Been seeing a couple of articles about the worrying likelihood of a ramping up of inflation before long... Sprog 2 works for a investment and wealth management outfit, and they are spreading investment risk on the basis of an increase. As anyone over mid 40s will be very aware of, it's not good...

A search on related headings was fruitless much to my surprise... I recently gifted some distant AHA farmland to my daughters. The Parish Council have since contacted me to check if we were aware that a residential neigbour had removed the *hedge* at the end of his garden. Hedge is an...

We have a approx 20x40ft pond on our horse livery farm. 24 horse 30 acre farm. We are starting to improve the farm as a whole, starting to dig ditches after 30-40 years of not being touched. Plus after that some land drains. we have a pond in a corner or our property that we thought we may...

Hi, I'm new to the forum but thought this would be a good place to ask this question. Our landlord wishes to sell the farm we have a AHA tenancy on. I'm the second generation tenant and may have a third to follow me in 25 years or so. We don't live on the farm so it's just the land and building...

I know I have seen mention of one or two doing this, and a spot of advice would be useful. I have been approached by Fisher German on behalf of STW, in relation to a project that might take place on a nearby Sewage Treatment plant. FG have sent me a letter asking for ownership details and also...

Sorry if this has been posted before. With the construction industry losing red diesel, what will be the situation in 2022 regarding highway maintenance etc such as hedge trimming , snow clearing etc, which is OK for farmers to do at the moment without flushing tanks. Cant see many farmers...

I am laying a 250 mtr twin wall drain pipe, it has one bend at 45degrees where I want to put an inspection chamber, I can't seem to find a suitable diameter base and riser, any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hello, I’m researching agroforestry and i would like to understand more about farming in the UK. I’m designing a plan for a university project in particular the use of alley cropping. I was thinking of having a cereal intercropped with apple trees in one field. In the other field I was thinking...

I'm in the market for a new ram and have been offered what looks like a lovely beltex ram. I've never had a beltex so wanted to know if they come with any problems. Hes a 3 year old apparently with no health conditions and the owner says he hits 100% giving 185%. Hel be going in with my small...

Ground Source What area of land would be needed to heat a 3 to 4 bedroom house. House is very old.....(very old!) so limited on the insulation front. (Listed...so restrictions on what can be done) Currently has CH Radiators throughout.

When drainage cos shut or are taken over, and idea what they do with their archives? I've a field drained by James Richmond Ltd, but only have the proposal plan rather than the "as laid down" plan which would be really helpful! Anyone know if they amalgamated with anyone?

Anybody farming any previous opencast? What's the returns like first 5 years when it's grassed ie you let it out for grazing? Bale it? How do the figures stack up? Anyone cropped in those 5 years? Cheers

I,ve heard down the grapevine that the EA are banning autumn slurry and solid muck applications as AHDB have told them there is no crop justification for applications of N or manur containing N apart from on osr This effectively means all and any livestock manures or digestate cannot be...
