We're part way through a mid teir application and getting slightly cold feet. We deliberately haven't selected any hedge options within mid tier because the block of land we're putting in we want to continue annual cutting. But reading the CS mid tier 'general requirements' section you are still...

Effydral isn't available any more, what would be the equivalent? Anyone using electro-kel? I don't find the gel products very easy when tubing.

This paper is useful for anyone who finds themselves floundering when trying to explain the impact and significance of using the correct metric for agriculture...

Rather a confronting table from the latest CCC report

We are having to replace some of the tongue and groove flooring, does anyone know where I can source this sort of bolt?

Inspired by @Pan mixer I've taken my own blue sky today

Does anyone know how we can source a second hand plate and pin like this? Plough breakers? It is for a Kverneland 85-160-8

field sub-divisions RPA mapping has created in this humble 11 acre permanent pasture field? It now takes up 13 lines on the field data sheet. 13 splits over 11 acres must be a record?! Is anyone else missing the facility to hover over a field feature and it highlights which feature is...

We're trying to decide if we can extend our current parlour and change standings to 50 degrees. Changing to 50 degrees would reduce the pit width from our current 6 '6" to 5'. It would save a lot of building cost if we could extend rather than a new build. Is 5' wide enough? (20:40 swingover.)

What fittings do I need to get? It is 22mm outside diameter. I have been on here: http://www.hendersons.co.uk/pipework2/page2.html But I find these black pipes a mystery, end caps, olives etc???

I lost a 5 day old heifer calf tonight after a weird sort of a fit and I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything similar? She was perfectly normal, full term, strong and sparkly and had colostrum and no issues. She was up and waiting, all excited and up for it, started guzzling her milk from...

I bought one of these to try, it fits fine but the tests seem very short, half the length of the proper wyedale teats. Does anyone else use them, what do you think of them? www.kiwikit.co.uk/product/excel-euro-softy-teat-with-elbow/

We have been advised that it may be worth putting a layer of polythene under a new concrete pad to stop dry warm ground from drawing the moisture out of the new concrete. Is this advisable/something anyone else has done? @RWG Contracts

We have an approx specification from ahdb but need to translate it into what our local sand quarries produce.AHDB say at least 80% 1-2mm;(ideally nothing over 3mm and nothing less than 0.6mm). Our local quarries don't produce to this tight a specification, what grade do other people use, how...

We were still dithering about LED grant and the 30th June deadline came and went. Do we know if this grant will have fresh application rounds like the old FFIS scheme? :scratchhead:

We have submitted an application for a new cubicle shed and received an email from the planners saying they can't validate the application until we submit an 'operational management plan' detailing how odour, water and waste is to be managed/disposed of. Has anyone heard of one of these, had to...
