https://www.fwi.co.uk/business/compliance/independence-of-red-tractor-review-under-threat So both AHDB and NFU have promised independent reviews into Red Tractor to dampen the flames caused by the farmer outrage over Greener Farm commitment plans It's easy to promise such things but HOW do you...

Any recommendations for quad helmets, ideally one without full face? Two quads here and we've stricter regulations coming in about wearing them, local dealer had flyers in the shop about it this week. Father uses one a lot now as he's not driving his car and we do have a zealous local gardai...

Question as above, what’s your set up? currently have an office in the house which isn’t horrendous but does mean there’s a mess all the time and it’s not really big enough. Plus I’d like to turn it back in to a dining room! first thought was a site office type thing but would like it not to...

See Olly's video (first 3.37 minutes). RT haven't officially said anything about this as yet, but looks like this is coming, although now probably delayed due to RT being on hold until the BFU review is completed. As Olly suggests, if all farmers drop the full RT standard, and move to the new...

From the 1st November Cost per visit £75 Being a small suckler man it makes it unrealistic Get a bull I suppose

Written by Eva Osborne-Sherlock from Agriland Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will visit farms across Great Britain from this week to check compliance with legal safety requirements. The national regulator for workplace health and safety said farmers must change their...

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...

In another thread I realised RT was doomed from the very start because no base price was created on which a premium could be payed. NFU sleepwalked into giving assurance away for free and has been in denial ever since. We are were we are so let's see if can find a solution. I think we should...

Thanks Andrew. I respect your honesty. I’m sure a few at the top table of the NFU didn’t want you to say all that. It gives quite a different perspective on the meeting when compared with Minette Batters vlog.

https://www.ribapix.com/example-of-a-grain-storage-silo-manufactured-by-crittall-silos-limited-tolleshunt-darcy-essex_riba55173 I think these are really beautiful. Can someone give me a potted history - are these linked to the Crittall window makers? Are they ubiquitous due to some kind of...

I've got two fibre cement roofs to take off sheds I have purchased, just wondering if anyone has had any experience and best ways to remove them without damaging them

Has anyone read this next load of £hit coming at us from Red Tractor, Way beyond their remit . Cant find the link can someone help ?

Looking through the awful farm fatalities last year, (27 of them) they actually include the following : • A 3-year-old child was killed when he was struck by a moving vehicle. • A 74-year-old member of the public was found dead in a field with cows, calves and a bull. She had been trampled...

Long time since we had one, what to expect.

This is most definitely not a whine about farming. In live in a village about half a mile away from the nearest farm yard on the edge, for the last couple of days have been woken early as my friend is I believe loading corn out, not beet as that is a very distinct rumble. I cannot hear the...

Should we worry both as consumers and producers? Glyphosate on oats is the obvious one.Recently highlighted by tim Spector on one of his zoe podcasts. Do we know if glyphosate is toxic in any way. Is it messing with our microbiome? Also as a strawberry grower I am well aware of the very short...
