Dear Agria,

With the first question you can indicate that your acreage will decrease (and therefore decrease). I assume that answers your question.

With the app you can choose from fewer answers than are ultimately in the result.

dear jos
if we all scrape the potatoes from the building plan, no potatoes will come from our country
that stress is a good one to throw potatoes out
but the biggest problem is caterpillar never enough
we don't have to go to more but less and then the problem is solved in no time
this must be in a European context

Have victims already been found for the contracts for the new season? I wonder what the slaves agree to this year.

delivery first week of April, contract price 144 euros! delivered product 55 tons net! balance 7920 euros! minus costs 5500 euros net profit before tax 2420 euros! this is contract McCain 2017 potato Marquis.

free or contract, you should do what you feel comfortable with

Can't say anything other than that this is a nice result. I am a free grower myself. 55 tons x0,05(????) is 2750,- -5500 costs =-2750,00, so because I don't want to be a slave, despite the fact that it does yield, has made me decide to spend my pension money as I choose, and say goodbye to those rotten potatoes. I don't have to deal with stress in any way, just enjoy the fun activities on the farm.
