As in the title, has anyone submitted their claim yet and are there any pitfalls that are new to 2023? I've been through and made the usual corrections on the form, all the codes seem right, declarations have been made - I just wanted a bit of reassurance I'd not forgotten something before I...

Friend sent me this last week. So pleased I dumped Red Tractor 18 months ago. Would like to see the justification for union flags and red tractor logo on mushrooms from Poland!

After many years of service my Karcher hot water pressure washer has split coil. Looking to replace it with a Hyundai 2170PSI Hot unit. Does anyone have experience with either manufacturer? Should I stick with a new Karcher HDS 5/12?

We've started a flock of about 150 ewes. The accountant is asking me to choose between herd basis or stock basis for tax purposes. Comments please on the pros and cons of both as I have no idea which is the best way to go.

How much per head per week is a reasonable price to pay for mob grazing a few hundred sheep at this time of year. Loads of grass in big paddocks, good access but does need electric fencing for peace of mind.

Morning All, after some help - just had delivered a new MF 676 tedder but no handbook. I've looked online expecting to find a pdf but none is forthcoming. I've looked on the Fella site as well but all I can find are promo vids. The dealer is on it but that could take a week (or more). Question...

Has anyone gone into this legume and herb rich sward scheme? I wondered if it was worth considering.

Been using a Claydon for ages to good effect for cereals but about to embark on winter beans for the first time. What is the best set up for the drill - short boot or bean chute, 3" spoon or carbide chisel tip? Any help would be appreciated!

Quite simply is Ferric Phosphate as good as Metaldahyde for killing slugs?

We have a field planted late with spring linseed - linseed doing fine; went with 3 litres of glyphosate plus gly-fast in 180 litres of water prior to drilling but had to go twice as half the field was too wet to travel nicely. Yesterday, walking over, where we went the first time the kill is...

I had my Red Tractor assessment last week and failed as my slug pelleter is more than five years old and hasn't been tested - nothing that a £150 test won't sort out - but to my shame I wasn't even aware they should be tested now! Just a heads up to you all if, like me, you missed the law being...
