With a very challenging year I've decided we should invest in a hay moisture probe. Do you have any recommendations please?

Jumping on here as we're looking at buying a hay moisture probe. Currently looking at the Wile 26, Wile 27 and Agreto Haymeter. Any recommendations please?

Most important thing is to go around it!

Big tonne bags work well if you can get hold of them. They do take up a lot of space; it's a shame they can't be compressed or chipped

A silage sheet and a hosepipe is great fun in the summer if you have a good long slope. Remember that anything you make yourself makes you liable for ANYTHING that goes wrong or accidents so sometimes it's best to buy the right thing.

I've heard that another company are going to start making it (MSD I think) so the vaccine will be available next year. I'm in two minds whether to carry on vaccinating (we have been using Scabivax for probably 40+ years). I don't like the job but it does work and we do have orf problems if we...

If your farmyard is slippery, particularly when the ground is frozen and your job requires you also to supervise your 3 year old and show him around then I guess you could justify it as a business expense (!!????) Your call.

That seems expensive (10k aus is £5,653) compared to UK prices. Price up a new one first. That rake has done some work looking at the tines.

What's the price difference between the two?

Robyn, so completely shocked by this news. So sorry for your loss and I know she will be missed by so many. I do hope you are OK and am sure this will be a difficult time for you. Best wishes, Peter Richards

As in a 17 year old with a Tractor driving licence (the one you can take at 16)? I think there are tighter restrictions than a full UK driving licence. Would like to know as my son is 13 now.

Started using ours on feed barley as we have no grass. What's a safe amount to start with and how much can you increase it to after they've got used to it? Offering silage as well as the savanna they are currently grazing.

Great event today. Really enjoyed it. Plenty to see so well worth going. Thank you @NSA !

I have about 11ha of maincrop turnips that I was planning on applying Nitram fertiliser @ 110kg/ha (therefore providing 38KgN/ha). Crop has already had (50kgN+ sulphur) and looks like a good crop worth spending a bit more money on. ;):eek: How long do I need to leave it before it's safe to...

I don't think you will go wrong with either. We bought a P300s 6 years ago and it's been brilliant. Nothing much has gone wrong with it and it's still going strong. I think it will last another decade easily. I don't regret getting the P300 over the 200. It's worth more now that what I paid...
