Our farmyard is full of them,the Starlings are feeding on the TMR and the Sparrows,well,I'm not sure really.
The yard is clean and concrete everywhere but the Sparrows have crapped all over the tractors and telehandler.I had to jam the Combine,which had been fully cleaned and washed post...
Grain producers, please feed into the consultation for digital grain passports.
Their introduction is likely to disadvantage independent grain traders and result in further consolidation of the grain trade.
As growers we need greater diversity in the grain market not less.
It seem like growers...
Hi
Anyone any ideas how to stop rats climbing the diagonals into a grain store.
I've put 15" pieces of tin around the diagonals at a perpendicular angle, however they seem to be able to get over these no problem.
I don't really want to use sticky pads as this seems quite high maintenance and...
Evening all,
Recent storm has given my old pole barn a different appearance to a point where I just want to rip the rest of it down with a digger to tidy up the eyesore.
I want to replace it with a steel frame building of the same size.
Are photographs of existing building, however damaged...
Our place is now utterly saturated, so much so the tractor slithers about on what flat ground we have whilst feeding bales.
I moved the boss ladies cows and am now setting the big shed up ready for housing the in bye flock , typically the forecast looks a little more settled next week.
Anyone...
It's time to look forward not backwards
(note to self lol )

or a photo to help describe ,yes we like photos dont we .....
Happy days.
I’ve noticed far fewer small birds about the sheds and garden this winter. So I just wondered if anybody else had noticed the same. ( Started off in the holly berry thread but thought it might be worth a poll.)
met a lady who had just retired.She was telling me she her two sisters and parents ran a 15 acres holing in Shropshire,which they still have today.These few acres were used to milk fifteen cows and provided a living for the father throughout his life .Today they tell you a minimum of 200 acres...
We need a mycotoxin test for some wheat and NIAB equipment is out of action. Any recommendations for alternative companies that won’t charge the earth and might be open at this time of year?
Well done to @AHDB for engaging with us all on here.
They have answered some fairly tough and agressive questions on why we should pay levies and the need for an increase in the levies.
They have certainly gone up in my opinion, as I was beginning to think we would be no worse off if we lost...
For 30yrs+ we've perservered using pile dry pedestals in our bulk grain store.
It's a 70wide 90 long bulk store split down the middle, with the dryer front centre, and a door to either side of the dryer. This makes it a bit of a chew pushing the heap up, but we manage. There are no overhead...
I've got a building with a lean to which I've always assumed had an asbestos roof. I had the son of the previous owner here today and he thinks the lean to is fibre cement. Is there an easy way of telling the difference?
The tenant of my let property has reported that they have “A possible rat problem.”
Nothing in the house and no signs of entry. The managing agent has called in a pest controller who has invoiced £70.
If there are no rats in the house is this a tenant’s issue or a landlord issue?
My feelings...
I would like to propose a new farm assurance scheme, all that is required is an annual review to ensure that a farm business complies with current legislation. There will be no gold plating of any legislation, just a simple check, either by uploading documents or by a farm visit.
I’ve a recent new farm which includes some very 1970s grain stores
The trouble is they are a hive for rats. I can’t shoot them as any stray pellet will likely end up in the grain and have tried everything from poison to trapping to blocking every hole - all to no avail
There are lots of...
