    Ask yourself.. As a farmer do you qualify for a foodbank? Discuss?

    I have a few neighbours who would qualify for foodbanks as farmers because every year they earn nothing after growing thousands of pounds of food.. Is this the future in the UK?

    I’ve got a fuel store running a 12v transfer pump (Piusi bi pump) on a tractor battery. I was thinking of hooking up a solar panel to the battery to trickle charge and keep it topped up. Max workload on pump would be at harvest where it may work for an hour everyday, after that it would be...
