    Too fat to farm?

    My Mrs says she has put on weight because she's had two children. When she borrowed my truck for a week, it was very enlightening to see the array of wrappers and cans that collected there! As someone up thread said, it's the snacks. And the normality of it now.

    Potash

    So 50t/ha muck (individual application limit) gives 250kg N and 150kg k. Why would you want it out of a bag?

    Slurry Storage Solutions

    Ok, how much is the biggest one, specced for slurry then? And how long does it take from ordering to being in use? I can see the use if someone needs extra storage at short notice.

    What to do when the cows are gone

    A friend of mine took his first tenancy in his mid forties, so don't think this is your last chance. You can do a lot of regrouping in twenty years. I can't advise much without seeing your farm or your accounts, and I can't pretend to be an expert in anything, but I do know that when you are...

    Tow and Fert

    Should be using fulvic for foliar they now say. If you have granules, add them slowly, or they sink to the bottom and form a lump rather than dissolve.
