Is quick always good? - We have adopted European and US Harvest attitudes in the last few years. As you would know, they only have a small window of opportunity before the weather does an about-turn. We don't have that problem here.

But we have become obsessed with getting our Harvest done quickly. And I get why. But to do that, you need to invest in more and better Equipment. Like an extra Header or two, a Mother Bin, perhaps some more Field Bins, and some run Bagging Machines in the Paddock as well. You might need an extra Semi. 

Before you continue, please take a look at my new side hustle newsletter. Sign up to The Farmers Club here.

All of a sudden, you are talking an extra million or two worth of gear just to get the Harvest done quicker. 

The reason I brought up the subject was that someone was bragging on Twitter that they didn't have the latest gear and Harvest was going fine. Usually, it's the opposite. We are all complaining about where the cost of new Machinery has got to. Would we be better off economically by downsizing the fleet and taking a bit longer? You have to ask yourself these questions.
