I’ve only got a couple of gilts but they need treating for ticks. What can I/can’t I use? I think Spot-On is out for pigs so what else please?

Would someone direct me to the prior notification rules for ag buildings please?

A barn frame from Norfolk to Salisbury please

We normally feed ours just good silage once they’ve calved in the spring, having been on hay pre-calving. Good chance we’ll be short of silage in the new year. Assuming I can’t get hold of more silage any suggestions what I could add to good barley straw (which I have plenty of) to replace the...

Looking at choices for knocking down ploughing in the spring on easy worked chalk. Fair few years ago we had a Vaderstad NZ which did a great job. Unfortunately we wore it out. I’m not keen on it’s replacement so won’t mention the make but looking for opinions on the following for the job...

Any suggestions for an abattoir in the south for a non assured cull cow please? She needs to go on welfare grounds so can’t send her live. Only the one to go so it would be helpful if they had a ‘round’ collecting up ones and twos

Our current farm plastics recycler is proposing to increase their prices by nearly 50% for the coming year, and whilst their collections are convenient I keen to not be paying over £700pa for the pleasure! I doubt the quantity of what we send would fit in £700 worth of skips, and I don't want...

Is it normal or accepted practice to need to put shims between the axle and the chassis on a new machine to level it up?

Whilst we haven’t finished calving yet, we currently have 15% twins. Seems a lot to me. Wondering if others were seeing more twins than usual or just us, or what might explain an increase?

Can I safely swap my 265/60/18 truck tyres for a set of 265/65/17 wheels and tyres? I believe hubs are the same so just wheel and tyre size difference

Want to get some iodine to pour on the autumn calvers backs but not sure where to get it? Any suggestions please? I’ve had some from Wynstay in the past but they have now shut my local branch. Mole Valley Countrystore aren’t any help as it’s not for horses! Mole Valley Farmer looked at me as if...

Can someone give me the basics of applying for a grid connection in your own name rather than allowing a developer to do it for you? Is it feasible, how do you apply, what are the costs and timescales? Coming at it from complete ignorance

As above, thinking of changing a grain bucket and muck grab. Are JCB's own good, and do they make them themselves or are they a JCB sticker on someone else's product?

Does anyone have a part worn but usable tyre of the above size they no longer need? Preferably down south? Thanks for reading

Has anyone recommendations for a mix for the above? We’ve some to establish soon and am after suggestions for the most productive seed mix that still satisfies the Stewardship requirements. It’s really unlikely to ever be grazed, so all for silage

A pair of 650/65/38 and a pair of 540/65/28 needed near Salisbury Considering budget or premium depending on price

What age do people recommend starting to use a bull? For a couple of reasons we ended up using one last year at about 15-16 months old on up to 24 cows depending on how many the previous bull had served before being swapped. 22 pd’d positive, one empty, one freemartin. Doesn’t appear to have...

posted in the wrong section. Oops

Appreciate this a bit how long is a piece of string....but would one bale of silage = 1t of beet for a suckler cow? Roughly!

I think our straw chopper could do with new knife sections as it isn’t grabbing the straw very well- is there an alternative to replacing with Lucas ones? They would be over £300
