It seems that we, along with several folk in the area, have got a heamonchus challenge from somewhere (nothing comes on here without Zolvix, so how did it get here? :scratchhead: ). Everything has been grazing roots and off (contaminated?) grass since New Year, so not shedding any more eggs...

not seen matching sizes front and rear before (on a “normal” tractor designed for different sizes)

With literally dozens of job vacancies locally and an apparent lack of applications what does the future hold ? It seems like the foreigners are scarce and the majority of youngsters can’t be bothered if it’s vaguely hard work/dirty or unsociable hours 🤦‍♂️-you certainly need to keep hold of the...

Does anyone know if this is likely to be allowed? (before I pay up the £285 for pre-app advice). We moved into a farmhouse with mother-in-law 2 years ago but after 20 years in my own home elsewhere I'm finding it very hard-going not having my own private territory, and the relationship between...

Our action to negate or slow global warming is clearly not going fast enough. I don't point the finger at the UK exclusively, we are far from the worst offenders, however in general, are we doing enough ? Looking at Agriculture alone, currently social media is full of pictures of tractors...

Hello, I posted on here before asking about drystone walling as a potential profession to go alongside farming, and I got some really informative responses. Would anyone be able to give me some more advice on other jobs that are related/allied to farming that would be interesting and would...

Hi, Which Loctite sealer is best where a gasket is used between two machined tractor gearbox castings. I used to use Hermitite red but have run out so thought i would ask. TIA

How many Vets out there actually know what happens on a mixed beef and sheep farm? There are a few very good Vets that have carried on doing large animals but most of them are like the farmers they serve getting long in the tooth. This looks to be a great money making scheme for the Vets with...
