On the main road. Only a mile from home but six miles from destination, the old HiSpec 10,000 litre tanker’s Ukrainian tyre gave out. It was nearly dark on the Saturday night and had to park it and tractor up on the lay-by. The same lay-by that the Same conked out at a few months ago [it’s still...

We bought a 2016 Fendt 936 2 years ago that came with a small terminal, is it possible to upgrade to a larger 10” screen, does anyone know of any sources for used / repaired screens. Is there a way a second screen can be installed as we have in our JD8400r? BB

Can anyone recommend a Tracker device to deter theft and aid recovery? What are the must haves? Thanks

We are planning to build quite a large sheep handling system in the centre of a 250 acre block away from home. The sheep pens will be heavily used. What would people recommend as the most suitable stone/other material to use. The pens are being designed to hold around 1000 ewes so concrete...

...what would you do? Probably wouldn't have a choice but what exactly would we be fighting for? We currently treat illegal immigrants better than army vets, Britain as an entity doesn't really exist, it has no sense of pride, no identity, no borders, populated by millions of people with totally...

This is the number someone has come up with for the Welsh government for losses down to the new agriculture policy. Great news. Not.

Posted elsewhere but might as well post it here too. FT today. Bit of a read, but just shows how utterly fekked up all of this is. One bit stands out: Smith, the University of Aberdeen professor, says carbon sequestration can buy food suppliers “time to decarbonise the rest of their supply...
