Will require at least...

Lundell seed drill
Bamford Wuffler
Cock Pheasant Tedder
Kidd Rotaflail
Taskers Fertispread
Looking for constructive critiques for a general farm design for a renovated site. We are looking at starting a micro dairy of 40 milking Guernseys keeping calf at foot (I know I know eyes will be rolling). We have demolish an existing site as it will cost more to renovate. This what I've come...

Hi, has anyone experience of the NZ share milking process that had enabled new entrants to build equity to eventually start out on their own? I understand that it’s probably not viable now due to increased land prices but I’d still like to understand the process. How long it would normally take...
I watch it regularly and think it’s great, but I thought he was being a bit soft saying he’s having a day off tomorrow.
We all have days that are “steadier” now & again.
But a day off ?

Just about to do my dipping course and the disposal issue has been raised
We are currently on to the EA re licensing and also a few waste collectors.
Should we go down the EA route, how do we spread the dip ? We only have a side finger muck spreader , no tanker
