    Farm JCB -Is it required to Tax a farm JCB?

    Has to be 'taxed', but usually at zero rate as said. PITA, but has to be done to be 'legal' if on the road. If you have the V5 then just do it online with the DVLA.

    Today NOT at work

    I love watching yachts as they're an absolutely fascinating part of our 'culture', but it always comes with a reality check: When your family have been bankers for generations, and they've set up St James Place investments. Nat Rothschild's Planet 9, 240 foot, £85,000,000 or £650,000 a week if...

    A strange Spring?

    I've edited to clarify that it's 99% cloud cover for the next 10 days, and not 99% sunshine. It's pretty Baltic, online app says both soil and air temperature are at 6 degrees, hardly conducive to lush growth. Thankfully the OSR is a late variety thats only just coming into flower. I won't be...

    A strange Spring?

    I could see where I'd run out of fert on wheat (N2, 2 weeks ago), so it's definitely taking it in. Problem being theres been very little sunshine over the last few months, and theres diddly squat showing in the 10 day forecast. It seems stuck on '99%' cloud cover, very similar to the shite...

    A strange Spring?

    I had to look at your location, as I was talking to an agronomist from Northumberland yesterday who was saying exactly the same thing about lack of oxygen in the soil, but in winter wheat. First wheats are still on the back foot from Atlantis and barely recovering, 2nd wheats were looking good...

    Scram Africa '24 - picture heavy !

    Bit of a thread hijack, but for anyone else who fancies a bit of continental 'hooning', this is an absolute giggle: http://www.rust2rome.com/

    These are only available to purchase by time served percussion engineers. Theres a strict vetting process, to qualify you need to send in copies of invoices for 'Red Star', tek screws, gaffa tape and cable ties.

    Scram Africa '24 - picture heavy !

    With no airbags and only 2 ‘crumple zones’. Awesome build and road trip though, looks like a real adventure.

    Soil Structure Recovery

    As little smearing as possible, which would massively increase the length of time that the damage would need for remediation. Ideally stitch in something quick growing with high root biomass to suck out moisture and improve structure, like spring oats.

    Could you handle a proper drought ....

    Things are tougher in OZ? Why didn't you say.... 😉 When they sent your Great Grandparents over for "Hard Labour", they forgot to explain it was for them, and every future generation.

    It’s the rutting season !!

    This is a fairly tame example, but every water filled rut means 5 metres of brown 'sharn' being thrown out either side and just in front of the booms. At least the rain has washed it back off the crop...

    World War 3......the start?

    Fertiliser Price Tracker

    OK, scratch that, I'm confusing the Straights of Hormuz (Persian Gulf) with the Gulf of Aden, which is below Egypt, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. A blockade of the Straights of Hormuz won't affect Egyptian fertiliser heading anywhere, but it perhaps explains why there have been 9 Hawk jets...

    World War 3......the start?

    I can see Israel increasing it's aggression in Syria in retribution, and multiple attacks against Iranian assets in Syria. Proxy wars would appear to be in fashion after all. But theres too much land between Israel and Iran for them to do anything more than multiple cruise missile strikes...

    World War 3......the start?

    Calm yourself, no need for hyperbole. It's just another regional spat, admittedly the kind that rumbles on for decades, but I don't think any party seriously wants to go toe to toe. This is merely the bitchslapping phase. The real issue is China is waiting for either NATO v Russia , or the...

    another farm gone

    £10,309 per acre for hill land? Fools and their money eh. It will be sold back at £2k when the bubble bursts and the suits realise they’ve been played like a deck of cards. Scottish Councils are now refusing planning on change of use to forestry, leaving these goons £8k an acre in the hole for...

    What would Russia winning the war look like for Agriculture?

    Will there be another secret Yalta conference, where Russia, the US and the UK the EU slice and dice Eastern Europe to serve their own interests?

    A choke on urea heading SOUTH of the straights of Hormuz, which cuts off Egyptian urea to India. In short it means it would have to head north through the Med, which means Egyptian should be significantly less competitive to Asia, but significantly cheaper in Europe…
