    Farm assurance again

    Another one done and dusted. That’s 20 years without a single non-conformance or point for improvement on the dairy or beef inspection. It is most likely to be my last dairy routine inspection as our age and regulations forcing de-stocking plus massive re-investment makes it likely that I will...

    Resistant ryegrass

    So I've got one field that is getting terrible for ryegrass. Planted maize this time thinking we could easily control it, wrong!
