    Lumbered with a 28 mile school run.

    In 2021 Cambridgeshire council placed Child A at Isleham primary where my wife teaches, now its placing Child B at Littleport in 2023. We have appealed and failed, apparently the logistics of a 28.6 mile school run twice a day are our problem. My wife teaches 2.5 days a week at Isleham and thus...

    Ground Mount Solar Self Install.

    Decided to have a go at installing 70kw of solar ourselves, because installers are hard to find. I do have an MCS qualified electrician lined up to do the wiring though, not that mad. Naturally in between drilling wheat and so on, and with only two of us working on it when we have time, it’s...

    Not really ag related, but the tears of outrage from the progressives are quite delicious.

    Did an interview on BBC Breakfast this morning pushing for egg price rises.

    I don't suppose the retailers will listen, but fair play to the BBC they put the case very neatly. The British Retail Consortium don't seem to have a problem passing on fuel cost rises, it's just the food producers that have to bear the costs. @Suffolk Serf @Pan mixer maybe the pig and poultry...

    Anyone got an Opico grain dryer control box….

    Like this? Can’t get any sense nor reason out of the screen any more! It’s from a mid 1980s vintage diesel fired 580s.

    Arable farmers, is it essential that……

    When you get your Lexion out of the shed you have to state something portentous on Twitter such as: ‘Winter barley is a go’ A go? What is this mangling of the language? The correct phrase surely, is something like ‘harvest has commenced’ Alternatively: ‘The barley isn’t quite fit but we’re...

    New grain silo build.

    It occurred to me that I should stop sticking pictures of our silo build on @Woldgrain Storage excellent silo thread and start my own! Pics of the build of a 700ton Sukup drying and stirring bin to feed our poultry feed mill. Stirrers will be used to blend wheat/barley/rye etc together which...

    British Sugars Penultimate Sugar Campaign. 2021/22

    Ahead of tonight's online bunfight, I thought I'd start a new thread for this year's beet crop. I assume all growers have signed up for the meeting? With the 3 year contracts ending next year, this year could be the 2nd last year of having a viable sugar industry in this country. Or maybe...

    Pre-ems into a lot of trash.

    A lot of trash on the surface after our Claydon twin disc demo. Is a pre-em going to work well into this? What do the hard core no-tillers do?

    Do oats do much in a cover crop mix?

    Got this summer catch crop of radish, mustard and black oats that is motoring along. But do the oats actually do much, shaded out in the bottom of the crop?

    FarmTRX aftermarket yield monitor

    I saw this in an article in the Farmers Weekly the other week. Has anyone got one or know anything about them? https://www.farmtrx.com/videos/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9IX4BRCcARIsAOD2OB2sVkZwfaqHmtrED1XmTH66gmJHXhjciDtC99xo0YepsvEolk9z82caArYIEALw_wcB
