Boring but, the majority of egg producers are struggling to break even at the moment.
Supermarkets are squeezing all sectors in there greed to be the cheapest and biggest.
It's not good IMO Trev. It means people have to work for less and all the skill and pride goes out of everything.
The big new, state of the art battery farm thrives, but the little guys who have been in the game for generations go to the wall.
You mean the little guys with their smaller, older battery farms?

I am supplying a big national egg producer with wheat and i have to chase every week to get paid.
Their excuse is the supermarkets keep knocking their payment date back.
Not good.

Well yes, sometimes. But what I was trying to say is along with the people who just want to make money, there are the people who actually love what they're doing.
Ikea make cheap furniture in vast quantities, but they squeeze out the little craftsmen who spend a month making a dressing table that will last 200 years.
When I was lad there were loads of independent craftsmen, carpenters who would make you a chair to match a set, or repair a damaged table, blacksmiths who would forge you a new part to replace an obsolete one.
Most of these guys were one man shows who's premises consisted of a railway arch with the open end boarded up. There would be a big door for deliveries, and a Judas gate for day to day use.
There was never an office, you just stepped off the street, right in to the middle of the 'factory' floor. The bloke would stop what he was doing and listen while you explained what it was you wanted. Sometimes he would make a sketch in the dirt floor, or take a stub of pencil from behind his ear and write your specs down on a bit of paper that he would then stuff into his back pocket.
Sometimes, if he wasn't too busy, he would start your job straight away, you could stay and watch, or maybe even lend a hand.
I've spent many many happy hours under those railway arches. It was much more fun than walking around Ikea.

You following this Tom:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/dec/13/higgs-boson-seminar-god-particle
Fascinating stuff, although the level of between 2 and 3 sigma means they only have a 97% confidence level of the results. Apparently a 5 sigma is needed to constitute a 'discovery'.

"The putative particle weighs in at about 125 billion electron volts, about 125 times heavier than a proton and 500,000 times heavier than an electron, according to one team of 3,000 physicists, known as Atlas, for the name of their particle detector. The other equally large team, known as C.M.S. — for their detector, the Compact Muon Solenoid — found bumps in their data corresponding to a mass of about 126 billion electron volts.
If the particle does exist at all, it must lie within the range of 115 to 127 billion electron volts, according to the combined measurements. "We cannot conclude anything at this stage," said Fabiola Gianotti, the Atlas spokeswoman, adding, "Given the outstanding performance of the L.H.C. this year, we will not need to wait long for enough data and can look forward to resolving this puzzle in 2012."
