Looking at getting a rake for this autumn, using the FETF grant. It looks like some of them come with discs on the front as an option. It will be working in front of a tined direct drill and as well as spreading out the residual straw I am interested in the fact that it may chop the straw up a...

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone has used the hep p plus vaccine after 10 hours if it's kept in the fridge and its made airtight - or do you dispose of remaining doses regardless? I haven't done it - as I didn't think to ask the question before jabbing the sheep, but had to waste a lot last...
