Milk taint smell. We are organic and have had huge problems with tainted milk. Suspected ...TBC, teat dip, ketosis. Etc eventually stopped feeding last seasons silage. Fed some 4 year old silage from the back end of the clamp. The milk is no longer tainted. Must be the charlock/dandelions or...

Good afternoon, I've been a long term follower of the farming forum, as a new start some of the things I've learnt have been truly priceless. One thing that has struck me though, is every so often I will find a word, term or phrase that I'm just not 100% on what it means. This isn't limited to...

anyone growing it? Is it as good as this advert makes out? Yield and protein really that high?

Hi Lads ,, I know this subject has been covered before but can anyone tell me if there’s an adjuvant that covers all so to speak! I spray @ 95—100 Ltrs per ha and have used Kantor and torpedo 11....

Had the vet out Monday for a sick calf. Inconclusive diagnosis, but treated for listeria. Today, another one. On closer inspection I found this, It looks suspiciously like Ragwort. Is there anything I can do?

Soz, I know this has come up many times, just can't be bothered searching. When using cheap glyphosate at say 3 l/ha what's a cost efficient wetter to use with it? Everyone has been enthusiastic about LI700 from memory, what sort of price is it currently and what rate? Any other options?

Cut a neighbours field and she let us take the hay - full of wild flower seeds/pollinators. Im wondering if the sheep will be interested in these in the hay or will they be last on the palatable scale? Is there anything good in this hay mix. Got quite a few bales off it for free anyway. Also...

We've recently planted a 4 acre field with a mix of grasses and wildflowers for horse grazing. Mid may I think it went in. Thought it was growing really well but just today I've spotted that it isn't grass that is growing in huge huge areas of it. It's corn spurry! I had to search around on...

Much is made of the anthelmintic value of chicory in a herbal ley. Does this efficacy carry over into a conserved crop, with chicory in it?

I would like some suggestions based on general knowledge and experience please. Last year, when I was unable to do any work for most of it, I had an influx of a weed that had first noticeably appeared the year before. Unfortunately most of it seeded last year. The commonest weeds have changed...

I'm toying with the idea of trying a hamp ram on some lleyn and lleyn cross. I'm hoping what I've heard about being fast growing and easy lambing is true? I'm slightly concerned I'll get punished selling live with their Woolley heads/ faces, will I? Are they ok to put on ewe lambs? Interested...

Has @Goweresque started his usual thread ? Hands up who’s made a start? Mowed 30 acres of new seeds today for haylage. Looked promising but bugger all in the bottom, was my best field too!

As the title says really. We have a field of plantains, chicory red clover and grass. We are thinking about baling it but don't know how it will turn out. Has anyone tried this how did it go?

Written by Agriland Team Docks are known to be one of the most troublesome grassland weeds, but did you know that leaving them in your silage this summer could have implications for next year’s weed control? Short-term, the presence of broadleaved weeds in grassland will limit grass yield and...

Any idea what this is please? Found lots of it in a meadow sown with green hay from a flower meadow next door.

Buttercup and Dandelion Buttercups emerge in April so this is the ideal month to target them. Often, the trigger for spraying a field of buttercups is once the farmer has noticed that the field has turned yellow as the buttercups flower. Best control of buttercups is achieved if they are...
