A hamper from Fortnums most days: or an Aldi carrier bag on others.

Yes indeed. “We go for a fun day out at our new business venture, Long Compton Abattoir!” That would really go down a bundle with his adoring viewers wouldn’t it? And a great advert for the British farming as well.

.77 for 1200l delivery end of this week, kerosene .66. Quad North Wales.

On a tenanted farm when there is no succession and you are approaching 70………? Ooh! I know, I’ve got a brilliant business plan! 🤗 I’m 68, so let’s build a lovely new shed costing £30k for storing extra hay that I could otherwise wrap and store outside without any worries for about £1500, a year...

Thanks for that.

Cheaper than shed space in my circumstances: plus if there is any doubt about the hay being 100% fit the wrap acts as an insurance against hay possibly overheating.

Why do you think this Derrick? A genuine question, because I price my wrapped hay to sell at £10 more than haylage! So I am just curious to learn why you think differently. I question your figures because basically the hay needs another good day to make as well as another pass with the tedder...

Summer must be on its way……..the rain’s getting warmer.

Ah, yes: perhaps not the most apt term to use when the other candidate is allegedly known to ‘bat for the other side’ as it were. Anyway Gething is a decidedly dodgy character, and whatever may be his cricketing abilities I certainly wouldn’t want him batting for my side in any way shape or...

As slippery as a colony of eels on melting ice. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could kick an anvil up Snowdon with both my legs tied together in a Hessian sack. His career so far is a litany of mediocrity and abject failure, so he should be ideally suited for being the next slapstick...

He’s always lurking…….you can almost hear the heavy breathing……

High time the bloody Welsh were all deported in rubber dinghies back to bongo bongo land where they come from!

Totally agree with you. I have stopped growing barley this year after over half a century of it being an integral part of this small mixed farm. Lousy crop last year and with £150/tonne seeming to be the new normal price has made up my mind to stop losing money on this crop. Will grow more...

You are joking! Aren’t you? The plod (in North Wales anyway) have stated that they won’t prosecute anyone doing u 26mph. So why do some cretinous half wits create massive tailbacks by driving at under 20mph for miles on end!! Most people with a brain didn’t vote for the Taffia anyway, and...

Spring barley straw shrinks back to less than a foot tall; and even with growth regs the barley invariably brackles so we end up losing way too many heads under the cutterbar! Hell of a job selling the barley grain before the end of the year, and then virtually giving it away at £150/ tonne...
