Whats the thoughts on milk vending machines? We're organic currently milking 120 cows, would like to expand the herd but getting extra organic land is difficult, so thought selling some of the milk we produce via vending machine could be an option.The farm isnt located near any town or village...
Ok so, thinking of going onto business with the neighbour as he has dairy cows, can anyone advise me on a company that can supply bottling equipment. Would ideals be looking at plastic pint bottles with a screw on top. anyone had any experience in small scale bottling ?
Any ideas how to get them out? we are using a master drier and trying to separate them using a sieve when coming out of the unloading chute, very slow though!
Hi. My grandad just to work for Hoekstra. Its coming up to his 80th birthday. I was wondering if anyone had anyone pictures of there equipment or ever used anything they made. He's always told me they were the top end of the market. But i don't know. I followed my dad into the dairy side. Any...
I think like many dairy farmers over the last 10 years we have started to realise how important slurry and muck is and try to use it better instead of dumping it.

Looking to try and improve the seperation in barley on a T560 machine... Have already jacked up rear axle, fitted several walker fishbacks / extensions and auger speed flights... but feel the combine has alot more potential capacity in tough / heavy straw conditions if setup in a...
Just a curious thought.
Realy struggling to keep the grain from ending up back on the floor, never been a problem until we started the MF adventure. Is it something I'm doing wrong in setting it or are they just not as good at sorting the mass of material, tried all sorts of settings and speeds...
i am in the market for a new trimming crush. Money is most definitely an object but don’t want to get it wrong.
What have others gone for? What can’t you live without? And what wasn’t worth the extra?
Suggestions of makes much appreciated
Is there such thing as a mobile slurry separator? Say someone with a big generator running a pump and a seperator with the liquid going into a nurse tank to be pumped away by your tanker?
going to get ours independently scored next week.partly for farm assurance partly for "farmer blindness" and partly to give us a benchmark as to where we are for the future.
my question lies around interpretation of the results.Obviously we are aiming for 100% 0s and 1s as a medium term goal...
