Can anyone clarify for me, to be eligible does it have to be a stand alone system, can you use an existing piece of wall for example or a post that’s already there to attach a gate to. I’m getting conflicting views from the manufacturers of such systems but I haven’t contacted RPA for their...

Astrokerb applied in mid January to what seemed like osr with half a chance of making crop but it’ll now be written off. I don’t want to go down the deep cultivation route if I can avoid it What options have I got for creating a grazeable summer cover which will also do the soil some good as...

If I buy a 4 leg set rated at 6t, does that mean they’re rated for 1.5t per leg? Does that rating change at all if you use the shorteners? Any suggestions on where to buy from would be appreciated as well

I’m considering drilling clover over the top of spring beans for ground cover, would the clover survive a Nirvana pre em?

My plan going forward is to use a 3yr cropping rotation of Winter wheat with companion, winter barley with companion, NUM3 or AHL1 as break crop. Volunteer beans in the wheats have shown to have a good effect so I’ll stick with that but what should I use with the barley, do I need to consider...

The post has now been pulled but this is an utter betrayal of its livestock students of past, present and future 🤬

As above really, after using a TCT blade the other day in someone else’s workshop I’m a convert, but there seems to be a big price range and probably quality as well. So which 305mm diameter blade to buy? Recommendations please

If I establish a legume fallow in springtime, realistically early April when things start warming up, will it flower before that summer to achieve the aims of the standard and then I can follow it with September drilled wheat? I’m considering using it rotationally as a break crop but I want to...

Last year I drilled 10th Oct and it did what it was meant to and performed well, this year though I’m wondering about drilling earlier with the view to graze it. Will the grazing reset the plant to a position of a later drilled crop or will it shoot through the growth stages too early and amount...

This year it seems like every block of land I’ve taken on for stubble turnips has got a footpath next to it. I’m pondering the idea of putting signs up along the lines of “If you have a concern about these sheep, don’t put it on Facebook, please call me on …” Anyone do similar? Am I asking for...

Is it bad for beneficial insects? I’m trying it for the first time this year on brassicas against flea beetle, I’m happy with the theory behind it but now the agronomist is suggesting it’s actually harmful to beneficials in the same way as it is used as a grain store insecticide. Is he right or...

I’ve bought a s/h set of 12m rolls that have a stocks fanjet mounted on them. Will I actually be able to get the feed slow and consistent enough to work at 8-10kph 12m wide rather than 25/30kph at 18/24m on a quad bike. The rolls were the right money regardless of the slug pelleter but would be...

Trying to wire a cb radio in, cut and shut the radio power wires for it. Now I don’t have radio or power to cb. Command centre saying “function not installed or unavailable” Checked the fuse box down by where your right foot sits and the 10a fuse is fine, to double check I swapped it with...

Anyone growing it? Or considering it for this year? RGAT’s 2nd go at a BYDV variety, Wolverine didn’t really whet the appetite but what’s the thoughts on Grouse? I haven’t been able to see it in any trials yet

Just had this through, thought I’d give it a crack… got 6 questions in and can’t get any further because there isn’t a 0 option on the number of cows question. @Admin @Chris F @Clive @whoever put together the survey

In my quest for an alternative source of RTK rather than selling my kidney, liver and both arms to JD for their rtk I have happened across the Canadian firm Agra GPS, Is anyone using their CRG receiver on a JD for rtk? Priced at 4000 USD (extra for modem if needed to run mobile rather than...

Can anyone suggest where would be a good starting point to read up on these… other than a sales brochure! They appear to be getting more talked about but as of yet I don’t know much about them. Also where would anyone suggest purchasing them and how are you using them? Am I right to assume...

As title really, what does your vet charge? Can’t actually believe the bill I’ve just received

Anyone running 1? Demo’ed 1? Seen 1 but didn’t buy 1? Thoughts and opinions please! I have struggled with chopped wheat straw with the sabre tine drill this year, balled up in front of the leg and either kept balling up or passed that leg and caused a bigger blockage further back, wondering if...

Can I link a holding for sheep only that is already linked to someone else for cattle only?
