Sod that. It’s not like house builders are going to sell the houses any cheaper, it’s more they will make a bigger profit…. Think it’s something like £35k per house the land costs for a housing estate…. So that’s probably already the cheapest part. Maybe they should put caps on how much...

I priced a shed recently and it was only 10% more than 2018 which I was surprised at, so steep must be back down so manufacturers shouldn’t have that excuse, energy dropped a decent bit….. they could trim prices but will they, I guess things like trailers or cultivation kit that have plenty...

So has the pendulum swung to a buyers market? It’s been the other way for too long.

Had to dig drill out this morning, not the best season to buy a drag drill 👎 given up on that field for a week plus. Not sure I have much else I can do without a week of dry either, maybe 35 acre. Forecast looks to be sh!t for the week for us too 🤦‍♂️🙄 trouble is the surface is dry but not very...

Personally if I’m making hay the baler has to be run with 0-3 pressure (goes up to 10) as any firmer and bales sweat. Haylage (a day from being fit hay) I pack in at near full pressure. There could be 2 plus times the material in the bale. You want them tight for wrapping, reduce plastic use and...

off topic but what tractor are you spraying with when fendts on the drill?

Got 10% of my own SB done yesterday. Rained pretty much all night since. The wind we had from Saturday until last night did some serious drying but back to square 1 now. That is my driest field sown, even it had a damp patch to lift over that I have never seen in it before.

Don’t forget they are cutting back on meat in the meals on flights to improve their carbon footprint 🤦‍♂️

Sacrifice paddocks close to buildings is my plan with them able to run in and out. Have to get some out next week as straw is disappearing fast. Once it dries out enough to move them on will evaluate the mess, can either rub with PH, broadcast seed and roll or even just roll it if could get away...

I could travel on most of our grass without making too much mess but with a wet week forecast and no sign of warm dry weather on the horizon is there any point in chucking it on?! Going to be flat out drilling for 2-3 weeks when things dry up so maybe will push on with fert later this week.

Wonder how many would be straight to kill.

8000 ewe hoggs in dingwall today https://www.dingwallhighlandmarts.com/live-cam

Just standing in cow shed on a horrible night thinking 1 how glad I built what I did in 2018/19 and 2 how I wish I build bigger 🙈🤣 looked up the quote for the extension that was done then, 80ft wide 60 long. 4800 ft2 for 25k galvanised and delivered. £5.20/sq foot. Putting it up was on top of...

This is messing up my plans a bit. So I currently run 120 spring calvers 10th March to May calving. Have had 50% calf in 3 weeks so by the last cycle there isn’t that many but they currently will fall inside the scheme ok. I also have autumn calvers from end of September to end of November. For...

Hand brake on Kramer is crap!! Dangerous even. I don’t like that you can’t free wheel the transmission and rev to get faster hydraulic function at same time. Dad wanted simpler than the JCB which he thought the Kramer was, the 12k price saving and 3 year warranty definitely swung him too. I...

Anyone got firm quote for dw hoggs?

I do find it interesting that we are never told who behind these attacks. Part of me thinks it’s more likey some spotty teen in their bedroom…. It’s useful for the government to have the public think it’s a foreign state as then they can justify defence spending (rightly in my eyes) When you...

Surface water from a track or rut finding it’s way in?
