    Government support for farmers announced today

    Did I hear right!!!? Millions coming our way to improve our IT etc so that we have less reliance on foreign workers? and better outlets for food we can't sell? Apart from installing robots, I can't see, on the face of it, what impact this would have on the dairy industry. What about other sectors?

    Quad bike Vs gator/mule

    Some scrote nicked our quad bike couple weeks back. Thinking of replacing with a gator this time. Anyone made that switch? Pros & cons? For day to day checks, move mobs & trailering ewes at foot. Usual jobs. Cheers.

    APV Seeding Units

    Hello! While having a walk around LAMMA the other day, I came across APV, Red and yellow tines and grass seeding kit. They looked like good bits of kit, to the casual observer that was tired of walking about, that is... Does anyone have APV kit? Any good or bad stories about them...?

I lost £1700 as the dealer would not pay for service work or the two TractorMats I bought for it, Mats available if...
