    Hotline Firedrake fault

    Hi all. Looking for help with the above energiser. When plugged in to the charger, charger flashes red/green, instead of going red while charging, and then green when charged. Does anyone know what this means?

    Orchard Ermine Moth stripping hedges

    Note the cobwebs are black and not silver. They are full of black caterpillars. Seems to be a major invasion in this area this year. Anyone have experience?

    Spring dose

    What do people feel is best for first season grazing cattle? I've always just used ivermectin pour on, but got a little bit caught with lungworm last summer after the terrible wet May.

    The King's Speech (not the film*)

    Well? How do we think he did? As a Charles sceptic, and in light of how most Royal ex-Queen TV appearances have gone in the last 30 years, I came out of it quite pleasantly surprised. The cynic might say that it was all written for him by downing street anyway. The main thing is, he kept his...

    Royal inheritance tax

    https://themanc.com/news/king-charles-iii-wont-pay-40-inheritance-tax-on-641-million-estate/ So I've read the reasons given in the article, and can see the merit of them - but then I could apply most of them to my (or your) farming situation too. I think he should pay up, or we all get the...

    Salman Rushdie

    Looks like he's out of danger, but with life changing injuries. I was shocked to learn today that he was attacked at Chautauqua, an ecumenical liberal Christian organisation which promotes engagement with the important social, political and religious issues of the day, in an open and diverse...

    Balancing rolled Barley...

    What are your preferred balancing ingredients, and in what ratios for growing and finishing cattle, with home grown barley? Only ones available to me are dry imported feeds like rapeseed meal, maize distillers, maize gluten, soyameal, pk, wheatfeed, citrus, beet pulp... And whether or not it's...

    Ad blue

    I've just got my first ad blue s/h tractor a few months ago, NH T7. Ad blue might become very expensive soon. Thinking of getting it mapped out. Are there drawbacks?

    Thought I'd make a start on what could be big news, depending on current spread and whether it evades vaccine immunity. Thoughts and information here please...

    Legality of livestock ownership

    My question is what confers ownership of farm livestock? Example Dairy herd. Partnership, mainly for tax purposes. No written partnership agreement. Anything which has a way of naming the owner (like a tractor, on the V5 doc) is presumably clear cut. A calf born on the farm was not bought...

    Restraint for serving maiden heifers...

    ...in Newton rigg cubicles? Yes, I know someone's going to come on and say you shouldn't be trying do that. It's older adapted housing, far from ideal. No convenient crush facility. Nowhere to hang an ai gate. Not possible to use locking yokes. I'm trying to figure out how to make some...

    Factories and Covid19

    It seems most weeks there is an outbreak at some food factory or other. Whether or not it is an actual outbreak, rather than that Covid has simply been discovered there due to lots of testing on the back of a case with symptoms, is another matter. After all, every food factory probably has a...

    Selling off the UK

    It's been going on for decades of course. But in a cynical move, last night at 10pm, after it thought everyone had gone home for Christmas, the government announced it's approval of the sale of Cobham to a US firm. Cue the sale of British agriculture and health... Discuss.

    What weight of cable?

    I've got a digger in to run some services to a small shed. It will only have lights, kettle, oven and other minor devices. No motors etc. The run is about 25 metres from the switch board. What weight of armoured cable should I lay down? Thanks
