I see that the latest NZ government report "Freshwater 2023" has pointed the finger squarely at the dairy industry for "making 45pc of their entire river length unfit for swimming in due to bacterial loading"
Calls for reduction in cow numbers as 6.3m head is "way too high"
And I see that there are calls to cut livestock numbers in Herefordshire by 1/3.
Happy days .....
and l read an article from WHO, getting worried about food production, as phosphate use was being cut back to far, it would seem, we cannot win.Must admit this is the first I have heard of this despite going to numerous phosphate meetings, hopefully just headline grabbing nonsense, can’t remember the exact figure but I think I’ve heard there is more tonnes of chicken meat produced in Herefordshire/ Shropshire/ Powys than the rest of the country combined but guess chicken aren’t counted as livestock.
How are you getting on with your anti-badger fence? Is it still doing the trick?View attachment 1105794View attachment 1105795
That day of the year again, only 5 weeks later than last year!
You're farming perfectly well, and your neighbours are choosing to be p*ssed off.View attachment 1105856
Does anyone else get complains from neighbours. Contractor in today spreading with dribble bar, photo from our gate sent to me by neighbours, gate leads on the road then their property is other side of the road, saying we spread to close to their property. Week ahead looks dry. Just don't seam to be able to farm without peeing off someone!
I had crazy horsey people move onto the property on the lane I use to access a field. They tried to stop me using it, phoned the police and everything. The police actually turned up around half a dozen times. It amazes me because when your house gets burgled, the police don’t turn up for hours.View attachment 1105856

Honestly people get worse & worse, have complaints about mud on roads from cow crossing, contractors driving on verges, smells from slurry, bird scarers! Have been reported to Council & had photos sent to landlords in the past. Kind of fed up with it, only positive if does give me something to write in the red tractor complaints bookToo late now, you've spread it
