Which crop/s? Veg growers down here pay a lot more than you can make from growing cereals. Have you done all your costings and know what you can afford to pay?

We can only get machine rounds at work now, can't get peeled anymore

Bet that works out a fair few quid per metre.... Would lead not be cheaper? Looking good though 👍

The better stuff may cost more, but it should work out cheaper than having to replace it after 4 or 5 years

Lot of money on that trailer

In just about any way! I quiet honestly believe he has emotional scars following the lost of his mother, but the recent disclosures from him and his wife appear to be more to do with publicity/profit, than personal or public good. I feel they are playing to an American public. As an aside, the...

Pleased to hear your not in the same position as you were in the past. Doesn't matter who you talk to, but if you use them as a sounding board you may see more clearly what your thinking, running over things in my head results in everything getting clouded a fog of by "what if this? What about...

That all sounds pretty normal to people. We, on the whole, probably aren't as good at hiding things from those closest to us as we like to think. Some people have "short fuses" snap and get cross for a bit then it's out of the system, and on again. I think that's more healthy than those who...

Time to time, but I have never been employed in the traditional 9-5, 5 days a week, that would be a bit of a shock. It's stressful when the buck stops with you though.

This isn't a great time of year mentally as has been said. Do you know the root of your previous depression, and did you ever "get closure" or did you bury it with work? Your not trapped, I was about your age when I forced to start over with very little notice after investing many year of...

I think that's was what texel was saying.

Didn't know if I could like @holwellcourtfarm post or not, but I see what he is saying, the longer it takes to hit rock bottom the more damage done en-route. Question is, is the current environment the best you can provide for your kids? At the end of the day no one can provide the perfect...

Reading your situation @Bill the Bass I don't really know what to say. Hats off to you for trying to hold everything together, the pressure of running a farm and raising a family are enough for a couple, and I imagine your operating more as a single parent. Your mantras are good to get you...

Think it used to be done a bit on mild steel netting, not something seen much of down here. @Willie adie I guess the line wire is behind the netting?

@waterbuffalofarmer you can't reason with a self centred narcissist in my experience, and they will manipulate people and undermine you before you even realise they are out to get you, a lesson I learnt from bitter experience, and I see you have too. Try to avoid confrontation with your brother...

Sorry for your loss, how are you feeling now?

Vets charges are beyond comprehension I'm afraid, I got quoted £1200 to stitch up a 3inch tear on my dogs jaw, I didn't pay that but it was still a painful experience for my wallet. Nothing worse than the dogs mind being sharp and the body unable, but you can only do what is right. I was a...

Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time of it Gav. Hope the COVID hasn't hit you too bad, and that's terrible news about your dog (I guess, faithful rules out cats in my experience). Hopefully he isn't suffering too much, I'm sure you will make the right choice when it comes to it. I lost...

Sorry to hear you have lost so many friends in such tragic circumstances, glad to hear your not slipping into depression, it can be a difficult time of year with all the expectations that surround Christmas regarding celebrating family and friends. I did read on some clickbait recently that...

Stroke is a terrible thing, it can make someone a prisoner in their own body as I saw with my grandad. It's tough to see someone who has always been a symbol of strength reduced in the way your dad and grandad have been, but it must also be difficult for them going from the "supporter" to the...
