    Heating a showroom

    My father has a bit of a showroom that he has his classic tractors in. He’s wanting some form of heating in just to take the chill off to stop condensation and damp. The room is around 50ft x 20ft x 12ft high, concrete panels down the back side, single pane glass on 2 sides and an insulated...

    Livestock trailer as a meal store

    Next year I will likely have to buy meal for lambing in big bags or get it blown into....... something. A proper silo is out of the budget and I have a neighbour that'll cause issues. Too many tipsy/jfc type meal bins would be required. Ratty will eat his way into IBC tanks. Small regular...

    This isn't going to end well!

    Considering how Israel reacts after a few rockets landing in waste ground somewhere, they're not going to hold back when they've been hit by what Hamas claim to be thousands. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-middle-east-67037895

    Oats for sheep

    Hi, I have an abundance of oats available they didn’t make milling 🫠 Due to there currently being “no market” for feed oats it seems like it could be a good feed source for my ewes and next years lambs.

    Sustainable farming

    Sustainability is surely the thing on which the world needs to concentrate. Measuring carbon etc. is surely all smoke and mirrors compared to showing that you live, work or produce in a manner that is [at least in the main] , infinitely repeatable.
