    Minette Batters NFU president

    She's clearly biased towards the coporate members of the NFU compared to the farmer members. She's finishing naturally in February apparently but should she still be there today? When she first took over she was on the Red Tractor board and wanted to remain on it whilst being NFU president...

    Agritechnica 23

    Anybody going? I’ve probably left it too late to go now, usually get invited by a manufacturer but I can’t be buying from the right dealers now!! Anyone booked an apartment and needing a couple of extra people to fill it?

    This isn't going to end well!

    Considering how Israel reacts after a few rockets landing in waste ground somewhere, they're not going to hold back when they've been hit by what Hamas claim to be thousands. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-middle-east-67037895

    Red Kites

    what does a healthy population of Red Kites number? What does it indicate? Going back 20 years when we moved here it was a unique occasion to see one circling overhead maybe once every 6 months. Now, they are always present. Today I stood in the field and watched, as no fewer than 12 circled...

    Is there much difference in reliability of tractor brands/manufacturers?

    As above . I say brands,as many tractor brands are under the umbrella of Agco and to a lesser degree Case/New Holland. I am sure some of you will have tried most makes/brands. I must add that I am now semi retired but occasionally help out someone who runs Case tractors and they seem to be not...

    2019 all over again?

    Dealers not keen enough?

    We have been looking at adding to our fleet and looked at new and very good second hand. Our problem being, reps of both main manufacturers and those of the tractors trying to gain more market share and sales. The reps or dealers just don't seem interested. I chased our local McCormick up for a...

    AHL2 - Winter Bird Food

    Has anyone ever autumn established SFI AHL2 after a crop off winter wheat, grown fast seeding crops such as mustard and then gone into a spring barley late March early April? Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!

    SAM2 Multi-species cover crop

    As far as I understand the rules for the above. I am entitled to spin some beans into my winter barley at drilling, leave them in until the spring, and claim for the £129/hectare. Has anyone clarified this with the higher powers by any chance? It seems like a no brainer
