How bad is it? I asked a rep to get my rape shifted asap this morning as need the space for barley but he said he would try his best but can’t promise anything due to the lorry driver shortage in the country. Personally think he’s at it but could be wrong.
Seems my turbovisor is dying,cant complain had it a good few years now
Recommend me good air fed masks please suitable for driving the open combine
Need 8 hour running time
Not too heavy
Morning
I want to put some concrete panels across a doorway to be able to pile grain against it. The doorway is 15' wide and I want to wall up 16' high. I am thinking 4 of 1.2m high by 16'/5m long panels. Was intending to use 150mm thick panels as in the rest of the store, but they are 20'...
Arable is not something I'm familiar with so hoping to learn off people from here.
Youtube videos make it look very seemless - combine cuts, straight into a trailer and then dumped into a grain store. But what can go wrong during harvest? What are the common difficulties you come across, other...
We have a grain store with aerated floor which is blown by two Typhoon fans, its only been used to cool wheat but this year we want to put wheat in it with 16 or17% moisture and attempt to dry it.
we have no heaters so the question is what is the best way regarding heaters etc?
The wheat is...
Was doing a few jobs this evening in the workshop had my headphones on so wasn’t aware. Mrs appears pointing at the sky me being me thought she’s lost it again….
low and behold there’s a drone 5-6m above The workshop door, had flown over a spinney of trees and an acre, picked up a brick end and...
The NFU has fully supported the new trade agreements the government has setup as well as fully supported the removal of BPS. At the same time they have also supported the incoming ELMS scheme as well as the SFI pilot.
It’s widely acknowledged and even confirmed by some local NFU offices that...
Have discovered a hair line crack in a big six sheet on grain store.:(
What would folks recommend to seal it up for six or eight months or until I can get to replace the sheet
Many thanks
Can anyone point me in the direction of finding more information on converting steel framed sheds into a house ? Are there company that do it or is it simply do it yourself ? I have a 45x120 shed erected 20 years ago in good order in a stunning location, anyone have any thoughts?
Long story cut 80 ton barley 13% . But full of self set triticale from previous crop . This was green . Anyway cut it now in shed ands it’s red hot to the point u can’t put your hand in it . So have spreed it around another shed a foot deep. Still hot . No drying facilities . Question is will...
Thought I'd start one to make myself feel better.
Was on grass most of last week, was telling myself that the wheat volunteers would had made the moisture in the WB too high anyway🤥.
Plenty of rain over weekend and looks a showery week 🙄
When you get your Lexion out of the shed you have to state something portentous on Twitter such as:
‘Winter barley is a go’
A go? What is this mangling of the language? The correct phrase surely, is something like ‘harvest has commenced’
Alternatively:
‘The barley isn’t quite fit but we’re...
This evening I looked at a new 6000 ton grain store with a new 45 tonhour continuous grain drier (5% per ton reduction per hour) fully automated installation. How reliable are the latest state of the art grain driers?
Put in PP for a grain store 120x60 back in Jan (as near an "active" airfield, determination date was Friday just gone, they have come back and said I have to do an infiltration test, I am aware what it is but find it a bit odd. Is this normal to be asked for such?
Site is Cotswold Brash so very...
Our action to negate or slow global warming is clearly not going fast enough. I don't point the finger at the UK exclusively, we are far from the worst offenders, however in general, are we doing enough ?
Looking at Agriculture alone, currently social media is full of pictures of tractors...
The RBST and the Sustainabile Food Trust have been banging on about this issue for a bit.
But it seems both the latest food report and George Eustice are missing the point re the important role of small abattoirs to farmers who sell direct or to local butchers. The big companies don’t want the...
I have decided to delegate it to the Mrs. so that I can get on with stuff that really is urgent. It feels like weight lifted and she has time and aptitude for it.
Is it getting to the point where it would be more cost effective to pay a clerk to deal with it than have to Wade through it...
