Question as above, what’s your set up?
currently have an office in the house which isn’t horrendous but does mean there’s a mess all the time and it’s not really big enough. Plus I’d like to turn it back in to a dining room!
first thought was a site office type thing but would like it not to...
She's clearly biased towards the coporate members of the NFU compared to the farmer members. She's finishing naturally in February apparently but should she still be there today?
When she first took over she was on the Red Tractor board and wanted to remain on it whilst being NFU president...
I had a email this morning asking me to vote for existing and 2 new council members
None of the candidates I was ask to vote for have been nominated / seconded by farmers so I don't see that is actually a democratic process at all - its more a ratification of AHDB's interview and recruitment...
Anybody going? I’ve probably left it too late to go now, usually get invited by a manufacturer but I can’t be buying from the right dealers now!!
Anyone booked an apartment and needing a couple of extra people to fill it?
Mixing own grain here for ewes and finishing lambs, looking for something less hassle & accurate than loader and wall. Anyone using a diet feeder to just mix grain, like idea of it as can make up tmr if want and also maybe propcorn grain if need be. Any other options that would be worth...
Indians still build tractors very similar to MF 135, Ford 3000 & similar Renalt tractors.
Why don't they build a David Brown they were much more fun, especially DB 780?
Drilled a couple of fields of winter barley on Saturday and wondering wether to get them rolled tomorrow before rain Wednesday or leave till the spring. Ground conditions were reasonable but certainly not perfect for barley with the very odd damp patch. Having a glorious day today and the top...
says he is paying £18 for a 25kg bag of spuds.
A quick search shows that in 1960 a cwt of King Edwards delivered was 25 shillings, so 75p for 25kg (if my maths is right ? happy to be corrected ) .
So, for those who understand inflation and stuff, were spuds cheaper in 1960 or today ? My...

A thread for grassland/livestock farmers. There's lots of discussion threads covering arable too but seeing as SfI seems to want to see the back of livestock farmers I was hoping we could share what we're doing to recoup some lost subsidies.
the options seem few and some very negative opinions...
I'm very out of touch with spray contractor charges, last time I had some done it was £4/acre imagine far more now.
200 litres per ha pre-ems and post em herbicides what's the going rate.

Under request from @Bokey I have decided to dedicate a thread to the trials and tribulations on the farm, I shall endeavour to splice the good with the bad. A bit about us, 600 acres all told, 450 cropable, 8 years into organic, mainly arable with a few wooly critters, an impatient old man and...
Whilst killing as few other species of grasses/ herbal ley as possible please?
I'm convinced its come in a seed mix that shouldn't have had any but of course the seed company are swearing no one else has complained and it must've self seeded - not in this volume it hasnt in one year :o
Cheers.
Went organic 8 years ago, that got rid of fertiliser spreading and spraying, which I enjoyed, but the figures work. Now looking at sfi which will likely fill in more gaps again... soon I won't much be needed for 3/4 of the year, ultimate streamlining maybe, and probably offensive to stock...
Should we worry both as consumers and producers?
Glyphosate on oats is the obvious one.Recently highlighted by tim Spector on one of his zoe podcasts.
Do we know if glyphosate is toxic in any way.
Is it messing with our microbiome?
Also as a strawberry grower I am well aware of the very short...
