Simple solution, stall farm payments once you hit 70 see how many years they then carry on sinking there pension into the farm, my guess would be not that many....

No! Know of a similar situation a few years back, the farmer couldn’t get enough cows, took over neighbouring farms, milking in several parlours, treated his staff like dogs, when they walked out and he had to do everything by himself it wasn’t long until the cows went, he now rents his own...

How do you get a new grid connection for it? Nie won’t want it. Also on this topic if you can move wind turbines with the rocs would that mean solar panels and accredited gas engines also qualify?

I’ve been hearing that since I left school, a couple of weeks decent weather and it’s all forgot about again,has anybody ever went to pay their conacre bill and the landlord turns around and says farming isn’t good sure next year give me less per acre....

He ticks all these boxes, and I’m not joking also has a couple of red lely boxes in the shed as well so he’s a proper farmer in every way ?

Thanks, that’s a simple enough idea there, wonder if the digger track is suitable enough?

Hi, I’ve a rubber track off a 6ton digger, I’m thinking about using it to make a scraper to fit on telehandler to give the yard a tidy up over the winter, also to tidy feed passages, was thinking about giving it a try, I’ve a length of heavy channel iron and could possibly fit brackets or slots...

Sjb tractors have a tidy low houred one atm

Have cut 2 hubs off a scap car in the past and converted a cooks to 14inch car wheels, wasn’t a big job and worked well

I know of a few cases of cattle reported ‘stolen’ a few days before annual tb test or day before a herd inspection...

Would need to be sure of getting it for a few years to justify the work/expense, the first year is going to make nothing as there will be hedges to cut, possible digger work cleaning ditches etc, then lime and other inputs, if you went to all the bother of doing this for another person to step...

This is an original door repaired on a 3070 3years ago, got the bottom refolded at an engineering works and the weld joint is behind the black plastic door handle cover, better than the replacement copies imo
