To all you guys and gals around the globe ,is there a farming forum in your country that is comparable to The Farming Forum (TFF).
I am prompted to ask the question as today I see a new member from South America has joined TFF,and is asking about pick up trucks!!

I was sent a link to a NZ one a while ago but it was very quiet I didn't go on it again. There is quite a few American ones I think but am not a member of any of them or even know the names of them.

Good US ag forum:

Just takes a bit of head scratching to decipher their lingo, it’s a form of English, but some of them sound like Boomhauer from ‘King of the Hill’.

I used to look at a US one - but the usability was awful.

You are possibly looking for further afield examples but "forum4farming" is largely lreland membered / based.

I used to look at thecombineforum but usability was crap and most topics quickly went to 300 posts, the claas men defended claas to the death, the JD men would never mention another make, the NH/Case guys argued about the same machines in different colours of which was best and the ones with the gleaners/krones gave a to everyone...

Agri-ville.com is a Canadian one, not too much traffic, and one guy does a crop report every Thursday which I quite like.

They all seem to like to come on this forum and laugh at farming in the UK.

I stopped Facebook due to to many adverts and me and the wife would be talking about something not usually spoken about in the house or a item for the children and within 24hours those exact things would come up on Facebook in adverts/suggestions..

Agricultural Matters was a taboo word on here at one time as it was set up by members who were banned from here.

Edit I didnt type Agricultural matters, but the forum software has changed it to that, which prooves my point. They were fearing a mass exodus at the time which didnt happen.
