    Year end valuation

    I had a chat with a mate today about year end valuations. Both of us despite being 30 years in the job are pretty niave doing this. As I expect to make a £ I wonder if I am doing it to my benefit or not. For growing crops it's contractor costs plus variable costs to date. For crops in store...

I suspect we all want something different as we are often divergent from each other even within each sector. If I was in Cardiff with a banner, it would be focused on the dash to net...

    SFI options and Agricultural Property Relief

    I am thinking of using options IPM2 (flower rich grass margins but over whole fields) and AHL2 (winter bird food). These would not be rotated, but kept on the same fields for 2 or 3 years. Any thoughts on how this may impact APT? I have been doing these options (AB8 and AB9) in a small way...

    Best tup in your breed

    What the best tup in your chosen breed? Your criteria. Don’t feel you have to even share your reasoning. For Texels I’ll say Muiresk Blondin. Had everything - length, shape, skin, character, size. And he bred true.
