Mr. Joe Hamill:
Absolutely. My understanding of what happens on many bogs is that a tractor is brought in to aid the work of cutters on the bog and that the tractor operator is paid by the cutters. Much of the work is done by contractors and one of the issues arising is that a large machine can do a much greater volume of cutting. If everyone was still cutting with a slean, we would be in a different space.
