    5 Exciting Technologies Changing Farming Right Now

    Thank you very much :) I'm glad you found it useful. I tried to keep it up but I got a lot of backlash on other topics and frankly lost interest in trying to help people who were utterly unforgiving of any deviations I am trying to do with the industry. But if people are still open to learning...

    5 Exciting Technologies Changing Farming Right Now

    https://oinksandbots.com/what-technology-will-be-used-in-farming-tomorrow/ I actually took a lot of what was said in this thread and created a new article with some additional points added with what I had dug up (sometimes literally). Some of the points are in my previous article but I've...

    Introduce Yourself

    It seems to be hit and miss with some people here but so far mostly positive, so I'm looking forward to what people think of future projects. Especially in technology! :)

    Introduce Yourself

    The name's Sam from Ireland living in Scotland with my partner who has sheep (cause what else would you have in Scotland?) all jokes aside, I started a blog www.oinksandbots.com that started off as a sort of therapy for me (very much a city lad) but has now been evolving over the last few weeks...

    5 Exciting Technologies Changing Farming Right Now

    Hmm to me that still reads as a lack of communication between designers, suppliers and farmers. You do raise an interesting point about the assurances (must have missed that in your previous posts) for purchasing a new system. Generally speaking software across technology has a short lifespan...

    5 Exciting Technologies Changing Farming Right Now

    So would I be right in saying that there are three main areas of concern in this thread? - The technology flat out doesn't work and the customer support is crappy. - Even when it does work it often fails under work conditions. - A combination of the two where you are forced to "modernize" and...

    Rearing Own Pigs - Actually Cheaper?

    Thank you :) That was very helpful! I'll go through that. I still have a lot to research before making any decision on pigs.

    Rearing Own Pigs - Actually Cheaper?

    I actually don't take vinegar or salt on my chips :ROFLMAO: Though I do like home made ketchup, yum! By synthetic chemicals I am talking growth hormones, anti biotics and the like. Probably fine for most people but the doc said my gut won't be able to handle it and who am I to go against the...

    Rearing Own Pigs - Actually Cheaper?

    Anything synthetic really. I've got colitis and so I can't digest anything "complex". Makes cooking irritating to say the least! I'm at the point that I'm looking to grow pretty much all of my own food since the cramping can get bad if I eat something that has inorganic or unnatural chemicals in...

    Rearing Own Pigs - Actually Cheaper?

    My partner is from the Southern States so smoking is an absolute must. Hickory smoking being a fave. Hey if you're close by I'd take you up on that £30! I have no experience with butchering tbh so that would be great for some tips and tricks. I did figure it would taste better and would be a...

    Rearing Own Pigs - Actually Cheaper?

    That's not plagiarism? I prefaced the whole article saying that this was research into the feasibility of raising our own pigs. So of course I was going to use someone else's figures since I don't have any of my own. We farm sheep so pigs are not our usual animals, hence why I was doing some...
