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...
My son is considering having a small caravan park on a small piece of land. Mains electric is looking to be prohibitively expensive to get across to it. Could a central solar panel, or multiple solar panels ( one for each caravan perhaps) be feasible. Any experience , costing etc ,or thoughts...

The release of the new...

OK we have done this now in the resource section to try separate he questions and answers from the general chat - we will update it as new questions and answers are added to this thread...
May be of interest to some. Last year, in an effort to diversify, we decided to invest in diverting a small 5 acre field, (which lies quite wet in the winter and is only of use for grazing and hay making) to a campsite. We are right at the base of the blackdowns which are an AONB, and the field...
Farmers and growers flocked to the sixth annual Groundswell, the UK’s largest regenerative agricultural show in late June this year. It was another sell-out event with 5,500 attendees who travelled to North Hertfordshire for two days of information exchange, inspiration and a bit of liquid...
I don't want to be miserable or fail to honour the Coronation but another bank hoiliday in May next year - making 3 plus the two in April for easter is a bit more disruption to my business than I need given that we have to feed animals every day, send off to slaughter every Monday and the whole...
So our mains meter is approx 750m away from the house/barns.
There is about a 10m to 15m increase in elevation from the meter to the distribution point around the buildings.
The single main supplies:
6 bed farmhouse
3 bed barn conversion X2
2 bed barn conversion x2
1 bed barb conversion x2

We have a field that is adjacent to a static caravan site.
I've noted for about the last year (maybe even longer) that we seem to have a significant wet patch (present even during the dry spell) that seems to be attributable to the neighbouring caravan site.
From the caravan site our field has...
Probably one of the strangest posts on TFF, but here goes!
Wanting to put a urinal on our campsite, and want something a bit quirky. Thought of a cut down beer barrel, but the local pub has these. Anyone think of something agricultural that we could adopt? Wondered about the individual...
Commonland landscape partner Wij.land has developed the BoerenWijzer, a tool based on the 4 Returns framework, to help farmers define, achieve and measure their sustainable agriculture goals.
The BoerenWijzer shows how well a farming company scores on sustainable themes grouped in six...
Set the planning stuff aside. Has anyone converted an existing shed for a kids soft play area, hiw did it work out. We have an existing 6 bay shed right next to our campsite and it's just been an idea floating around my head the last while.
This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch. All are welcome, you can even post prices if you want. The only rule...
So if we announce that we are going to / or just have discharged sewage on social media does that make it all right then? FFS.

Should make a start on W Barley tomorrow, should have everything that is ready knocked out before the weekend. Forecast for our neck of the woods next Sunday is 41 degC. I know in other countries it reaches these temperatures all the time, but just seems too risky from a fire point of view to...
I’m looking into getting planning permission for 12 huts with aim to be open all year round. No electric at site, just mains water. The council say I'll then need a site license to operate.
Loos will be basic compost with wood shavings in a bucket to be emptied into a heap on farm and allowed...
