I’ve been looking in for a while but today have registered so hello.
I was just after people’s thoughts really. Prior to the interest rate rises I bought a few items of equipment and put them on finance which as it now turns out was extremely good interest rates. We’ve had a very good year...
Can anyone explain to me how we got to the situation where the tax burden is at the highest level for 70 years but our public services are in such a shocking state?
The NHS is a black hole for money, councils going bust left, right and centre, the judicial system creaking, armed forces now...

Mulling things over … now I love farming ( mostly) and as some of you know, I’ve said it’s all I ever wanted to do .
But times are changing and with the weather on top of poor ground plus my age and aches and pains, I’ve been wondering if it’s time to say enough
Part of me feels guilty as if I...
I’m a new farmer, been farming in my own right for 10 years now. Successfully grown a good business through contracting and growing our sheep flock. The time has come that I have paid my current tractor off. I have never like the idea of buying a new tractor as they depreciate so much! I have...
Yes it does affect farming, but why? my local council seems to be "awash" with money, from the many thousands of private houses paying council tax, plus all the indusrial estates with small and extra large industrial/commercial businesses are occupiyed, never seen it so busy, and nots even...
I'm looking at accepting some form of advances on our combinables, but haven't for some time so I'm unclear what might be possible.
What sort of interest rates + commission/fees offers have you got for advances on your grain trading recently?
We constantly hear in the Britsh media that food is too expensive, with food inflation being one of the major causes of high inflation and interest rate rises.
Having several overseas guests stay with me in the past year, they have all said how cheap the food and eating out is in England...
Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland
While LAMMA may not be on the scale of Agritechnica, it does bring a taste of the continental shows to the UK, with the focus being on machines more suited to farming here than on the continent.
Held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in...
Worth a watch - I watched part one tonight and it focused on Shirebrook pit & village and the division in the community at the time
Some parallels from 20th Century mining, with farming in the 21st Century
Break the dominance of the miners and then close the pits (despite those pits sitting on...
Good day everyone, I am a new member here. I am looking for a good 4 cylinder tractor from the 1980s-1990s. The tractor will be all rounder on my mixed farm, it will be used for a variety of things from running the feed mixer to pulling a trailer or even field work. I am looking in the power...
I was recently chatting with an old uni mate, who is now a financial advisor, about a few acres that have been sold near me for £12k per acre.
He was asking me why anyone would do this from a financial view point, because if they invested in the stock market they would get a lot better return...
Looking around again for a home for a few Grand that has accumulated as I have maxed out the Marcus a/c. All the big boys are offering piffling sums of interest, so it has to be the new banks on the block. Wanting online only access and hope to achive 4-5% at todays rates, 3-4 accesses/annum...
Its a high price year for veg there is a shortage.
Yet supermarkets are giving it away.
It is not grower funded this is loss leading by supermarkets & must be costing a lot.
As farmers we should clear all the shelves & feed it to our animals. Just spending a tenner would likely cost the...
Just considering taking out Private Health Insurance
Looking at the “big 3”. BUPA, Aviva,axa
just wondering what other farmers opinions are ?
Currently our NHS is pretty good in our area
But things appear to be declining as a whole
So is the £50-£80/month worth it?

They paid the 2nd payment on account by 31st July 2021

Given the fact that subsidy goes straight to the bottom line(net profit) how does everyone plan to replace this? im not asking can you "survive" without it, simply how will you replace it? or will you just accept that you will make less money? given the fact the general populations minimum wage...
