Total budget water trough, just going to put peace of wood in to protect ballcock. Lots of winter grass ahead, still fair growth in this warmth.

Is it worth sitting it in a big tyre to stop them tipping it over?

our hfrs would demolish the ballcock, in minutes, by licking it. Have seen similar, with 2 drums, joined on their sides, with b/cock in one, drink out the other. Very green, recycling the empties.

I was speaking to a mate last week, he’s in a cull area in Gloucestershire. Only a small cull area has had 4500 badgers in 3 years! The badger’s are out of control , no natural predators.Charity calls out Jeremy Clarkson for ‘shocking misunderstanding’ of cattle disease

Need more like him and less like Dyson, I hope Clarkson ventures into cattle in some way as well, reckon him and a robot could be quite a good watch

@Sid
Can you clear up a confusion/contradiction for me ( I’m easily confused.) please
You have stated many times across many threads with an utter confidence I admire that organic farming can feed the world.
This being the case why does organic require a higher price to the primary producer? Your statement suggests the same amount of output is possible per hectare as conventional.
if not then where will the land come from? Or is your thesis based on a lot less food being wasted ?
thanks in advance

reduction of waste, would go a long way, to help out. Have been told, N is between £7-800 now, so we will probably all end up semi organic ! Nothing to worry about, at that price, much less will be used, which means less production, less production, will mean higher prices.
Steady day here too.
