    New tools for OSR, Wheat and Potatoes

    I have another post here (https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/free-cropmonitor-pro-licence.314499/) on the forum, but it seems that it isn't getting many lookers. Probably not the most interesting and engaging title. Hence the new post here. We are looking for farmers who are...

    The value of Slurries and Manures

    Hello All, I am interested to know what value people place on their slurries and manures, by which I mean, what would it cost someone to take it from you? Particularly keen to hear from chicken and pig farmers, as I don't imagine that many of the cattle folk have much going spare.
