Genuine Question.. Why is there so much hate for AD? Especially from within the Agri community?
I'm involved in AD compliance and I do encounter quite a bit of hate about the whole AD industry.
All AD plants within the next few years over here in N.I will be operating under a waste management...
You couldn’t make it up 😡 The Chair of Red Tractor has sold out all members. Whilst she is happy to take farmers hard earned money whilst tying them in ever tighter knots she is happy to vote against food imports having to meet the standards of the organisation she presided over in the UK...
Currently looking at putting up a new cattle shed, after some ideas and what you would recommend. Looking for it to hold around 100/150 head. Also cost wise how much money would I save if I was to make all internal gates, feed barriers myself rather than buying off the likes of a local merchant...
for years we bought straights and mixed small amounts through a normal concrete mixer for what we needed for small sheep farm , now we have started using home and dry and need to mix half or tonne at a time or so ,short of concrete floor for bucket mix indoors , has anyone ever tried mixing...
@DrWazzock mentioned how good Wolds land is.
I know they have this land in Lincolnshire & Yorkshire.
I would have thought steep, stony, shallow & prone to erosion.
But are there different types of "Wolds". JSR farming grow potatoes & onions on Yorkshire wolds so that must be good land...
I am in the same dilemma as everybody else; how much rapeseed do I try to establish this autumn. We are a plough based system at present and plough down a good dressing of broiler litter. Most of our crops established to some extent last time, but there are a lot of bare and weedy headlands...
Just seen this news on the Farmers Weekly website... More bad news for Openfield as they now lose their flagship contract to Frontier:

Does anyone know much about crusher hire rates? Clearing a site just now and could end up with 2-5000t of good rock broken out and wondering if it’s worth crushing to sell on?
Although I live 20 miles away from this because of my contract spraying I often work close to what is dumbed as Europe's largest building site. The big yellow crane was built last year and took 5 months and is the biggest in the world of that type. It is going to stay here 4/5 years but...
Rough cost for converting nice barn to houses, offices, holiday lets. Sound walls. Roof slates fine be would need trusses replacing. Water and electric already in. Where are the big / hidden costs?
It’s become almost an addiction here to drill rape for an early start to harvest.
The way our OSR looks this year we would of been better off fallowing for an early start. 30% was lost in the autumn which is now linseed, 20% has been put into barley or beans in the spring, 10% is in failed...
I'm getting quite a few letters at the minute asking for me to sign a grid mandate to allow a third party to speak to the DNO about a connection. They say it's not an agreement to work with them and doesn't tie me to anything. But I'm inherently sceptical.
Talking about £850/acre, but subject...
These are my 3 tractors for 2500 acre arable and a few sheep. I love the simplicity and yet have enough tech to do everything I need.
8530
7930
6930
Lowest hours 4400 highest has 6500.
but I will keep rebuilding them as nothing else really floats my boat.
my first memories of farm life are in the fifties, i was brought up on a small cheshire mixed farm, dairy, beef pigs, poultry, and sheep.We also grew potatoes cereals and green crop,its hard to believe it all fit in on less than eighty acres! the work was done by horses two shires and a...
South African advert, converts to £42,000, and 155hp.
How much would a basic weatherproof cab and a strong loader add I wonder? And how many people would buy one?
