I was thinking about imports undermining our standards and prices. It doesn't even need imports to meet our standards. What I mean is, they don't need to be imports.

I asked a question on here a while back re a building company wanting to put a compound in our field, the answers were all helpful and we got a suitable result.
We've now been approached by Network Rail, wanting to put 2 x 600m sq compounds in 2 adjacent fields, and have access along about a...

Another well written piece by the Guardian and I note it's been pointed out we have the lowest food prices in Europe, not a word arguing against increases.
Not that there's a...

Hi,
Looking at a corn mill roller and it has a 3 phase 15kw motor on and our electric supply isn’t strong enough to power this setup. What I’m thinking is to put a hydraulic motor on it and run it off a spool on a tractor or manitou third service.

Does treated grain go off? How quick does it need to be used by?
What moisture content does the barley need to be at prior to treatment?
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...
I was just looking at the price of parts to restore a Lemon PTO Shaft.
Looking at a new PTO guard and 2 new Hardy Spicer bearing ?
I looked on line and a new PTO shaft is is around £160

what’s the going £ rate for disposal ? Or is it likely somebody would take it to crush for...

I am now thinking of using a...
Hi There. Not a farmer but got 8m3 of hardcore from the back garden if anyone wants to come and collect it. I live in Hove so a big van would probably do the trick. Thanks Ben
