If you have a spare 5 minutes while its raining - could you give Direct Driller Magazine a review on Trust Pilot please?

We would most appreciate the support as it allows us to demonstrate to advertisers why farmers want to read the magazine and therefore allows us to keep it a free knowledge transfer resource for you all.

Thanks everyone who takes the time to do this

it’s a real challenge keeping the magazine free without “selling our souls” and dumbing down to loads of advertorial.

We need to demonstrate that the relatively low % space we do allocate to advertisers that it is a high quality publication worthy of premium prices, valued by its subscribers who are a very professional and forward thinking cross section of the farming community

Done. This is my first issue and it’s well worth it. Are there plans to have a piece about livestock integration going forward.

There has been articles about livestock in issues 2,3,4 and 5. But yes we would like to do more. We see a future of mixed farms in the UK being most sustainable. Steve Lear who is a far,er focus writor is a mixed farmer.

When you’re talking to your advertisers you ought to have a quiet word with New Holland. Their advert with a plough and power Harrow combi kind of suggests that they don’t appreciate the essence of the magazine.

I have, however, the amount it costs for artwork to be created is insane and the T6 is the right tractor for "Direct Drillers". But ploughing is still the norm. I look forward to the day when DD is the norm and the adverts in Tillage magazine have a direct drill in them! Then we have "won" the battle.

I do very much appreciate them advertising with us though, so try to be helpful with my feedback, we are just sometimes limited by what is going in FW or FG.

I would love to be able to contribute but I am yet to receive a copy despite signing up before the first edition. I have since spoken to members of TFF team on the phone, at Lamma and at Croptech and I still have not received a copy. This is my last hope.......
