    Robotic milking

    Is this mainly to do with Delavals policy to vastly inflate parts prices continuously on classics to attempt to force users into purchasing VMS 310’s rather than lazy reps getting off their fat arses and looking for new customers? I can understand changing a 15/20 year old robots being a good...

    Twyman hedge cutter

    I don’t actually think so as haven’t seen a new one for several years. Were made in Tiverton by an ex Twose guy and his staff ( Richard Burman I seam to recall) Ran one for several seasons and in all honesty the cutting performance was ahead of anything else on the market for the size of...

    Genus charging by the hour for inseminating cows

    Have seen the Genus rep and in all honesty there is actually very little change in costs on timed visits/ inseminations as we’ve always had cows in the race and ready and wash facilities next to van parking so quick and because of this our time on farm is minimal ( recorded via tracker...

    Genus charging by the hour for inseminating cows

    Our Genus sales representative is calling in next week to discuss their new pricing. If a price is given in that region he will be asked to leave the farm immediately and not return !!!! Genus service here isn’t exactly amazing as cows have been regularly served 1-2pm which means highly stressed...

Really wish him well as UK land prices are all but impossible to start from scratch and buy a usable block of land and farmstead. He said in Canada an 80 acre farm stead with house and buildings was around 250k uk pounds. Here...
