Anyone had one done recently with price of steel etc, my 300 is getting ready, is it reline or trade up time?

Anyone know where I could get a tup from please

Thats what I was thinking, around 10% give or take, our lime varies between 42 and 46%, so 10t per acre would be 1 ton NV or approx 2 ton lime equivalent?

That’s helpful, the N is .52 as opposed to 5.2, but that’s just a decimal point move. The product itself here is actually known as Lime Cake, I said Sewage Sludge so folk would understand. Ours is Lime treated and heated, so there’s a reasonable liming value attached, it’s just not that easy to...

Not rocket fuel then🤓 In fairness it’d be the Lime that would have the most value, if it could be calculated😳

Should be .52! Does that make it 10 units…

I am trying to do the sums on Lime Cake (sewage sludge) at the minute and struggling! They’re saying : N @ 52 kg/t P @ 2.78 kg/t K @ 0.35kg/t At say 10 tons to the acre how many units are being applied! The lime value is a bit sketchy, saying approx 40.47% DS which I’m assuming is Dry solids...

Sterilisation I expect, no burning, no peat cutting, no stock or stock limits, no supplementary feeding etc and brace yourselves for another influx of camper vans, nappy bags in hedges, empty bottles chucked in fields for the chopper to devour?

Says who, we just all got this through the post😳, my bottom feels sore just reading it, think I maybe getting legally robbed..

We have just had this slapped on us, looks like the plough is the least of our worries. Biggest land grab since the clearances by the looks, and all legal would you believe !

I am afraid I didn't !!

I just thought the 6 row would be more suited to challenging situations which we get up in northern Scotland, they used to grow Bere on Orkney but of course with easier access to inputs they’ve moved across to 2 row. Thought it be interesting to see how a 6 row would do with the same inputs as 2...

With the prices of inputs, thought crossed my mind re old 6 row types. Due to our location and being needed only for stock feed wondering if anyone is still growing these and any advice please

We never used to scratch until we came to the current farm, which did have an off problem to be fair. I remember moaning about it on the telephone one day to one of my elderly neighbours from where we used to farm. Always remember him saying ‘just stop doing them’ he said you’ll have a year of...

Ouch, and here’s me moaning about our ‘Highland Vet’ charging about that for a cow

I almost thought as much before I clicked post, but you don’t know if you don’t ask!
