    Last field to be harvested.

    17 acres of May drilled spring barley to harvest here, praying for Saturday to be as good as forecast. 14 acre of it looks ok, 3 acre in a remote corner not seen it so hope so. Am I the last?

    Precision fermentation which can make dairy protein without the cow! Seemingly cream cheese and ice cream being sold in the US now using this method! https://perfectday.com/...

    Sheep options with excess grass

    Just wanting to gauge people's thoughts. We've taken on some extra grazing (for several reasons it just makes sense) but in all honesty don't have the mouths to keep it down. We've been gradually expanding, and do still want to expand. But can't afford to buy the required amount this quickly if...
