I predict that maize is the next thing they will ban, probably on a catchment wide basis.
Personally I wouldn’t mourn its disappearance as I feel it is largely responsible for our Tb issues, and with the runoff and damage to soils I see there is a far more compelling argument for that than...
Depends on your ground. I’ve cut 100ac today, will pick up tomorrow. My main concern is slowing the grass down so it can be rolled properly. I expect some frayed tempers from boss contractor tomorrow at some point as he plans to go somewhere else after but I have given him fair warning that I...
I tell the contractor what week I want him the day i put the fert on. Keep an eye on heading and give him heads up week before if weather looks good. Usually not far out.
Confidence, arrogance, lifetime expectations, self belief, entitlement, call it what you will. Private schools encourage a culture of success and competition both academic and sporting. Some state schools do this also but too few and there is far too much inverted snobbery in many state schools...
I would be more concerned with my qualification for ag inheritance tax relief if I took the retirement bung. Have the details for this scheme been published or is it just an idea being floated at this stage?

Having an idealogical objection to private schooling your own children makes absolutely no...
In the region of £150/acre in either circumstance without SFP.
That is mid/north Staffs but obviously your asking for information that is highly specific to location. That’s a lot I know but you simply won’t get any significant amount of ground unless you go there.
The only way to make feeding cattle pay is to produce all or most of the feed yourself, there was a time when byproducts could be bought cheaper than a homegrown ration but not now.
I’ve got empty sheds and quite happy to leave them that way for another month or two. I don’t think the beef price will stick where it is, feed costs have gone up a hell of a lot in the past couple of months. Stores can only go one way.
Get a size bigger than you usually wear, I bought a size 10 but they were too tight round my toes, hurt like hell after a night lamping, shame as they are a nice boot and waterproof if looked after, dubbed etc, which I suspect a lot don’t bother with.
