grain store

Looks like I've got a fair amount of BG to spray out and my old knapsack has given up the ghost, and wasn't that comfortable either. Any ones better that others?

Copied from the BFU thread which is running about writing a letter to Rishi Sunak... I was thinking about imports undermining our standards and prices. It doesn't even need imports to meet our standards. What I mean is, they don't need to be imports. Take Ukrainian grain. Doesn't necessarily...

I’ve got a new on floor grain store going up at the moment. It will be complex and expensive to connect to the grid and so I’ve planned to install a generator. This will be fine for lighting and the roller shutters but I’m not sure how it will work with the cooling fans. I prefer to use...

Hi all Stepping up our biosecurity with boot washing in and out of our sheep fields (since we had scab!) but am going down rabbit holes with finding a permitted disinfectant as we're in organic conversion. The Welsh Organic Standards list the following ingredients as being permitted...

BFU representatives had a meeting with AHDB Directors on 23/04/2023. It was interesting, and I think we made a little bit of progress. Here's my take on how it went..... We suggested a single assurance scheme offering wasn't helpful, particularly as the standards are relatively high for it, it...

Any ideas for the best option for a door of this size? Quite a windy location so a bit worried about a roller shutter blowing in.

After hearing on the radio the other day about John Prices sentence it got me thinking how have we got to a stage that a landowner has become public enemy in the eyes of the eco warrior village dweller type? Look at the attacks on Gareth wyn jones on social media and the current militant stance...

The words of olly on ollys farm youtube channel in his video BREXIT A DISASTER FOR UK FARMING? i normally find him a bit childlike but this was actually an interesting watch about the effects of brexit, what are peoples thoughts on this? Are the smaller English farmers starting to feel the...

See Schedule 1: Functions of the AHDB Imported grain can access our markets without Red Tractor or equivalent. We only have choice of gold plated Red Tractor or SQC. We want something more equivalent to imports. See Functions 5,6 and 7 (screenshot). Seemingly doing something about the level...

First off, my school maths was always found wanting! I have a grain store that measures 30 m in length and 15m in width with 4m high grain walls. If I block the door and level fill the store with 750 kg wheat this will hold about 1300t. If I was to fill with an overhead conveyor how much more...

We have just failed crop assurance! The reason was for the diesel tank. We have a 5000l steel bunded tank with the pump and pip in a cabinet on the end apparently the pump pipes etc have to be in the main bund. As the cabinet is not capable of holding the 5000l if it leaked. These tanks are...

Had a EA inspection a few months back as they’re hitting the Exe Valley. failed on various things really. Earth banked silage clamp. Insufficient storage for yard water/silage clamp run off. A few uncovered yards, they are drained to our dirty water system. We’re half in half out of an NVZ...

www.mudcontrol.co.uk See these advertised in Farmers Guide. Has any one used them for a drive or track used by tractors and lorries We are hoping to get a new grain store on a green field site and would be using them to create a track from to road to the store.

I am soon to build a 2000t grain store, there will be no drying within the building but I do want to cool grain. I have used pedestals in the past and also have stores with low volume ducts. What make of underfloor ducts do you recommend for cooling grain at 4-5m depth. I would plan to suck air...
