I can't even get mates rates for myself never mind anyone else!
Great idea, bridge from Larne to Portpatrick, make it a toll bridge and it pays for itself. Be over to the promised land in half an hour.

If you make a bridge instead of ferry, there'll be more traffic. I could be in Carlisle in three hours.

I went Creagh but still waiting on delivery been slow. I’d say everyone has big lead times at min so get on the ball quick.
Not that crazy an idea when you are paying Stena and P&O a fortune every week to get to the mainland to work, a great idea is what i'd call it,

Borrowing 20 bill at let's say 4% is 800mil in interest. That 2 mil per day. . 20000 cars a day at 100 pounds toll to pay interest never mind the capital. Not a chance. Next scheme please

European funding?????!!!!
We've used ph strips before as a crude guide, but now I don't worry about nitrogen. Just make sure it's atleast 30% + dm, the drier the better and the more/better quality the protein in the silage will be

Not sure about very high DM I do see where you are coming from as to intake but to high a DM when it over 28% can cause problems with a stable silo face also there is a thought that you may be bleaching the protein out of the grass with very DM with tedding around a field in very a strong sun

Also worth noting that some USA dairy farmers add water to the feeder because their diets tend to be very high DM and as one farmer said to me how would you like to be eat nothing but dry crackers every day

I think it's safe to say that we need some rain. I was pricing hay today from England. Up over 30 pounds a ton since friday
