    Return of the milkmaids

    Those old meadows might be pretty to look at..but a dairy cow will give a true nutritional value the next milking.

    Bergmann foragewagon compared to Krone, Pöttinger and Strautmann

    Read a post on "wagon drivers?" Facebook page.. someone complaining that there is no UK dealer anymore. How true is that? But could be a problem with a £100k machine on stop during harvest.

    Welsh Sustainable Farming Scheme AND Protests

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv279yrz9z7o Un arall, bydde well bod ei fam wedi towli'r Babi a cadw'r brych! Translation for our English friends.. Another example of it would have been far better for everyone if his mother had thrown the baby and kept the afterbirth!

    Cattle tagging rules?

    This is Wales, where the SS/ Gestapo of the Assembly government is hell bent on persecuting an ethnic minority to extinction... Us Welsh livestock farmers...and they are rapidly reaching their goals... moral in farming has never been so low...

    Cattle tagging rules?

    Ok, was helping a friend TB test his cattle yesterday.. woman from the assembly came out to check all the eartags, his records, had the attitude I'll catch you out and get your single farm payment deducted! Is it any wonder so many are giving up farming ..

    Cattle tagging rules?

    Long story, but simple question.. when a cow looses half of her ear tag , does it need to be replaced ? I sent lots of animals to the abattoir with just one side of a tag left , but they did have a tag in each ear.

    Agriculture claims more and more of the world’s water!

    That would be down to good management...the Hoover dam produces hydro electricity.. so why would it be left unused with the water overflowing?

    Best 155-190 hp Tractor under 25K

    The later Xtra models did have a few more HP, but they were not common rail, just simple mechanical pumps.. Don't think the 6400 series T2 were common rail

    Prices coming down?

    And to think abattoir waste from a slaughter house that kills TB reactors..was being spread on a farm locally...and a few neighbouring farms went down with TB... Different rules for us and them? 🤔

    Bead Bazooka

    I have one, but if it's a stiff big tyre sitting too far from the rim.. they don't work.. three attempts, and it's back to the aerosol brake cleaner and 🔥 never fails!

    You have to go for an early T2 version ( the square nosed) to have the dynashift gearbox, because they changed later to dyna6.
