AIC welcomes Defra cap on SFI actions in move to sustain food production Farming Minister Mark Spencer MP made the announcement on SFI. The amount of land farmers in England can take out of food production under the Government's flagship environmental scheme will be capped, following concerns...

Need a hydraulic pipe for a 5150 but the dealer can’t get it any longer. Anyone suggest where I could try? My man in a van said he knew someone up north who advertised in Classic Tractor but couldn’t remember their name/details.

"The Wildlife Trust suggests people check their hedge both from a distance, using binoculars, and up close. The body is also urging you to report on neighbours, farmers or landowners who are brazenly breaking the rules and recklessly cutting their hedges by reporting them to the police for...

Dear Farmers Nine years ago, I gave my maiden speech in the House of Commons. I pledged that day to be a champion of the countryside and of my hard-working rural constituents. Nearly a decade later, I still stand by those words. It is farmers who feed us and proudly steward the land. You do it...

Anybody else ever have trouble with USB disconnecting? I have a Kingston G4 SD card adaptor that plugs into the USB port of my PC but whenever I try and transfer files, all USB ports (keyboard, mouse, UPS cable) including the SD card adaptor disconnect as if something has crashed. Is there an...

Anyone wish to comment if they feel M&S are always backing them as British Farmers?

Starting to get unreliable low seed rates on our Horsch Sprinter. Horsch have suggested it's like a dodgy seeding motor. Has anyone on here replaced one previously? I did a search back and found a post where @Longneck did so in 2018.

Anyone ever changed the bearing in this drive motor? Need to do it shortly I think but unsure how it comes apart.
