    Anyone offering whole wheat in the afternoons as a treat/scratching/foraging alternative. Not as a diet alternative more of a treat/enrichment/welfare improvement. Just considering offering a product to fill the gap if there is one !

    Electric contract termination

    Signed up to what is now very expensive electricity contract and just wondering if there is a way out ? What happens if I cancel the DD and wait to be cut off. Could use a genny whilst waiting for a new supplier. Could even use a genny with current supply, sure it would be cheaper !

    Wondering about a bean drill based around an Accord DF 1 unit. My major concern is piping up the seed delivery pipes and coulters. It's going onto an Alpego Cayman with 10 legs. Do I get a distribution head cover which divides the seed as best works out I.e. 3 coulters worth down one pipe or...
