cultivations

Inspired in some way by the gatecrash of the Fendt gearbox thread, just thought I'd see what folks did. 20 years ago we managed with two 6290's and a 3075, and up to three hire tractors at peak times and contractor help for beet drilling and harvesting, hedge cutting, square baling, destoning...

I gave up second wheats a good few years ago due to grassweed control, lack of!, thought I'd give it another go as the farm is cleaner and now running a disc direct drill, flooding aside, it looks terrible, what have people learnt with DD second wheat, as I'm now hearing advice along the lines...

Next year we are 70 cows, Spring calving. Buffered maize in dry spells and turnips/kale over the winter, out pretty much every day for a few hours. Unfortunately even though we try to keep everything simple we still need a loader tractor, just can't see how it's possible without making life...

What % of your intended winter crop have not been planted or damaged by flood/slugs/ flee Beatle?

Do you calculate your farm's carbon footprint?

As above please. Only want to plough six inches deep so power not an issue but lift requirement is. Ideally would be hydraulic vari width but this would probably make it too heavy so may be manual vari width would be a good compromise. It would either go behind a Fendt516 or a 64 Jd.

Currently a traditional set up; plough/ heavy cultivations then drill but looking at going straight in to stubble or minimum amount of tillage. Looking at a Claydon, are they any good…? Cropping consists of wheat, barley, oats, maize & grass but obviously would only be for cereal crops.

Watch this. Very interesting counter arguments to the CC monster.

Not much mention of the quadtrack on this forum. Not sure whether that’s good or bad! I’m looking for opinions please. It would be an older one between the £40,000 - £70,000 price range. HP isn’t important as it’s more about the ability to travel in less than ideal conditions putting in cereals...

what does a healthy population of Red Kites number? What does it indicate? Going back 20 years when we moved here it was a unique occasion to see one circling overhead maybe once every 6 months. Now, they are always present. Today I stood in the field and watched, as no fewer than 12 circled...

As much as you like your job I am sure you like some weekends/time off . Does your boss have a relief sprayer operator, to give you some time off. Or perhaps you are single and just live for your job,so don’t want time off. I ask the question as I know of a very conscientious young sprayer...

Hi - im new here. I'm currently researching the market for automated (parametric) climate insurance for a variety of businesses across the UK. i.e. if it hails with greater than X force/energy, you get paid out some % per £1 insured next day, simple. However, the more time i've spent reading...
