Front tank to trailer cultivator
Looking at using a front mounted seed tank to blow seed to the back of a trailer cultivator (carrier). Has anyone done something like this before? The fact it’s trailed may cause some issues with the pivot point? Plan on using the same front tank with a combination drill and other stuff so would... -
Urea rules
Read a snippet in the Farmers Weekly this week that seemed to imply that the new rules regarding urea and the 1st of April were a Red Tractor thing. Is it just for farm assurance or is it a defra thing, and if it`s a defra thing then what can they do if you do spread after the cut off date??- Dman2

Islam
This isn't an attack on or criticism on Islam for being a 'religion' in the general sense, because to me as a rational atheist all religions are as absurd in that regard.
