    Auto section retrofit

    Asking if anyone knows the cheapest way ( if possible) to put an after market kit together with this box to make the sprayer (JD512) auto section. Assuming could go matrix and boom pilot I think but also wondering if there's a better / cheaper way.

    Would I be better off starting a pig or poultry unit?

    Good morning, I'm doing a business plan project with Farming Connect looking at ways of adding value and income to my current beef and sheep farm, and I was wondering which one would be the better option.

    Used Bateman

    I want to go and look at a high hour Rb16, what are the common issues to check on it? Where do they wear? Is there any way of testing the hydrostatic system? Do they do 40k on the road? Do they have a foot brake or is it only braking through the hydro system?

    Is SFI panicking farming suppliers?

    From some conversations I’ve had recently, I’m getting the feeling there’s some panick in businesses that rely on farming customers that large scale SFI options could become very popular. For instance, suggesting that it wouldn’t be moral, or that you wouldn’t be a real “farmer” if you take...

    Protest cancelled due to lack of interest

    Two weeks ago I asked for volunteers to help organise a farmers protest. To make the risk-reward of farming worthwhile. JUST ONE FARMER STEPPED FORWARD! In the face of this level of apathy I give up on trying to get (English) farmers to do anything. Indeed, the vast majority of comments on...
