I have something else there.

So I've made my decision.

It's not an awful decision.

It's the biggest weight on my shoulders this morning.

I slept better last night and I slept in a long, long time.

Yeah, because why should I be covering all these costs?

My biggest thing was the thing everyone keeps saying, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on.

I am not sitting in a bloody field in the middle of July or June or July this year bailing for some farmer and him cribbing and crying about the price of the bail and everything else.

And I have to try and argue with him into why you have to pass on the cost.

Because I haven't passed on the cost this year.

You know what I'm saying?

You can't pass it on because the farmer's not going to be fit to pay it.

You'll do the work.

Like I said, it's easy doing the work, but it's getting paid for it after the problem.

In the contracting game, any contractor will tell you, you're waiting six to nine months to 12 months to get paid for the work.

So you're carrying that cash flow for a full 12 months and you're having to pay all your suppliers, your diesel, your wrap, your everything else.

I don't know what the solution is.

There doesn't seem to be a solution, but you know what the solution will be?

When all the contractors sells up all the machineries and goes,

who's going to buy the machinery?
