dribble bar

Are they still there. Because I cannot find any. Even down to 12 inches. Will they reappear or are they dead with this moisture loss In the ground. ????

With consistent pressure on the industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, farmers are embracing the opportunity to increase available nitrogen and reduce ammonia volatilisation from slurry through the simple addition of an inoculant. The Government has set targets for the agricultural...

My grass is succumbing to the heat now. Could do with another cut of silage, but not much rain in the forecast. Probably 10 days before they have silage full time, or nearly full time How’s it looking round the country? Anybodys maize suffering yet? SE Cornwall here

Livestock slurries are a valuable nutrient resource for arable fields and grasslands. Slurries provide a source of organic nutrients, help build soil health, and reduce farm reliance on synthetic fertilisers, thus reducing artificial fertiliser costs. In addition, nutrient cycling from manure...

Just wanted to give everyone on here a heads up. If you get contacted about the above asking to come out and give you some free "advice". I would not accept under any circumstances. I got told that it was to do with countryside stewardship and was only coming to offer advice on grants etc. I...

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) cereals and oilseeds monitor farmer, Alistair Craig, uses 5,000g/ha of cattle slurry as a key driver of his crop fertiliser policy. As he pointed out to visitors taking part in a recent open day at...

Or no SFP Did I dream this or was it on the Welsh News ? @Clive , please delete if I did

2nd cut coming off next week. With the dry conditions, am I better to dribble bar or splash plate the slurry on? About 1 tanker/acre. Very dry here with typically very little rain in June/July. Reasonably thick stuff. Plan will be to graze aftermaths about 5 to 6 weeks after cutting. TIA

So I had a spare couple of hours and thought I’d try and freshen up the paint on the tanker before it goes in for its dribble bar. I was questioning my own sanity half way through but I’m more than impressed with the end result! It actually has knocked years off it’s life and the paint has an...

The MF 5455 is struggling on the round baler and needs replacing really. Our local dealer has become a McCormick dealer and want to stick with them as the service is excellent. Anyone had any experience of McCormick or Landini tractors. Gonna be looking for around 130hp and about 5 to 10 years...

Having a go mowing and forage wagoning a small patch of winter wheat which had quite a bit of grass in and was a less disease resistant variety, does anybody do any ‘arable silage’ have heard low 20’s protein % quoted with obviously no starch compared to a proper matured wholecrop. With protein...

Just curious if anyone has compared what as far as I can see are the only two offerings on the market, the joz and the lely. I know @pappuller has the lely but not many joz’s about so welcome any input

Who's growing it, and what are the up/down sides. I'm wondering about feeding it to young stock and restricted to sucklers along with straw. TIA

Has anybody seen or got a slurry snorkel either on their field nurse tank for the umbilical or mounted on the front of the nurse tank tractor? With a Doda pump / DCI arm / Boom and Dribble bar now pretty much standard spec of a tanker, IMO there is too much going on and too much for the guys...

How early would you put dysect on a lamb, is it a bit strong for lambs a couple of days old? Better to use spot-on instead? Wanting to treat them as they go out of the lambing park, usually ticks on them by marking and I think the stress of marking makes them susceptible to whatever nasties the...

Just been at fert in grazing land nothing on silage yet but it is dry here now with an eaterly wind coming in. Has been a good dew in the morning but with this easterly that might disappear. Carryon spreading or wait until rain In forecast I see nothing for at least a week. Straight N going on...

Been thinking about putting some slurry from our dairy cows onto spring barley this year. We have an umbilical kit with 9m dribble bar but no hose humper. What growth stage would be best to apply the slurry causing little to no damage? Any help appreciated. TIA

Thought I'd kick this off, what are peoples thoughts regarding seedbed feeding this year ? We are going to increase slurry and apply a foliar n product once the plant is growing.
