We don’t employ any staff but were told by our insurers today that our tractor and loader needs to have a LOLER certificate. Does anyone else do this?

Dad worked on farms in the 1950's-1970's. He bought his first house in about 1976 when no longer working on farms so at least he managed to get a foothold outside of tied cottages. Always a mixed blessing.

A local resident /Highways have obtained approved road closure during June, July and August. This will mean that large vehicles will be unable to leave or reach farms and businesses in the local area as the alternative diversion route is too narrow for access. Is there anything that can be...

How do others find this? Twice now it's jammed on the brakes with nothing in front but another vehicle coming the other way while slowing down to pull into our driveway. You can't permanently turn it off. How's seasoned users getting with these safety features?

I expect my staff to take a 30mins dinner break at noon. Which is unpaid. Is this reasonable? If we are busy and they don't stop I pay them.

What’s the longer term view of what is going to happen with prices? I’ve been around a few dealer yards over the last week or so and generally they all seem to be trying to reduce stock levels. They are reluctant to trade things in and the amount of times I’ve heard ‘you’d be better off selling...
