Morning Ladies and Gents, I’m looking at ways to plug the cash flow deficit that will be left by BPS over the next 7 years. We have been approached by a few companies to store boats all year around given our proximity to the coast. Now, for the sake of argument let’s remove the issues of...

The Red Tractor logo or brand does not appear on products that UK cereal growers supply the ingredients for so unquestionably has no value to end consumers of bakery and other cereal products The processors of these products including the likes of Hovis and Warburtons have stated that they have...

I’ve seen signs for supervised cattle crossings up north before, when lights show signs with the little beacons. Was thinking of making my own for moving the sheep. I’ve got about 200 yds to move them along a road. Easy job right? Apart from the fact it’s between 2 sets of double bends. I need...

I see that as a contractor I could apply for this grant for machinery this year. When does this come in s I can't find much information on this. I've got my eye on a piece of machinery that could fit the criteria for this. Be really handy getting 40% off the price of the machine.

So, i went to the MF dealers depot, our old salesman has given up on selling tractors and is now selling implements only, so a new salesman sits behind the desk. I offered our 2018 Case Maxxum 135 Cvx with 3200 hours for trade-in for a MF 6718 Dyna-Vt Exclusive. Cost to change came to 75k€ inc...

Do people have tickets for diggers similar to telehandler/ forklift for on farm use. I can only seem to find the big courses for construction work online.

Hi, I’m very keen to rent some woodland in Derbyshire or Staffordshire. I have a very busy life and really want to spend my spare time wisely. I can’t think of anything better. I’m a lover of the British countryside and I want my own private getaway to watch the seasons change. It would be...

For a 20 year life would it be better buying a brand new trailer at £20,000 from a premium brand or buying a well used one at £10,000. Assume the same spec but £10,000 ones generally need new tyres which adds £2,000. New one would be financed. Used one would be bought out of the business...

Hmmm, encountered this heading to Newcastle Emlyn this morning, when you know the road it’s a bit disconcerting to come around a corner and meet this when your 16 foot high, you hope they have a tape.

Morning All, what with the weather and the Christmas break the drill was left in the shed with wheat seed in it. Since then rodents have been having a field day they’ve eaten through wires, chewed some plastic bits and been pulling the wheat out from the meter wheels (after gnawing them flat...

Hi there considering this as a back up plan , we have a Vaddy 8m and Kv tine drill , which has got us drilled up the last two years pretty much . But I feel the drop in output from 8 to 6 plus unblocking Coulter’s etc means the amount we can do in a day is much less at a time when the weather...

I’m sitting down this week with local NFU rep. He’s been wooing me for the last few years to join but I have declined for various reasons. I’m still inclined not to join.....partly due to and not limited to: Red tractor. Inept use of social media. Preaching to the converted by not using the...

Isn't it about time this useless and pointless scheme managed by incompetent but skilful money grabbers had it's plug pulled. It has consumed £22 billon in six months of operation and has a further unconfirmed £16 billon for this current year. I now notice they have started to bodge the...
