Same all over most of Devon now, no rain in the forecast for this month at the moment as well.

Dairy neighbour of mine with over 200 cows indoors on robots 24/7 is apparently taking mains water in ibc's and pouring it into his borehole to supply his dairy unit/house etc!
How on earth does be keep up with water on a dairy. I’m struggling for water on hopper lambs with ibc’s and that seems bad enough.

Just looked in on the beef one, apart from the first day where it it looked fun its seriously dull, its like the ex has run of with an accountant, think they will be back for some anything can happen fun.
For the record I feel like the husband who went to the door to find the locks had been changed and my clothes were in bin bags on the lawn.

I'm mainly beef with some arable and some sheep, not keen on this divorce idea, if I had any spare time to go on holiday, I'd look on the arable price tracker to find the best places for skiing or villas in Portugal.
For all other information beef and lamb price tracker holds more info than Google!!! now I have to access another thread!!


Fat beef price, steady at moment no sign of improvement in near future.
Fat lamb price, bit better this week, no idea what will happen in near future.
Fat pig price, still steady apparently.
Feed barley price, £221 ex farm. who knows what it will be in 6 months time!!
Feed wheat price, £254 ex farm. who knows what it will be in 6 months time!!
Seed corn price, £545-£600, depends who you buy it off.
Blue bag Nitram £850 ish.
Red Diesel £1.08. Last delivery.

Sounds like a time consuming excersise .... how many ibc containers is he using ?

There worth more than store lambs, maybe I would be better setting the prattley up every night and catching a few. 🤔
Yeah, but only if you run them through 'til nearly Christmas and get 8 arable farmers (probably by advertising on the cereal price tracker) to stand around while you poke 'em with a stick to make 'em flap out of your turnips at about 10' high so said arable farmers can blow 'em to bits 🪶🪶🪶🪶
