    Autumn manure banned

    I predict that maize is the next thing they will ban, probably on a catchment wide basis. Personally I wouldn’t mourn its disappearance as I feel it is largely responsible for our Tb issues, and with the runoff and damage to soils I see there is a far more compelling argument for that than...

    Autumn manure banned

    I see the EA are recruiting a lot of additional staff to police the new big stick regulatory regime we are about to be subjected to post SFP. I’m out.

    If you were a silage contractor

    Depends on your ground. I’ve cut 100ac today, will pick up tomorrow. My main concern is slowing the grass down so it can be rolled properly. I expect some frayed tempers from boss contractor tomorrow at some point as he plans to go somewhere else after but I have given him fair warning that I...

    If you were a silage contractor

    I tell the contractor what week I want him the day i put the fert on. Keep an eye on heading and give him heads up week before if weather looks good. Usually not far out.

    "Animal Rights" activists & McDonalds

    I called in at McDonald’s Newport(salop) yesterday, they had run out of buns for a triple hamburger and ketchup for my chips, f**king furious.

    Do the English just love a Toff?

    Confidence, arrogance, lifetime expectations, self belief, entitlement, call it what you will. Private schools encourage a culture of success and competition both academic and sporting. Some state schools do this also but too few and there is far too much inverted snobbery in many state schools...

    Farming going down with hardly a whimper...

    I would be more concerned with my qualification for ag inheritance tax relief if I took the retirement bung. Have the details for this scheme been published or is it just an idea being floated at this stage?

    Covid Vaccine Roll out.

    With the U.K. potentially being only 8-10 weeks off being fully vaccinated in the voting population(over 18s) I think it highly unlikely that the foot will be taken off the pedal now.

    Do the English just love a Toff?

    And that’s the top and bottom of it. You can only make this decision for them once, there are no do overs as Americans say. So you try to give them the very best opportunities you can to succeed in life. Having an idealogical objection to private schooling your own children makes absolutely no...

    Do the English just love a Toff?

    It’s mostly foreign students who board these days, the majority are day pupils. Some children choose to board when studying for GCSE’s.

    Current Prices for Grass/Grass Keep

    In the region of £150/acre in either circumstance without SFP. That is mid/north Staffs but obviously your asking for information that is highly specific to location. That’s a lot I know but you simply won’t get any significant amount of ground unless you go there.
