Need something relatively simple to cover approx 3500 acres in total per year. 24m booms with some sort of section control as fields not massive and can be odd shapes. Budget circa £15k No idea these days but quite liked the look of a JD 732i looked at recently but everything looks so complex...

Pests are a critical threat to the farming business, and integrated pest management helps growers address and mitigate these risks. Integrated pest management utilizes several methods in complex, thus being a more effective solution to the issue. In particular, eliminating aggressive chemical...

Hi. I see some this side of the Irish sea saying liquid fertilizer means they can reduce the total nitrogen used. I have done a small bit of melting urea and applied through fertilizer nozzles but at same rate as if it was solid fert. Was at ploughing match and there was a stand for liquid fert...
