    British Farming Union on TFF

    This just proves why we can’t have a ‘union’ run by farmers, nobody agrees, people have different opinions, somebody always knows better, a lot of jealousy - it’s like a playground 🫣

    Post of the week from Clive about AHDB (and a poll)

    Also will need my tin hat on…. I totally agree with everything being said about AHDB, they have a lot to answer for. I very much enjoy coming onto this forum and basically being nosey. It’s great that it’s a free feature, and I know from past experience these types of websites are not free to...

    What would you want to see in a new knowledge exchange platform?

    Bugs me that’s it’s not a mobile friendly site…yet Struggling to see how it all works, but maybe I’m a bit too old school. I think there’s got to be a real need for something like this for it to provide good value to the target audience

    British Farmers to cut production by half ?

    Do you know where I could find the link to register? I watched part of their conference this year and on each discussion, they told us exactly what we all knew. They didn’t bring anything new to the table at all. ‘Farmers need better prices to sustain”:scratchhead: Right… thanks for letting us...

    The future of British Food

    Hoping not to open a heated, political discussion on this subject… just want your thoughts. What’s your prediction for the future of British Food? Will people buy more local/farm food? Will people not have a choice? Will imported food be the same price as British food due to increased...

    Ideal time for all farmers with any common sense to tell farm assurance schemes to go to hell.

    May be slightly off topic/subject.. but, What’s the future for British Food? Will people buy more local/farm food? Will people not have a choice? Will imported food be the same price as British food due to increased transport costs etc. Should our own produce be marketed more? I don’t think...

    Buying meds online

    Been browsing online drug prices and they seem considerably cheaper than what we’re paying with our vets. We don’t have a regular vet routine visit. Do many other people buy online? Is getting a prescription easy?

    Worming Youngstock

    Been using Ivermectin for years on youngstock, just noticed on their website that it says not to use on cattle at breeding age. Interested to hear what others use, in particular - block calvers? Thanks

    Rotavec Corona

    Thanks for your reply. Yep, trust the online supplier as I’ve dealt with them quite a bit so confident that it will abide to ‘refrigerated rules’.

    Rotavec Corona

    What are you all paying per dose for the above? I’ve been quoted £6.50 p/dose online, think that’s fairly reasonable but interested to hear what everyone else normally pays?

    Zolvix wormer!

    I’ve bought off these this week, I questioned their Clik prices as thought they were up compared to all their other products. It’s because they don’t receive a discount from that particular manufacturer compared to others. I’ve supported them for a few reasons, the main one being it’s a young...

    Botox Swish or Spotinor?

    We use this Flypor https://www.prowormers.co.uk/product-page/flypor-4-w-v-pour-on-solution We’ve made the mistake of not applying early enough in the season before and it’s not pretty. The key is to start earlier, before they begin breeding. Much more effective than letting them start...

    Do you shop around for best prices?

    Hi All, Interested to know if you all shop around for best prices for things like vet medicines, wormers, fuel, feed etc? Do you prefer to stay loyal to one company despite the price or would you be happy to go elsewhere to cut costs/save money?
