I have been approved for a grant and after a year of going through the planning process I am going backwards not forwards, with a June deadline approaching for the next paperwork I dont know my next step. My questions are, has anybody actually made it through the grant application process and...

Just a quick link for anybody like me who is trying to get planning for a lagoon. There was an update on the guidance on 6th Feb this is the link Slurry Infrastructure grant planning applications: Natural England’s advice for LPAs - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) The important part is, Help with planning...

Have a new to me drill with seed eye. Think I’ve got to grips with most of it. Started it for the 1st time on spring beans this week. Rate was saying it was spot on but wasn’t really correlating with the bags and my maths. I did quite a bit of changing the rate. Wasn’t pushing the speed. New...

I know the three of you are not really that much interested in my vote. The NFU seems a closed shop and living in one of the safest conservative seats in the country my vote for an MP is next to worthless. I thought I would let you know that I am feeling just a little bit sad at the state of...

I am at the end of my 3 year cycle for Nroso. What with one thing and another I have not managed to do as many training events as usual and ended up with 29 points. Saw this on my statement and coincidentally my local NIAB conference was last week so I popped along and signed the BASIS and Nroso...

I am very disappointed according to this nice letter from Transport for London my 6250R is not going to be clean enough for the ULEZ Mrs Bg was going to use it to go and see her dad. JD buck your ideas up…., Bg

Not really sure if this is the right place but I thought it as good as any. I live in a AHA tenancy listed 6 bed farmhouse. Over 600 years old some walls 2 feet thick with some only lath and plaster. Most of the roof is thatch an area of slate. I do have insulation. I have an aga, open fires...

Please laminate your windscreens Not fun at speed on a busy road. Pleased I wear glasses as I was covered in glass. Bg

I’ve driven a combine every harvest since I was 17, I’m 52 now and won’t be this year. With a dairy that takes up more of my time (and money) running my own combine is not really viable now. My last combine left this morning. It’s going to be a tough summer on a trailer but probably best in...

This has to be worth one of @Bald Rick s mugs @Chris F Been a few changes here and the dairy is grazing for the 1st time in 10 years today 10 mins running round and they wanted to come back in :ROFLMAO: Bg

I suspect I may have a small issue brewing with an area I own. The land is bordered by a river which is owned by a fishing club, I have the land registry map and the property register which states that I do NOT own the riverbed. This has always been my understanding, the question is where does...

I have a field of new grass seeds which is slowly being munched by frit fly. A change in policy with the dairy means that this particular field has had to go from a 2 year Italian Ley to a longer term grazing Ley. Normally I wouldnt do this, also due to having to cut everything as many times as...

Just had this sent to me. The coursing on and around Salisbury plain has been appalling this year. With numerous cars and dogs seized by a very proactive police force. But it is time for the government to think more about the rural population and the issues we have that don’t occur within the...

Mrs Bg has just had to create a QR code for the Church just in case one of the very few visitors wants to enter it on the NHS Covid app. It got me thinking about the farm. The .Gov website says businesses should have 1. There are few days when we don’t get a delivery and there are often visitors...

I have an Iphone 8. I use chrome to view TFF which I prefer over safari, if I want to upload a photo to a thread I have always used the attach files button, and selected the photo. Now when I do this and press done on the photo viewer it shuts down chrome. So I cant now upload photos. Any ideas...

Does anybody have a Marconi chart for beans. I seem to be able to do everything else. It’s the black meter if it makes a difference Before you all suggest I’ll also tag the guru @Lodekka :) Bg

So it’s a nice sunny day and I am in the middle of nowhere ploughing. The field has a footpath going though the middle. I have just had 16 blokes wearing nothing but shoes and backpacks walk by Not what I wanted to see while eating lunch Bg

I have been looking at pre em nozzles. Have tried all sorts over the years from flat fans to Hawk nozzles then Defy nozzles. For the last couple of years I have been using guardian air 04 at 150l which seem to be ok and not too bad with drift in the autumn. I was reading the Syngenta website and...

Just heard on the grapevine local contractor has had. 10 Starfire receivers, 7 Starfire screens and 20 main armrest screens stolen last night. Could be a few on offer if they are not already out of the country. Is there a market for the armrest screens? Bg

I know this has been done to death before, however I am getting fed up with having to clean the print head on my printer and continually changing ink cartridges. Its an Epson which I know dont have the best reputation these days but is a few years old. I need something for general office use, I...
