Yeh but once out of livestock, very difficult to get back into it.

Hi. Looking at getting a new JD T550 for next season. What sort of output should I expect to get from it? TIA

I don't see it Tim, the risks and uncertainty is unsettling for the seasoned operators let alone the start ups. The money needed to get going is just frightening and then to give yourself and your family a decent living.

Diversification should not be used to subsidise your farming.

I find none of the dealers openly tell you there labour charge. Always just a total labour cost.

If the charlock is really bad it will smother the rape before winter and bifenox. Clearfield is really then the only option.

We had this. Change the fuel filters.

My daughters tutor had a clear the air meeting with the group of girls including the main culprit. There has been no repercussions so far. These things have a habit of quiteting down until next time. They never get solved. My daughter is more upset that a girl who she thought was a friend took...

Being a smallish 500 acre tenant farmer with a main aha and a couple of fbt's.of grade 3 land. I think i am going to have to quit the fbt's. I cant see in the short term the landlords wishing to reduce the rent. I really don't like the idea of potentially loosing money over the nect few years...

I hope it will all work out ok. It's just being realistic History doesn't pay the young landlords bills.

History has no monetary value though in a situation like this.
