    Talk to me about Molasses - is it better/cheaper than cake

    What are there weights? Old cliche but some times first loss is the best loss

    Pruex

    It’s intresting stuff, but quite hard to quantify- has anybody used it and seen improved growth rates or reduction in straw usage? . I’d certainly be keen to try it

    Problem neighbour

    Cool, before becoming embroiled in a tedious and dull internet debate about stock fencing or the lack of it. I’ll bow down to your vastly superior logic.

    Problem neighbour

    What a load of waffle dressed up as logic - if you have nothing constructive to add other than being incendiary why bother at all?

    New Zealand lamb - how do they do it?

    I think a lot of farmers would benefit from actually visiting NZ it would certainly help clear up a few misconceptions

    Farmers giving up due to Brexit?

    He is clearly a very charismatic and interesting chap - but are his methods really applicable on a truly large scale commercial basis. Is he not quite reliant on unpaid labour for his system to work?

    Farmers giving up due to Brexit?

    The fact that people keep going would suggest that it is, or at the very least subsides have allowed them to continue. And as unpalatable as it is if It can't be done, prehaps it shouldn't?

    Farmers giving up due to Brexit?

    Really? So if you cut your cost of production you would voluntary offer up your stock at a lower price in order to reflect that? I suppose farmers are price takers by and large, so in fact don't get much choice in the matter. I concede i may well be wrong.

    Farmers giving up due to Brexit?

    Im not sure that Ollie slashing his fees would represent a gain in efficiency for him?. Either way from my limited understating of what happened in NZ its going to be the Ag supply sector that takes the first hit should the worst happen and agriculture be thrown to the wolves post brexit. And...

    What would attract you to a job?

    I would agree that it must be frustrating especially in what is an uncertain time for agriculture, but as employee its incredibly demotivating to work for some one who begrudges paying you. Which is one of the reason I'm now looking to move out of dairying.

    Are you as belligerent in your "real" life as you are on here? It must be quite exhausting being continually quite so negative all the time.

    Who is REALLY paying for AG Subsidies???......... THE RICH

    Really? The only time that food security has been an issue in recent history to my mind has been in wars of national survival, do you envisage one occurring in the near future?

    Who is REALLY paying for AG Subsidies???......... THE RICH

    So other than post some pretty ropey arguments on here what have you actually done personally to ensure the continuation of subsidies?

    Who is REALLY paying for AG Subsidies???......... THE RICH

    I sincerely hope that the people who are in a position to influence govement and ensure the continuation of subsides in some form are doing a better job than you bossfarmer. You've done a first class job of alienating what should a fairly sympathetic audience.
