Surely voluntary bankruptcy is the only realistic option for a

in this sort of state. Hanging on to see if things are better in ten
years doesn't sound like a sound strategy.

Tough break I know...........


remember they are the children and grandchildren of people who did
exactly the same thing. You tend to think in long term cycles.
I wouldn't say they are right, but voluntary bankruptcy doesn't give
them a lot while survival would.


I would have thought that remains to be seen. It could be a case that it
would be better to cut your losses.

Only time will tell, Beckett and Haskins have been making fairly upbeat
noises but then they would do wouldn't they ?

Getting out of farming at the right time would appear to be a tough
judgement to make.

Cheers
