they are definitely taking the pee, you can abort a cow for not much more than a tenner

Not surprising as well when you look at how many companies are over staffed and how many pointless jobs are out there. Look at Elon Musk who sacked 75% of twitters workforce and nothing changed!

I wouldn’t worry about the two litre engine unless you’re towing everyday. It’s a very livley engine that punches well above its weight. After the engine in my disco 4 failed I tried both and went for the defender. The boot isn’t that big in the defender and the door shape makes it awkward to...

You don’t need a full on herbal ley. I’ve tried them over the years and they are good but I generally use a red clover based ley and then add a selection of herbs and Lucerne to meat the legume quantity requirement. Seed will be 90-100 an acre. I then do a shallow pass with the discs, cambridge...

All square bales in 120x90s with half the knives in and 8 layers of wrap. You will get holes in the wrap but it doesn’t spoil as bad as a grass bale, might be the lack of sugars in it. Cattle go mad for it!

They’ve been in the ground for 3 years now and going strong. It’ll take atleast a year to get into full production. Don’t expect anything brilliant for the first cut or two next year, well worth the weight though!

Fair enough. I have a field with companion grass and one without. I prefer the straight Lucerne personally.

Both are painfully slow to establish! Why did you choose those two species? Timothy is a heavy land grass and Lucerne is a dry land plant.

Always last, inside to out

Get on well with regatta & bandur here which is liberator & proclus.

I’ve tupped ewes on red clover leys with no issues.

It was all rubbish, the backup from Wessex was equally as poor.

I had a Wessex unroller with the straw attachment as well. The worst machine I have ever used or bought, traded it in for a hustler chainless in less than a year and countless repairs.

It definitely will, might look a little poor initially till the barley is grazed or cut back. Crack on and get it drilled.

Looks impressive but doesn’t last long! The slugs don’t like to eat it though.
