    Resilience

    Spare cash has got to be fairly high up on the list. Lots of things can be solved by having that liquidity to move quickly. It’s also exhausting trying to juggle bills or knowing you have a situation that could be solved with a small investment but are unable to do it.

    I do that too when I f**k up and don’t order cake in time. It’s not a f**k up it’s reducing my carbon footprint

    10k an acre. Assuming you have nothing to put forward and need to borrow it all and that your not averaging over more acres puts the interest alone at £800 a year. Equivalent to 4-8 years rent locally…. Obviously doesn’t allow for inflation eroding it as the value increases you hope

    Evolution Farming

    This is turning into a bit of a witch hunt but to cover something @frederick covered in a different thread. This isn’t good enough This should be reported The buyer should take action The buyer is as culpable in this case as they are in a pollution case as they accept this milk. I think...

    Cattle tagging rules?

    Tag needs to have both sides. Those ones you sent must’ve lost it in transport which does unfortunately happen. Leaving your farm without 2 full tags IE 4 sides will get you into trouble.

    Milk Price Tracker
