Is there such a thing. Plenty of 6480 old bonnet, tier 2, Dyna 6 tractors about, approximately 2006 build, but I want a bit more hp and bigger frame. Anyone know if you can get a 6490 tier 2 with Dyna 6 box? Want a 6490. Want Dyna 6. Brother won't let me have a tier 3 due to injection pump...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from five research institutes across the UK are developing a “world first” resource for research into the microbiomes of crops. The UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank will provide an open access facility for researchers to source crop microbiome data samples...

Looking at ordering some sheep bolus, tests show we're short on selenium and cobalt, the Mayo ones look good with 350mg of cobalt 100mg selenium, seen some others (g shepherd) at 1000mg cobalt and same selenium. How much cobalt does a ewe need?

We want to see a coordinated industry approach to improving soil health. One that underpins our productive farming systems, as well as delivering benefits such as carbon storage and resilience to climate change. Investing in the health of the nation’s soil is a key cornerstone to help the UK...

Experts propose short-, medium- and long-term practical actions to respond to the looming global food crisis exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A new analysis lays out concrete actions that governments and investors must do now to mitigate near-term food security risks and stabilize...

An innovative method of controlling a range of damaging crop diseases using native, beneficial soil bacteria has emerged from a research-industry collaboration. The agri-tech innovation hopes to give farmers a way to reduce the cost and environmental damage caused by the chemical treatments...

This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch. All are welcome, you can even post prices if you want. The only rule...

A situation had arisen and got me thinking. If your flock is resistant to certain categories off wormers and u have to use the other categories instead. Will there become a time where no wormers will work on your flock ?

European wheat harvests could be increased by more than 5 tonnes a hectare according to newly published research into the crop’s untapped genetic potential. The first of its kind study from Rothamsted Research shows that in some European countries the grain yield could be increased by up to 90%...

Highlights Advances in genetic and genomic technologies have already had a significant effect on the efficiency of selective breeding and production of livestock. The combined use of whole-genome sequencing, imputation, precision livestock farming, and cloud computing offers the potential...

Natural organisms found in soil and their use as novel fungicides is being explored in a new collaborative project to help farmers overcome potato late blight. The work centres on utilising the latest cutting-edge technology to analyse soil microbiomes – the complex interaction of billions of...

Agroecology, as a scientific approach, relies on a better knowledge of biodiversity at all levels of organization and function, in order to better manage agricultural production systems, from farm scale to landscape. Ecological concepts such as functional redundancy, complementary use of...

Global population growth, climate change, water and land scarcity, and shifting consumer preferences are driving the need to revamp food systems at every stage, from seed to table. Against this backdrop, AgTech – the application of technology to all stages of farming – is gaining traction as an...

To prevent dangerous levels of global warming, scientists say it won’t be enough to just stop burning fossil fuels that release carbon into the air. Because it’s virtually impossible for humanity to do that as fast as is now required, we will also need to pull carbon out of the airand secure it...

A first-of-its-kind analysis of the untapped genetic potential of wheat shows global yields are only half of what they could be. The team of international experts, led from the UK’s Rothamsted Research, says this ‘genetic yield gap’ could be closed by developing wheat varieties tailored to each...

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland The latest official statistics confirm that antibiotic usage within UK agriculture fell by 50% between 2014 and 2022. The actual sales figures are 446t in 2014 versus 269t in 2020. Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) agriculture spokesperson, Tom Elliott has...

Heat stress is becoming a major concern for high-producing animals in all areas of the globe. Heat stress can have negative consequences on feeding behavior, growth performance, and animal welfare. Recent microbiota studies help producers understand how feeding the live yeast Saccharomyces...

While potato planting is only just getting underway, growers are being reminded to put crop haulm destruction plans in place now. With decisions made based on variety choice, end market and storage requirements, this will ensure only small tweaks to strategy are needed ahead of spraying and...

Looking to have a small treatment unit installed for farmyard re development / bulidings converted into units. We are on the mains sewer for the farm house but there is no connection in the farmyard. Its a very long run to the connection and will be a massive pain in the backside. I am looking...

I'm against this and note Scotland and Wales governments are against it ( so could cause all sorts of other issues) , I believe it's just another form of control by Big companies and also believe it doesn't come across well to the general public that we're prepared to use Gene editing, so as I'm...
