    Any agricultural events on near Exeter this weekend? Got a wedding down there, and would like to make it a business trip. 😉🤫

    Anyone used Cogents Fresh Sexed semen, on a synch program with heifers?

    Electricity tariffs/Prices

    I was quoted 60p day and 42p night, and sadly I'm quite tempted. Recently they've been more like 72p and 48. Just done SP and they were 85p and 70p for 56000kw/yr. Unsure if to hold off to see the full explanation from the Government support, although I'm not out of contract until April so this...

    Broadcast red and white clover with the fert spreader yesterday, so cows in today to tramp the seeds in. Probably have them in for the next 3 mornings to try and get good seed to soil contact. New ley last year.

    Electricity tariffs/Prices

    I'm on the same timescale as you. Contracts up in April. Turned my nose up at what seemed a ridiculous price quote in May, only for it to double. Still a while until April, but it just seems to keep getting higher and higher.

    Would it be possible to try and get a domestic electricity contract, instead of commercial. Farmhouse and cottage going through it after all, aswell as the parlour. Price cap at 21p/kw, going up to 28p/kw certainly looks attractive - but how naughty would it be?

    Today's the first we've had though, and I'm only 10 miles down the road from you.

    42p night rate and 58p day I've just been quoted. Having turned my nose up at 25 and 37 early May. So the £10k/ year bill will become 30k.

    Surely make 10k/a this time round.

    You didn't show a picture of the hard rain at 3pm right enough. Thought I was very clever baling WB straw and cutting a few fields of silage in "record" heats. 🤷‍♂️

    Ooh, that's exactly what I was measuring up for yesterday!

    Platemeters

    Let's assume for both readings there had been no rain for 4 weeks. Would less stem no be able to hold the plate up rather than more leaf plants?

    Platemeters

    Does anyone alter the formula on the platemeter through the season? The manual does suggest changing it as the grass changes from vegetative to reproductive, with stem elongation. Or do you just change your understanding of the figures it provides as the season rolls on. With they're probably...

    Mobile Oopf

    Very impressed. But seems a ball ache of an extra job to do.
