sorry if this should be in IT, but it affects many rural communities. I've had a 4G router or MiFi unit powering the internet. For years I have been restricted to Data allowances, but Three have just launched an unlimited package for £20 per month. I wouldn't have know if I hadn't had reason to...

local farmer owns the private road a number of residence have the right to pass over. It's getting bad with potholes and I'm trying to think of a pleasant way to ask him to sort it out. In the past I bought some tarmac and filled them in myself, but he was quick to point out it was his road and...

There is some rough grazing along a river at the back of my house. Local farmer has just rented it and asked if he could have permission to drive around the edge of my field on a quad to get access to said land, otherwise it's a 25 mile detour and means crossing some wet ground at the other end...

They say every day is a school day, and here's something I just learnt the hard way......If you phone your insurance company to query a potential claim, they will take details and give you a reference number to short cut the system if you call back. This is what they did when I enquired if I had...

After Farmcare announced they were no longer going to be "active farmers" and put their land out to rent. What happened after that? Did someone like Velcourt just absorb it all, or did it get split amongst a "few", or did it just get scattered to the wind with neighbours taking on bits all over...

I hear Ensus is closing at the end of Nov.....who knows for how long, but they clearly didn't have much appetite for wheat over £180.

Well that came round quick!! One month until cereals! Who's going, who's not? I know a few exhibitors pulled out last year, any no shows this year? Looking on their website the Drone seems to be getting featured more....anyone going to look at Drones? I guess there are more specialist events...

Long running issue with the local farmer who I bought this house from. I keep finding him hiding in bushes with binoculars, covertly filming my kids when we are out walking. Even caught him photographing a kids party I had in the garden. Doubt there's anything pervy about it, he's just an...

Please can someone help me out with regards to the new rules coming into effect on the 1st of Jan 2020. I was always under the belief that as my existing septic tank had a discharge to ground water of less than 1.8cu I didn't need to change, but I'm now being told everyone needs to upgrade by...

Prime pigeon shooting time, but I'm yet to see any. the farms I shoot over all report a lack of pigeons. Have numbers dropped off this year or are they all on your farm?

I'm finding more and more farms are providing their own samples with merchants simply collecting a box full from the office or weighbridge. I'm also seeing farms sending samples to 3rd party labs and issuing results to their preferred buyers. And the latest method is farms who have their own "in...

Wheat plantings will be kicking off soon. What sort of growing contracts are people hearing? Any weird niche varieties? Any premiums to encourage people to plant group 1's or 3's? I've heard there is a big requirement for Spelt growers in the north? What are you hearing?

what kind of prices are folk hearing for SPD seed? I've heard some varieties have already sold out. What's the general feeling on varieties? Is there a "Must Have" this year?

Any one doing the Scottish game fair this weekend? Sounds very agricultural but can't believe it's so close to the Highland. Is it any good?

It's trial plot season, and everyone is making planting decisions for next year. What sort of premium buybacks are people hearing?

Do many people use Bio-stimulants? Is it snake oil?

I used to have Norton antivirus protection on direct debit for my home PC. Every year it automatically renewed but they used to charge me more (as a loyal trusting customer) so every year I had to phone them up, complain, and they'd give me some money back. Anyway, I've cancelled the payments...

Dear KWS, if you are going to use a cowboy in your advert for Django.....it might be a good idea to use a black dude.

Here's a sexy new gadget from Three called a Home-Fi unit. Works on the same principle as a mi-fi unit HOWEVER.....it has a far greater range of signal, it comes on a 12 month contract at £20 per month for 40Gig per month, you can link 30 units onto it, it has Ethernet ports and external aerial...
