Has anyone got one of these or know someone that has, they claim to save up to 59% of cost on heating your hot water. Not like a conventional air source heat pump, I know they aren’t too good unless your house is well insulated...

I’m payin £9.60 a day standing charge in a half hour meter, 28p peak and 18p off peak. 60000 kWh yearly use. The standing charge seems a lot to me, is it? What’s everyone else paying?

Don’t worry folks, the 4 countries at the bottom of this list contain over a quarter of the worlds pooulation. If we can just get them to 1kg per capita of cheese a year, we’ll all be very rich!

Ok, I’ve lost the only key we had to our old 2011 Honda quad bike ( yes I know we should of had another cut). Our local dealer says we’ll have to have a new ignition and key, is that true? Most older tractor keys will open any other tractor if the same make, I can’t believe it’s not the same...

Hello everyone, my 300 cows are currently licking their way through 30 kgs of Cheshire salt blocks a day. That seems a lot to me. And expensive. Do they really need it or are they just doing it out of boredom. When they are out grazing they never touch the salt blocks

No mention in here of high inflation and especially high wage inflation increasing the tax take dramatically. Just a nice subtle bit of Tory bashing! And I’m not really a Tory voter https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66945729

Just a quick heads up really as I never knew it was something a cow could get! We introduced the whole crop too quick it seems and have had 2 cases of acidosis bloat, it’s severe and quick, the first died as It took me by surprise the speed of it, but the 2nd is now ok after I gave her 1.5...

Any body still got any cows on the old cheque book style pass port? We’ve got 3 left, good old girls

I didn’t want this lost in the arla thread. Part of the sustainability box ticking is the animal robustness points. You basically loose points if too many cows die or get put down on farm. I lost 10 out of 325 on farm last year and am loosing half my points! There is no direct penalty for...

As above really, I wanna get me grazing ground going and get some on for 2nd cut. I have some AN with I feel happy to spread, but not enough, and I have some protected urea, should I spread this with this current forecast that seems like we may or may not get some rain?

None of the apps are showing any rain for the next fortnight, I’m already worried!

What prices are people being offered per unit at the moment?

What are current offers for export prices per unit?

How much for an ice builder big enough to cool up to 8000 litres a day? TIA

Ok everyone, what percentage of your electric consumption is used on milk cooling do you think? I’m trying to work out if it’s worth having an ice builder running off my solar panels during the day to cool my milk?

Ok, machinery is not my strong point! At the moment we use a bobman to spread sawdust in our slatted cubicle shed and an ag dispenser on the front of my 145 hp Massey for the other cubicles and the Massey does the scraping. I have been reliably informed I should not use anything more than 2...

As above, feck that’s savage! I was thinking 40p would be the lowest! They’ve gone straight to that! Come in guys, 2 can play at this game. Get those cows culled earlier, cut back on the cake.

The digital reception on my tractor aerial is rubbish, what do all you people recommend as a good DAB aerial that can easily be retrofitted to my tractor? TIA

Does anyone know how many tonnes of brewers and distillers grains are produced in the uk? TIA

Ok people, we moved here 2 years ago and have just finished putting the borehole water to all the field troughs. But the mains water meter is still scooting round. There is no sign of a leak anywhere, no wet patches, nothing! Do I speak to south west water, hope they sympathise and send someone...
