No prizes for guessing who sold those straws to you 😂 we did exactly the same, many years ago now

Can you feed treated rolled grain straight away. As in, I’ve crimped about 60ton this afternoon, can I put 300kgs in diet feeder tomorrow morning?

How many litres per ton should you use if applying while rolling?

Old thread I know but what sort of output does a little 78 have? I’ve seen a nice one for sale. I know it’s how long is a piece of string but in a 2.5ton per acre spring barley crop what do you think?

Is the owner of this setup on the forum?

We had a bunch of heifers from the farmer that’s selling at Exeter. Bought our heifers from Exeter in 2017 and some of them have now calved with 4th calf. They milk well and have given little trouble. If you need cows get up there and buy them. Getting digi is all but inevitable so get yourself...
