Cow parsley is creeping into certain areas of the farm. It can seemingly be controlled reasonably well with SU's in wheat, but Its the OSR stage of the rotation thats letting the area it covers expand, and Astrokerb or Belkar don't seem to touch it, neither has a test with Korvetto (Arylex...

Mohamed Mansour has given the Tories £5 million and is to 'coincidentally' receive a knighthood. But I on the other hand have this year helped to supply well over 3 times as much to the public purse, simply by selling feed wheat (fag packet maths ensues, feel free to correct): 1 tonne of wheat...

The cost of vet treatment has hit the headlines recently, with the BBC saying there is to be an enquiry into veterinary medicine costs. What they haven't mentioned is what lies underneath the tip of the iceberg: the wholesale change in veterinary practice ownership, and the size of the various...

My Avery Weightronix weigh bridge has just developed a couple of gremlins (remote display and printer both up the fritz, looks 'serial port' related). Avery aren't returning calls (the usual 'corporate' efficiency) so I was wondering if anyone knows of an independent weigh bridge servicing...

Currently designing a ‘lean to’ chaff house for 2 grain aspirator cyclones, and I’m wondering if anyone has experience of using a roller door in a dusty situation. The chalf pile won’t reach the door, but there will be a lot of stoor (dust) floating about. Could use a hinged barn door, but it...

In short, new ducting in place, cables about to go in, no connection date but told "either this quarter or next". Happy days. BT phoned today to ask if I need a landline and a new fibre compatible phone, and I replied that before we go any further let's talk about package prices. BT replied "We...

Just had a phone survey on behalf of the James Hutton Institute about investment, carbon audits and my attitude to possibly having to change to 'protected urea'. Poor guy wasn't expecting a lecture about volatilisation not being an issue unless it's 30 degrees and high calcium soils; a Venn...

Can anyone shed any light on the current xFill settings, and are they VRS supplier dependent? I'm being told 2 different datum choices by different people. Frequency 1545.4900mhz Baud rate 2400 xFill datum, choice of: Thanks in advance.

And of course it all gets lapped up by the limp dildos at the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/66701802

[Wet weather mode: Enabled] Just doing a bit of sketching to make an adapter plate that will carry a JCB soil bucket on the front of an NH T7030 (field stones, rolling`). There are existing adapter plates from Multec and Taylors, but they look like they won't suit, as the JCB bucket brackets...

So much for the "Bonfire of red tape" the deceitful b@stards in Parliament promised us. Email from SQC, but relevant to Red Tractor etc. : A message to SQC growers of potential changes to recognition of Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) Assurance by European Commission from Teresa...

As per title, anyone got one lying around? PM please.

George Monbiot loves to reference his rambling articles in the Guardian with 'facts' he's found on Google. And the week, as usual, he's pointing the finger of blame for all the worlds ills on farmers, and quoting TFF with regard to the river Lugg incident...

Just wondering if anyone knew what the E-Type, Case, and ‘new’ land rovers made at today’s sale? It looked like an exceptional catalogue: https://www.cundalls.co.uk/auction-details.html?auctionid=85

For all the right reasons: YES!

I'm under instruction form Mrs PSQ to find a (sigh) horse lorry. I can't be the only forum member to be in this position, so I thought I'd ask the collective wisdom of the forum about what to look out for, and what (or who) to avoid. The brief I've been given (and tweaked) is 7.5 tonne, ideally...
