We have an old slurry lagoon, has anyone ever filled one in by importing inert waste, ie muckaway from sites. An ideas on the financial rewards and planning etc. It has to be legit, I don’t want this biting me in the ass in a few years.
So, fert at £1k/t, wheat at £250/t for Nov. It doesn’t stack up, when or if, do we think U.K. Gov will come up with a plan to ensure food security going ahead. I’ve heard France are whispering about an export ban, the livestock boys are already feeling the pain of high prices, where does this...
As per poll. He wants to insult us, then let’s take the fight right back to the board and show them we are not naive, miss understood or back stabbers but we will stand up and be counted when needed.
Looks like we MAY get an opportunity to drill later this week, push on with Skyfall h/s and in stock or switch to sp barley or oats? All in stock and ready to go, I think stick with Wheat for another ten days max. Thoughts please
Has anybody else received the following email, asking for how it should be run in the future
Dear Red Tractor Member,
As we move towards a new era in British farming, it feels like the right time to reflect on just how far we have come as an industry. Many of you have been producing great...
If by chance you had a lorry coming in the morning for milling wheat and you knew for certain the sheet had four plus holes in it large enough for put a couple of fingers through, (seen the holes with my own eyes) and the haulier is telling you thats fine, would you load it???
Evening,
Looking for recommendations for a firm to supply and fit concrete panels, cladding and a roller door to an open framed Dutch barn, mid bedfordshire
TIA
Five loads gone out today off the same heap,average moisture 14.45%, last load 15.2% (included in the average) subject to a claim. Worth arguing the toss about or pay up and forget it??
Have been asked to grow 60ha next year on contract for Budweiser, anybody grown it?
Been advised against early drilling but I'm on chalk and want to drill at the end of Feb if conditions allow.
Brackling? Yield? Price?
TIA

Just measured my heap of barley to give me an idea what's there, am I correct in the following?
372 cubic meters x 0.67(67 bushel weight) = 249t
Average moisture 11-13% no point in correcting to 15% as what's there is there!
so following on from the other thread, forget your fancy seed rebate schemes that are not worth a penny to us growers in a high CSFB area, here's an idea from the farmers side, after all you all want to source farm assured OSR don't you?
I will supply as the farmer, the land, labour and all...
