    Is This Bad Husbandry?

    Recently bought some tenanted land. On visiting it today, I found this ewe clamped over a lamb. She had no water. There was no-one on site. This looks completely unacceptable. Who better to ask than TFF.

    Which hand held grain moisture meter?

    Currently got a Sinar Agripro 6095, and to be polite, it's results can be variable. Just put a new battery in, sampling at exactly same place in heap, just 5 mins difference and the results can be 2% out. Can trust it, so any recs? Must be portable, not keen on those Prontimeter grinder ones

    Food security is a silly argument…

    Perception and perspective are very different things. Generally individuals and old farmers see food security as an existential threat eg if we had a major war (see WW2) and we struggle to have enough food in the UK.
