    Spring barley or wheat for wholecrop silage?

    That’s a new one for me! I remember when Zadoks was the thing, GS31 etc! :cool:

    Yamaha Kodiak 450

    I’ve had one for 5 years. The plastic footwells need replacing periodically as they break. Had the ECU replaced as the bike wouldn’t idle, one of the connectors had corroded away. Generally very easy to use and own.

    Sounds to me like you need a mobile bulk tank for them! 😎

    Arla reduced pack sizes to 200g, not sure how it’s panned out, I think it was more shrinkflation.

    Dirty water pump

    Did Allpump supply it? The primer is interesting, based on my experience of our mono pump from years ago, definitely a wise decision.

    @Happy hillbily , what’s your Lepto status? A few years ago our cell count went upto 900, tested, was Lepto. Vaccinated and it dropped like a stone back to normal.

    Milk Price Tracker

    Surely that’s on a need to know basis! Certainly not for consumption by potentially a supermarket snooper!

    Location, location, location! If you’re not above a road, at the bottom of a valley, with the rain we’ve had in the last year/18 months, literally the solution to pollution is dilution! FYI, my farm is above a road. :confused:

    Private eye nails it

    There was obviously a “Z“ in the month, because that was the only time our kids were allowed to eat there! :cool:

    Yes well aware of the hoops, which we jumped through a few years ago! When it goes in for planning it gets sent to NRW for approval, then two weeks or more before you start you have to notify NRW. Incidentally , NRW officers who visit your farm if there’s a problem, have no idea of what you have...

    Yes mine is about 400m away on the top of the hill, most of the land surrounds it.

    A sort of money laundering?

    Rough costs are £30k to dig 1M, liners are around £25k for that size. You can scale up or down, but nothing is cheaper than an earth lagoon, even cheaper if you have clay.
