Interested in learning more about home grown protein crops but don’t know where to look? There has been a growing interest in home produced protein for many years, but European agriculture continues to depend on imported soya for livestock feed. Did you know? Around 14 million tonnes of soya...

Have a client interested in this and starting to hear more about it on the circuit. Has anyone had anything to do with this at a commercial scale? Looks like water and a large amount of cheap electric are needed but what else? How viable might it be?

Heard on the grape vine that some mills will be testing grain for CTL residue. Will imports be tested for it too? what would be the situation if there was some Uk crop stored that was a few years old that had CTL used on it, would that be ok?🤷‍♂️ Could @crazy_bull or anyone else in the trade...

Anybody use peracetic acid as a pre dip? What concentration is safe? Do you use a foaming cup or an ordinary dip cup?

I am new in pig growing things. Was wandering if there is a way I can make my own feeds for my pigs. Businesswise, relying on concentrates (Remix as we call them here) can be financially draining. Thanks.

Hello all, I'm looking at digging our old sprayer out of the shed and fixing the pump then using it for spraying off grassland and round the borders of fields with roundup. It's only a 12m sprayer so can't do the arable with it. Do I need a sprayer license for that? I was thinking I could...

Having seen decent results from Magnesium with fungicide applications here I'm pretty convinced that along with Manganese t's a micronutrient worth using routinely on our soil types. Bitersaltz has been our cheap go-to product but it's not the most users friendly when filling a 6000L sprayer...

I've got a new chainsaw, it uses an Oregon chain and bar, but can someone please tell me which part numbers or parts I need to buy when I come to replace them? Also what file set do I need? The numbers confuse the fudge out of me and I wanted to find out what stuff I have before the markings are...

I'm speccing a new sprayer at the moment. I use ibcs mainly for trace elements. This usually involves lots of buckets being filled and tipped in induction hopper. Do any companies offer a probe I can stick intop of ibc and program it to draw a preset amount out into sprayer? I see welkers...

From the south west myself with a genuine interest, quite happy to be told asking silly questions. Is there any talk/interest in the sector developing across mid-east england (more dairies more cows)? Lot's of table talk here, just wondered!

Was a rep for local dealer exaggerating when he said a big farmer in the Welshpool area has big John Deere tractor and feeder wagon when full has combined weight of 80 tonnes??
