Surprised how the silage ground has sprung. Ground is still just about there to travel on . I’m just putting watery slurry on but some fields just won’t be spread now .
anyone else finding they are mixed emotions about spreading now ?
only for the price of fertiliser I think I’d probably pull out of spreading now .
Another week Another dispersal sale for kilrea
Neighbours have dribble bared the slurry and tbh it doesn’t look too appealing to me .slurry dried in white linesDoes anyone do their silage ground with a spring tine harrow routinely? There's bit off slurry crust still about from the dribble bar and was thinking it would break the crust up abit. Would it be any good or just a waste off time and diesel?

I've nearly all our silage ground to do yet, going to use slurry from the store as it's thinner. I'd think there will be enough rain to wash it in between now and the 3rd week of May.
Nose ring with 6" of chain with a weight on the end. Saw it on a customer's farmAnyone know how to stop a cow throwing silage over her back? 3rd calver here leaving the feeding area in a mess.

Plenty of fibre, it would help keep bf levels up in spring grazing cows, how many litres from it, 3 maybe?Can sfp be claimed off land covered in heather,is heather protected
Desperate times,thinking of cutting it for silagePlenty of fibre, it would help keep bf levels up in spring grazing cows, how many litres from it, 3 maybe?
You'll soon mow?!Couple of grass samples taken on Monday
Already mowing at it….with the zero grazer, cows are up 0.7l and with 3kg less meal. Easy to have the grass dry when cutting lately which also helpsYou'll soon mow?!
This is why we are meeting with farmers to show them the full system and ask you to talk to your processors. The processors are realising that they are having to change the way they are working because all their input costs are rising as well and are not managing that risk as well as they could be. Rather than pass losses back to the farmers by reducing the milk price they can insulate themselves in the background in the market. That's where we help the milk processors on the other side. For farmers to win the processor also has to win.A benchmark which none of our processors measure up to!
The app and the risk management platfrom behind it, will at least give processors a chance to be able to hit these benchmarks. Milk processors were initially set-up to process milk into, milk, butter, powders, cheese etc. and not be commodity traders. Since the abolishion of the quotas and new tools becoming available processors haven't been given the tools and the training to manage this risk. The easy option is, if they make a loss is to reduce the milk price to compensate for it, so the farmer ends up absorbing all the price shocks in the market.Exactly, so what difference is this new app going to make
