Im looking to start and build some new silage pits in a completely new area of the farm. I want to go 4m high with the walls to try and avoid over filling and to get value for money out of the concrete pad. Building with conventional steel legs and concrete panels so that i can possibly put a...

Ideally I'd want to establish cover crops in two scenarios After winter barley and after spring barley. I'm in north east scotland so WB is cut early August, and SB cut late august, early september. I dont want to be growing brassicas, to keep club root down. I'd like to have something that...

We've gradually got kitted out to do our own puncture repairs but haven't got any tools to break the bead while the wheel is still on the vehicle. At the moment we have to take the wheel off, lay it down and use the edge of the handler bucket. Hardly ideal. What tools are best for the job? It's...

I am bringing several parcels of land back from the Contract farming lads and putting them into a STEPS scheme, similar to AB15 and GS4 in Mid Tier. Been a bit of a last minute Scheme, so no proper planning for an Autumn entry was planned or considered as regards herbides in the cereal crops...
