I farm on top of a hill with gravity on my side I wouldn't need to pump.

a new lagoon for dirty water, built to their specifications, will still cost a lot of money.
you would think they don't want farmers anymore.
dread to think what the next daft idea they will dream up.

Will only have dairy washings here by the end of the summer, everything will be covered. It’s been hell this winter, any runoff runs straight over waterlogged fields and some helpful person dobs me in to the NRW.

Our joskin injector had a gate valve in the 6inch pipe so you could shut the flow rate down if needed and there was a bracket to hold it in the desired position.

Wish getting the cows in was like this every day!

Good idea, I sometimes hear and read comments about dribble bars marking and just think some application rates are just too high for grass.

Some of its weather. Two years ago before the separator we did 10 acres of Italian. It dried up and the line dried and lifted up with the grass. Only about 2 inches wide and no thickness. Ended up baling the field rather than forager. Only time it happened. Now with a separator slurry is gone in an hour if the field can take it .

This was the first place I ever saw anyone selling it. Probably not a bad margin at $32/gallon

Surprising what goes on in the world. The local Muslims like to use it to make a sort of sweet dessert. They cook it up so it looks like scrambled eggs. It’s quite nice actually.

Im guessing mag. She’s been calved long enough it shouldn’t be cal but then by the time id found some mag her ears were cold so shoved one in the vein for good measure
A bit of calcium plus dextrose would not be amiss ?

Shoved what in the vein. Straight magnesium will kill them. Ive tipped 20% out of a calcium bottle before and topped up with mag if I feel it's needed in the vein.

Cow custard tart . My grandmother used to make it. Just add sugar and cinamon.

Calcium in the vein, filled the air gap with mag in the calcium bottle then the rest of the Mag under the skin
Is she up on here feet now quickest way is to put calcium dextrose into the vain but if she is grubby when you put the needle in always wash the area and surgical spirit on but dry the water of first especially if you put it in the milk vain.
