With its main tractor factory at Le Mans in northern France, there is little surprise that Claas is eager to be involved in the world famous 24-hour endurance race.
Recently, it has been appointed as an official supplier to the Automobile Club de...
I've recently been visiting several local farms volunteering my labour for free on evenings and weekends and so far, every response has been a no.
Am I missing something? I would have thought farmers would be happy to have an extra pair of hands to help out when needed, especially for free...

Sheep farmers are being warned to act now and take preventative measures, as blowfly strike warnings are being sent to farmers in Northern Ireland.
The recent week of hot weather will have resulted in an expected increasing strike risk, so preventative...
Afternoon all.
An export deal of some calves from a nearby dairy farmer fell through at the 11th hour so I bought them off him in the Autumn. Thought it might be fun to try my hand at showing.
Not expecting to take the world by storm, just enter the local show in September.
Any tips? Pic is of...
Managing a small herd of longhorns here.Lovely quiet cows untill they have a calf, then it's as if a switch has been flicked and they suddenly become possessed by the devil.
This of course then becomes exacerbated when you have calves that don't suck; big traffic cone tits to latch onto; tagging...
a 4 acre section of ancient woodland in Kent called hoads wood, also a sssi, was illegally felled last year, and used as an illegal waste dump. at its height 20 to 30 truck loads per day were dumped, with no licences at all. Locals contacted police, who said it was a civil matter. They then...
The label says 80 - 250 L/HA which is a huge range.
I've tended to go at 200 L/HA to give everything a "good wetting" but wondered what others are doing and why.
Hello. I am looking to replace my 2013 Forterra CL (with mechanical reverser near gear lever) for similar sized tractor. I had it since new and it was really reliable and does not use much fuel, but as I am getting older I want something less bumpy and quieter. What Forterra is doing and what...
With huge apologies to all farmers for the massively naive nature of this post, my wife and I are exploring buying (and farming) a livestock farm. I have the financial resources but no experience and I don't know any farmers. Any suggestions of where to go to get experience or any good courses...
Morning All we are looking to put in a substantial planning application for a new milking parlour, collecting yard and handling facilities.
What makes the application strong? Its a large building that for cow flow juts out of our site which will make it quite noticeable.

John Deere has just unveiled its latest forestry machines at a launch event in Helsinki. The new machines cover both the harvesting and forwarding of timber.

As above. Reach issues are understood, are they tough and dependable as a shovel should be or are they jcb toffee and not what you'd expect of an industrial machine that can do 20000 hrs of very hard work as a komatsu or volvo would do? I've not been impressed by quality/longevity in my past jcb...

Hi folks new member here we farm on Dartmoor and have decided to start baling our own small bales
However access is tight short of a helicopter dropping us in a baler we're looking for as small an old conventional baler as we can find.
Or an inline if we can find/afford it
What model should...
Routinely dip everything in the Autumn, but somehow it's come in halfway through lambing.
Been advised by Vets not to dip ewes and young lambs (~3 weeks) as the scent can lead to mis mothering, has anyone any experience with this?
Always found Dectomax/Cydectin a complete waste of time, and...
