In the fw this week

Have you any proof of that or is it just a remainer bellyaching?from what I have seen the Tory’s are saying it will stay the same for 5 years were as labour have said it will be the same but moved onto the Enviroment straight away

Thanks for all the replies,it’s the market that is worrying me at the moment,if I can get that sorted I might just give it a go

Seems like hardly any ww is going to get planted here this year and just wondering wether grain maize is worth considering,Anyone who has done it in the past care to share the good and bad points of growing it

They do,it’s saved their arses because Lincoln was about to flood on Friday night but that bank burst relived the pressure. The ea have been next to useless and farmers have had to think on their feet to try and save what they have got,one who has holiday lodges needed a pump to keep the water...

That’s saved me going back to the office to try and find it . I am not aware of any way of seeing what the ea plans to do with the money,the idb do a great job and imho they should have charge over all the rivers in our area,the ea are just not fit for purpose anymore

Will look for it later

If they have no duty to protect from flooding why do I get a letter from them once a year demanding money in the form of drainage rates?

It’s time the insurance company’s started to claim of the ea,most if not all the recent flooding can be put down to their negligence

It has burst at exactly the same place as it did in 2007 ,when the ea repaired it they managed to leave the bank a little bit lower there so it been a disaster waiting to happen imho

a nice grass fed Hereford with plenty of fat,sorry marbling will do me

They are not short of funding it’s just that they spend it badly

To the ones who say dredging doesn’t work,could you tell us how Holland manages or have they thrown in the towel like we have! After all they are covered by the same eu water framework that the ea says stop us from maintaining the rivers

I I am sorry but you are plain wrong about river capacity not mattering, I can only go on what I have seen locally with the Witham,at low tide at Boston there is little more than a trickle because the silt that has been allowed to build up removes the capacity to get rid of the water. I am led...

Most of it is from the rotten vegetation that hasn’t been cleaned out properly for years
