Yes I am .No FA I suspect, from that response...
For grain/ oilseed assurance you need wonderful things like cleaning records for grain trailers and buckets, plus disinfection if used for muck, and grain

Wash and record it anyway, a fa inspector might decide you could potentially move grain peanuts smarties or some other food group
QMS inspectors are pretty good up here. They actually walk round the farm and assess with their eyes.

Not a bodge as it has paint on it. I doesn’t half make it easier dragging it across the yard.

Not the best of welding but finally got around to making up the silage bale rollers for the spike I made about three years ago. Two steel retaining rollers to go on and need to 3d print end caps.
You have a 3D metal printing machine, cool....
if it was me id save my powder and cut two discs out of 4mm, sit them on a off cut of pipe of he same OD and press the center of them down to concave them.
if you dont have a press then the same setup with a few blows of a well aimed sledge will give a similar effect.

Not really I’d like 200 acres but unavailable and if it is rents way too much to farm it properly so just don’t bother.Happy days...

maybe chop the end off one of those little co2 bottles they use on the small mig welders? Make sure there's no gas left in it though...,, could be exciting.

Get them for free off the top of roadside signposts. I have a few post complete with caps from some that were dumped and recovered by me after shoddy roadworks.

€2.86 + TVA for filament. (AmazonBasic). Its pretty tough, weighs 165grams each.
3 - 4 cents per hour for electricity. This print took about 2 1/2 each.
