And it's nothing to do with deer. Started the 2nd N application on Wheat yesterday and I had to drive a quarter of the wheel over on the headland tramlines to prevent puddles created from previous passes spraying everywhere and to level the soil a little.It wasn't too bad, I thought,as I drove...

Lambed a ewe last night and the lamb,although very bright,seems unable to suck on the teat.I milked her out and tubed the lamb and repeated 3 hours later.The colostrum/milk was fine.Went to do it a third time and the milk was pink from,I assume,a little blood in it.The udder is soft and...

Our farmyard is full of them,the Starlings are feeding on the TMR and the Sparrows,well,I'm not sure really. The yard is clean and concrete everywhere but the Sparrows have crapped all over the tractors and telehandler.I had to jam the Combine,which had been fully cleaned and washed post...

So the readings have disappeared and the little red flashing light has become permanently on.Does anyone know the procedure with the company I have the fit agreement with.It appears the meter may need changing and I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar position and knows the...

Reading through a local Ag mag,The Farmer, I came across a small article on Climate change and Walsall Council.Their director of health,one Steven Gunter,is recommending meat free days to help fight climate change. He stated "Animal products generally need more land,energy and water in their...

Have two grain trailers arriving for harvest and have decided to fit reversing cameras on them.I was wondering if anyone has any opinions or experiences as to which are the best to purchase as regards quality and width of angle. Thanks

We are seeing high levels of Septoria in our wheat, even on varieties such as Champion and Extase.Our agronomist says all crops the company are walking are the same and it seems to be throughout the country.Lets just hope we get some settled weather and are able to protect new leaves although...

Could our Government, through DEFRA,be accused of the same ? Food shortages have arrived far earlier than I thought with vegetables such as Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Lettuce resulting in the supermarkets rationing and yet our Government wannt to reduce production by 10 % to,supposedly, help the...

We have a couple of trailers on order with floatation tyres and I was wondering do they pull easier on the road compared to super singles.I would imagine not but keen to hear your thoughts.Thanks.

I thought when he was promoted to secretary of state for Environment, food and rural affairs we would have someone with real farming knowledge working for our behalf.How so wrong I was.Puppet springs to mind.

I was reading our local farming mag and came across an article on this company.After reading the article which was all waffle and jargon I looked at their website which was even worse.I wasn't totally sure what they did but think it was all about knowledge exchange.Perhaps it's me and my age but...

Started losing heat yesterday afternoon and went out overnight I've checked the oil flow from the tank to the Aga and it seems OK.Ive blown out the ports around the wicks and had a scrape out of coke given it a general clean. I managed to re light it but it appears to be slow coming up to heat...

I've just read that all Exeter Council internal meetings will be provided with plant based catering only.Is this true ? What a kick in the teeth for Devon livestock farmers and the fantastic countryside they nurture. For a start it's so misguided and based on propaganda, what would the Devon...

Anybody deal with them,good or bad ?

Hi, We're thinking of changing 2 grain trailers and wondered what your thoughts are on Marshall.TIA

We were moved by Eon to Eon Next for our pv generation and export.During the process they lost some of our data and their lack of comprehension is staggering.We have had no payment since January and their statements are bizarre to say the least.We have a 15.120 kw followed by an extension of...

We breed a few Shearling Rams for sale and recently we've been looking for a new stock ram.On our visits to the English Premier sale and the Builth main NSA I was staggered to see the amount of Texel lambs and Yearlings being offered with these huge ugly heads.Having bred Texels for nigh on 25...

Did anyone watch last night ?The talk was all about energy production.Piers Morgan made the point that not only was energy important but food production too.He said it was madness importing food,with all its associated climate issues and balance of trade deficits,when it could be produced at...

As someone who knows little about RTK systems I was wondering which would be best to fit to our autosteer ready Kubota M7 tractor.Are some better than others? Thanks

I suspect many farm businesses will be in the same position as us in not really knowing how the Government support for electricity prices will work.We have a business meter which provides electric to both the house and farm buildings and the Government energy cap is for domestic households so I...
