Just wondering if anyone on here was of an equine bent? I am currently the subject of a campaign by my two daughters to buy them a pony. The original idea was to get one on loan but suitable loans seem to be like hen's teeth at the moment. My impression of the current horse trade is that they...

I had a tractor demo a few weeks ago from a dealer with the intention of buying it if liked it. Had it for 4 days where on the 4th day I took it to get a load of straw bout 40 miles away from our farm . Tractor broke down on the farm where I was picking straw up. Electrical problem . Dealer had...

Just bought a new one. Is it just me or is a rubber tube hard to push down the lambs throat. I got on well with the more plastic type ones.

Anybody watch this on YouTube? Good to watch

two loads of loose concrete railway sleepers from PE15 8QJ to just south of carlisle. As the sleepers are loose and not stacked, it will requite a flatbed with strong side supports or at least 3 droppable sides

Our rented farm on the outside of the town has now become half a farm, and half a building estate... its a pain, there are a lot of people who think its OK to throw a dog toy across a field of wheat because theres no sign to say they cant! They have all been walking around the grass field out...

Hello everyone, the truth is that I have been somewhat worried for a few months. All my life I have lived in the north of Ireland, on my amazing farm, I love this life and I thought my family did too. I live here with my wife and my two small children, but 4 months ago I noticed my wife...

I believe they have power disc coulters, are these any good for dd and moved ground light and heavy? Looks like a good set up, wonder how well it would work in the wet. They are a similar set up to a trailed one minus the front discs?

Written by cpm The value of low-disturbance kit is rapidly gaining traction in UK agriculture. CPM finds out how trying something new has provided some unexpected results for one Notts grower. There seems to be a hell of a demand for these machines at the moment and I can see why. By Charlotte...

Clover Seeding Has anyone used one of these for overseeding clover Thanks for any help

How necessary do you think it is to have row cleaners on a disc drill? How much of an issue is hair pinning on disc drills. I have no intention of selling straw to make a disc work so need to make sure I spec properly. I also wonder if hair pinning appears a bigger issue than it actually is...

Recently attended a zoom meeting with a respected independent land agent. He described the next 5 yrs as the biggest change in Farming in a lifetime. He painted a fairly bleak picture of agric under the Tory government’s funding plans, none of which encourage food production: > £40K BPS will be...

Just starting to look at direct drilling and regenerative agriculture, we have previous experience of the Claydon drill system and it was not good, we are not fans of tine drills, we have looked at the Horsch Avatar and John Deere 750a, anyone got any opinions?? Currently drilling with a vardi...

Have you seen it and if so what did you make of it?

I’m after building some sheep yards on a lease block. Thinking wood be best for price. How do I make sure they don’t rot in a couple of years though? was going to floor them in tarmac planings as well.

Given the late drilling date and the amount of rain that’s gone on them I’m pleasantly pleased with the state of my crops. I do have two small fields that are below par but most are looking well. How are others looking? Wheat and barley below, no rape this year but locally it looks well.
