? to be honest I was waiting for him to fly off the back and get impailed on the plough

Thanks for the words of encouragement Chris

Thanks Paul

got a job interview for tomorrow, not a farming one which is what I really want to do, but it's a job and I'll take every opportunity I get in this current financial climate, monies poor though (£6.20/hr ) but it's within walking distance of home so no need to use the car if I got it
