It argues the high rates are absurd and notes changes enabling a five year depreciation deduction for farm machinery and housing. The letter predicts many farmers will withdraw from averaging and that future incomes may fall below recent years.

It advises changing tyres regularly, rotating to red wheels, and keeping spare tyres in use to avoid age-related failure. Regular pressure checks and secure wheel mounting are recommended for safety.
