    Is there a margin in regen farming?

    Ok that’s encouraging, please excuse my intrepidation I’ve had my fingers burnt , by starting on a regen route with others , but then had the amount I was able to do reduced , so no fert and limited chemicals half way through the year. certainly didn’t cover costs although all losses were...

    Is there a margin in regen farming?

    Please excuse the direct question. But if you were given the chance to enter a contract share farming agreement on a block which would have to be regeneratively farmed, would there be a margin to be split , so as a contractor I would see a profit to pull on first charge after doing it for cost...

    Fendt 728 gen 7

    It all depends on the deal on the day to the person paying the bill , most of these figures are “hearsay” from a mates dogs mate . I can guarantee that when I bought mine ( one of the first ordered a year ago so keen) , it was under £30k difference to a jd250r . With proper vario grip , and a...

    Firewood processor which machine

    Cheers I’m leaning towards a saw blade as I’m struggling with the bar and chains tbh . a circular seems more farmer friendly

    Firewood processor which machine

    Hi there , I’ve ventured into the firewood game and it’s going pretty well with a good demand. I’ve sold out this years stock so now starting to split next .I bought an oldish hakki pilke x47 which is ok but not overly reliable at this point and I can’t get much through it? It’s a lot to with...

    A vision of farming in 2030

    I’m trying but a bit of a lone voice. i think that’s the trouble most disagree, but feel very much that it’s futile trying to stop the government’s juggernaut green agenda that they are trying to meet! The NFU are either with them or seen silent on the matter. what would you suggest?

    A vision of farming in 2030

    As much as I wouldn’t want to wish war and all that brings on anyone , the sooner the government witness how fragile our food supplies are and how shortsighted it is to be dependent on others, when we have a choice, the better imo

    Am i allowed to clean ditches out?

    It’s all a joke , how have we let ourselves be governed by a bunch that don’t know their arse from their elbow. so no ditching at times in the year ? Can only be on environmental reasons or to protect wildlife ? but flooding thousands of acres across the country and drowning god knows how...

    SFI, the start of the end for arable farming?

    I’m the same , can’t get a look in locally tbh. I’ve older customers we contract for and would like to rent, but the amount of rent I can justify doesn’t match the goverment scheme . On one hand they are trying to encourage older farmers to stop by the scheme they offered to retire early...

    A vision of farming in 2030

    They might value farmers and food more ? that’s my hope anyway. I am so disillusioned with the desire of the government to push us towards non food production, not against environmental schemes but I think they have got the balance way out? it’ll come home to roost by 2030 when they...

    What % of winter crops not planted or destroyed

    I’m not sure but a lot ( 100 mm plus if not more), I’m convinced that the fact the seed didn’t follow a seed coulter which even on a tine drill would place it on a slightly smeared slot has helped? The point of the tine has worked well below the seed which was randomly smudged in ( rear harrows...
