Lord Ferguson Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I wonder just how many farms FTF is now directly responsible for... more importantly... how much money has been spent in recent years as a result of FTF Impossible to assertain I am sure... but I bet it's a tidy sum of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
