Great Munden Farm require harvest staff for mainly corn cart and cultivations on our 2000 acre, all arable farm in East Hertfordshire. We run a New Holland CR9.90 combine and modern John Deere tractors. Good accommodation is provided as part of the job. Good rates of pay for the right candidate...

I have a footpath running through the yard between the drier and a flat floor grainstore. It would be handy to run a conveyor along the roof of this shed to load it straight from the drier if needed. It will mean the conveyor crossing the footpath albeit 6m in the air. Is there any legislation...

Got some formerly good hardcore farm tracks which are getting veery pot holes due to this winter weather. Filling potholes is becoming a daily chore at the moment as whatever we put in just comes out again when vehicles drive over it. Have tried breaking up the area around the potholes to get...

Just bought a 3 year old machine which on the outside was very tidy, but disappointed that the filters were full of sludge, especially as the dealer apparently went through it and gave it a full service before sending it out to us. We’ve got a situation where some nozzles (random nozzles at...

Prices being given for next year’s urea. Anyone booking any? I’ve done some at £430. Only time will tell whether I’ve been too quick off the mark.

Currently pricing up tyres to replace a set of Michelin Axiobibs. 800x70R38 rears and 600x70R30 Waiting on some prices back. Any other brand I should be looking at? currently got prices in for Michelin, BKT, Vredestein. Have decided to steer clear of Trelleborg because of them going at the...

This isn’t a whinge from me, but in a few hours time the village Facebook page will have gone nuclear as straw is currently being carted through the village on chasers. Local farmer has rowed up his straw, and it’s being baled by a local contractor who buys it off the farmer, although he stacks...

Should make a start on W Barley tomorrow, should have everything that is ready knocked out before the weekend. Forecast for our neck of the woods next Sunday is 41 degC. I know in other countries it reaches these temperatures all the time, but just seems too risky from a fire point of view to...

Went to 2 different sprayer manufacturers at Cereals to discuss changing our SP Sprayer over harvest 2023. Was on each stand discussing options for at least half an hour. We currently have one of the manufacturer’s machines on farm, so hopefully they know we weren’t tyre kicking. Both...

Looking for a new set of Cambridge Rolls. 12metres wide. Fairly heavy with breaker rings. Currently looking at and getting quotes for Dal-bo, Cousins and He-va. Any others worth looking at? Any issues with the brands I’ve mentioned? Not a huge amount of road work to do.

Heard from a colleague this morning that Cambridge Farm Machinery have lost their franchise with Vaderstad - any truth in this? Find it hard to believe myself.

I’ve been asked by a neighbour to drill 50 acres of beans for them as it’s too wet for their Vaderstad now. 6metre tine drill, 220hp tractor, all Labour and diesel supplied by ourselves. They will supply seed and loader. Medium to heavy land. Needs to be done to make a profit, not just to cover...

My Navara is due for a change in the next 6-12 months, spoke to Nissan today, they (obviously) told me to pull my finger out because Nissan were stopping making the Navara and the last ones would be coming into the country in December. If I were to order today expect the new one to turn up in...

Bit of an experiment - drilled some fodder radish in late May after failed OSR, has established really well, and now a perfect seedbed to drill straight into - fodder radish is about 1.2 m tall, just starting to pod. If I glyphosate now, would a sprinter drill Wheat straight in to the standing...
