nashmach Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 simple far tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! :'( Got to agree it seems to be going up by ?20 a tonne every 2 weeks over here - no point in cereal/beef/milk prices going up if fertiliser/spray and diesel are all increasing still only the same bottom line - hence why I cannot understand some people going mad buying machinery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
