We all see on here people saying they...
And looking for some 25 mm armoured cable for a power supply to a new grain store. Any recommendations where I can get some at a reasonable price? Before I start ringing around on Monday. Thanks
Clearly many thousands of farmers now know that RT isn’t a legitimate company because farms still get inspected by government agencies for things that are written into law.
So my question is that all the staff must know that the RT business model is questionable, so do they have a clear...

Despite a stop-start harvest and the very changeable weather which followed, Suffolk farmer Jeff Claydon was able to establish all the planned area of...

The good the bad and the ugly!
As I sit here on the 30th November furiously tapping away to get this written for tomorrows deadline I reflect on what has happened since I last wrote.
My last piece mentioned how well the crops looked before harvest! How things have changed in...
Farmer Focus - December 2021
Harvest has come and gone. Yields were good but could have been better had the growing season not been so variable. We had trimmed our Nitrogen rates to 160 Kg/N/Ha for wheat and OSR, but huge swings of yields within the fields told me that the yield had not been...

Drilled some wheat after grass (ploughed, cultipress, drilled with Rapid) and about 30-50% of it hasn’t germinated, it’s just sat there and swollen up, looks like it’s rotting. Any ideas why or what may have caused it??
The headland, which was drilled last, looks a lot better that the middle...
approximately mid day yesterday I was directing someone reversing a home made trailer loaded with stone over a drain , the trailer was tipped and I shouted enough as he lowered trailer and moved forward, bang!! The hinge on body broke leaving the ram and body at unusual angle after some...
I've got a quote from Western Power for a new, three-phase electric supply to my grain store. About 20% of the quote value has to be done by them, but I can get an approved Independent Connection Provider to quote for the other 80%. Has anyone any recommendations for companies they have used to...
Im not a grower but whats the point of red tractor in sugar when theres not a hope of tracing anything back to the original grower. Wheat intake muddys the water with traceability but surely this is on another level making it impossible????
Is now happening - see here: https://www.ft.com/content/ce180ed3-67c5-4e47-91e3-32049866cae1
Just another way that UK ag is showing how sustainable it can be. I like the idea of circular systems - turning waste into eggs, via some maggots.
Has given us a right good kicking all night, and still is….Electric has gone and there’s some very dangerous sounding gales.
hope everyone is staying safe out there
Initially was told I'd need a 5 day course/test, now as I'm experienced (40 years of driving alsorts of equipment)
It's been reduced to 2 days , more bureaucratic tick boxing bs , it seems a ticket for a larger forklift isn't acceptable for a little 3 wheel electric job.
How long before some...

Has anyone got a really good way of doing a Valley gutter or is it just best the stay away.
I'm not too keen on the wide steel ones I have seen, agree easy to clean Weir at end etc but they rust quick enough.
I have 6" storm flow plastic on buildings and like it, 4" down pipes set gutter at a...

I'm toying with ideas for a grain shed
Max 300ton grain (I could extend she'd if something altered)
Store protein, rolled barley and mill(PTO roller mill)
Possibly mollases.
I'm thinking I could either use the kongskilde blower to load mill or loader from grain store, would box in the "rolled"...
