    Anyone know how TB testing is organised during Covid 19?

    How are farmers [especially sole farmers] treated during the present Covid 19 crisis vis-a-vis TB testing? Do the testing team wear PPE to stop the transmission of Covid 19 disease to the farmer? Is the Farmer advised about or supplied with protective gear?

    Feeding ewes with lambs at foot

    What would people say is best to feed ewes with lambs at foot just now as it’s cold here with the grass disappearing quickly. Good quality cake at £260/ton ish, or sprinkle fodder beet across the fields at about £22/ton. Thanks very much

    This NFU 'produced to our standards' malarkey

    ‘Nothing should be imported in to the UK that is not produced to our environmental and welfare standards’. This has become a central tenet of the NFU’s representation of the industry. But what does it mean ? There are 1001 rules and regulations that affect UK primary food producers. With which...

    How do you manage Haulage companies?

    I’ve pretty much had a wagon in the yard every day last week for various things such as grain/straw collections etc. The problem I have is that I sometimes struggle to be around the yard all day waiting due to other business commitments, and some hauliers struggle to even say if it will be...
