    Grain shed cleaning company?

    I blast the underfloor laterals with the drying fan, just lift the wall end cleaning section up, open a quarter of the shed and let it have both fans for a few minutes. Clean as a whistle under there. My son does the hoovering etc of the rest as it was hard on my knee, had a replacement now (I...

    alternatives to shakearator legs

    I've given it quite a few years now to see if it will sort itself, but it's just not happening. My normal approach is keep everything on tramlines wherever possible and ignore wheelings etc. And normally within a year you forget about them as they're no longer an issue. However these fields...

    alternatives to shakearator legs

    On some soils the shakearator works well, here on this heavy snot it heaves the living daylights out of the ground and is common to pull up horses heads and leave the resulting hole behind it. Low disturbance it aint, not here. And yes, I'm wanting to pull a deep leg through deeper than the...

    alternatives to shakearator legs

    I've taken on a few fields and want to subsoil due to past management decisions. I don't do any currently except where I've made a mess with a 16000 L tanker, and using the shaky legs is just to disruptive to the surface and structure. I'd like a leg that is much gentler in it's approach...

    SFI - What % have or where you going to taking out of production?

    I'm considering maize instead of second wheat, either grain, or silage. But this year it's second wheat.

    SFI - What % have or where you going to taking out of production?

    Approximately 1/3 into legume fallow, either rotational or semi permanent. It's entirely replacing break crops, but I should have more tonnes to sell as I'm back into second wheats, so I'm producing more milling wheat than before. Just no linseed, oats, beans, osr.

    Container Chemical Stores

    I got a non working reefer (refrigerator) container. Bunded, stainless steel mostly, ventilated, and insulated.

    Yes, but none of them do 200l/min, that's the issue

    Best way too get insurance for a young driver.

    A couple of weeks would probably have been similar. It was £600 cheaper to insure my daughter's car just because it was two weeks away and not that day. Suppose it takes some of the hot headedness out of them.

    Capital grants - Farming Equipment and Technology Fund 2024

    100m of hose is almost a waste of time, I've not got many drains that short . It's very often the last 100m is ok after the first few m at the outfall is cleared due to silting because of a blocked outfall, then you find blockages further in, much further in. I still haven't put it up a drain...

    Indeed, it still is. In the technical information it says 200l/min now. In the standard features it says 160l/min.

    They've changed the spec on their website, it wasn't showing 200l/min, iirc it was showing 150 or 165 region. I looked. I looked at every jetter I could find. That one wouldn't be much use here, I've been over 400m up a drain with my old seiger. I was 262m up one last week, round a right angle...

    Winter cover crops on heavy land... what a disaster

    And my local central store offers an extra payment for osr grown in a certain way. Up to £48/ha plus a further management fee on top. So if you open your eyes and look and explore options instead of saying, 'I've always done it like this, so I will continue to do it like this' there's ways and...
