    BNG ongoing costs

    Anyone that's started down the road of using some land for BNG unit creation? The initial selling price of the units looks attractive but I'm trying to get some idea on what the ongoing costs and management restrictions are? Putting in a mixture of Other Neutral Grassland and Lowland Meadow...

    Is Red Tractor Legal?

    Thankfully, I never had to be involved in Red Tractor. Does not Red Tractor amount to a restraint of trade?

    Grazing kale twice

    If I put kale in at the start of April and grazed it off in June or July would it grow back again ok to graze in the winter ? I’m sure there was a thread on here somewhere about it but can’t find anything

    Horses..

    Just an observation last night as driving home. Lot of horse paddocks on rough ground. At the moment lot I went past are just muddy bogs. Some right against the river. (if was cattle then would be hell to pay...) Nothing against horses, but surely would be better covering the pony paddocks in...

    Protest cancelled due to lack of interest

    Two weeks ago I asked for volunteers to help organise a farmers protest. To make the risk-reward of farming worthwhile. JUST ONE FARMER STEPPED FORWARD! In the face of this level of apathy I give up on trying to get (English) farmers to do anything. Indeed, the vast majority of comments on...

    So if I went for 3 years in the same spot, surely I could drill it in year one, and every year after just cultivate it once and the volunteer seed return would be enough to grow a crop for the next year and so on. Making a significant saving on seed costs. What are your thoughts

Red tractor survey to ‘inform’ the reviewers. first I have heard of it, nothing in the latest member matters, on any email or on social media. feels like they are trying to keep it quiet as usual.
