Do I get a prize? 1st year of a ley. Will be mowing soon for silage.

As above really. New to me Kuhn spreader, otherwise very lovely.

Due to a time waster we have a male 10 week old puppy for sale. Brought up in our kitchen, currently with mum, grandma and sister (who we are keeping. KC reg, all the correct paperwork, Granddad was a working dog winner at Crufts.

Not much on here about it unless I haven't looked properly (I am male and therefore very possible according to the wife) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-68255550

I am wondering how much land I 'farm' that would fit in with flood plain or managing water storage to prevent flooding. No where is there any information about this. If I could get some of this sort of sub I might view SFI under a different (brighter) light. The below pictures happen every...

Sorry if this is elsewhere. Over here in (historically) sunny Essex we have a long term average of 495 mm. We had 662mm in 2021 making it a wet year, 432 in 2022 making it a dry year. This year we have been 'lucky' to receive 808mm which is a cool 163% of normal. How about some of you...

It says that the file is too large - this has only happenend since the last update, before that I could post as many as I like. What is the secret?

Anyone know of a supplier of these that are not going to make me remortgage the farm to purchase 30?

As above, hep P + born April May 22. £180 each or discount for the lot. Grass fed, difficult to photograph.... They all look very like this. There are a lot of them out there really.

Watching Harrys Farm this evening he mentioned a deadline for aplplication for SFI, as it is getting closer (he said August 18th) I thought that I ought to have a look. It says apply from your normal RPA portal, off I go to that, press the SFI button, nothing there. Is this just me?

As above really, text came through this afternoon asking for a 'farmers photo' I rang my dealer (a lady) immediately and without preamble she said "No, I don't want an unclothed picture" I am tempted to use one of a celebrity as we have never met and I don't want to shatter her delusions.

This turned up in my inbox today. I am afraid that I remain sceptical about how cost effective SFI is going to be for me. Once my CS agreements expire I may be ploughing everything up and planting wheat.

I suppose that this is machinery since we use electric for quite a lot of gear. We had the neutral burn out on the top of a pole just before our meter today, we didn't see that though, just the RCD catching fire lower down. It took ages to track the fault - all 3 phase but in the end we...

There has been a lot of media interst in the sad case of that poor headmistress who ended her life following a change to the school's rating. I know one farmer who chose to end his own life due to worries about cattle passports. Surely that poor chap wasn't the only one in farming driven to...

I have a Trimble in another tractor but don't want to have to keep moving it from mower to tedder tractor perhaps 4 times a day. I have looked in vain through lots of these threads but can't seem to find out what I need to know. Cheap but good is the favourite, no need for autosteer at this point.

Anyone else having bother there today?

I know that this is a bit political but what do we think? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prime-ministers-open-letter-to-british-farmers-15-may-2022/prime-ministers-open-letter-to-british-farmers

At the risk of being drummed out of town this crossed my small mind the other day and the thread about adding N to a clover rich sward prompted me to ask myself this question. This for example is a section of an organic field that I have that appears to be rich in clover, picture taken 2 days...

I have had limited success with Thistlex in the past with Spear thistle. Anything any better that we are allowed to use nowadays?

I am a great believer in tyre sealant, especially in things like hay turner tyres. I have almost burst the veins in my neck squeezing sealant into tyres though and today's arrival has made me wonder if there is an easier way? There are at least 12 tyres on there.:rolleyes:
