Need to replace our private supply under a B road. Cannot mole as there is a medium pressure gas main in the middle of the road. Can any one recommend a company to dig up the road. SN6 area ideally or a national company with local depots. I am sure there are plenty with Irish names but I'd like...

With the current explosion in fert prices how much N is everyone putting on their Spring barley and wheat and how much do they plan to reduce it to this year? Spring barley 2020 139kg N/ha 2021 112kg N/ha wheat 2020 215kg N/ha 2021 175kg N/ha

It’s an interesting thought whether you believe in it or not. I have to confess I have done nothing. In fact, probably worse as we plough a lot albeit we are intending to look at strip till for maize To be honest, it will only be cost saving measures we adopt to the benefit of the business...

I have been monitoring one of this years calves as it's had a umbilical hernia which has been growing. This is now the 3rd one in 3 years, yet never had one on the farm previously. Different bred cows and different bulls so cant be a link in breeding I don't think. One calf per year and each one...

Local plant produced too much gas and having to burn it off even thou there’s a shortage

As above really. Is there any difference between dribble bar and trailing shoe, ie can I graze it any quicker after trailing shoe than dribble? How soon could I graze after dribble bar/trailing shoe application. Can I cut out artificial nitrogen altogether on my grazing ground or silage ground...

100 cows on 100 acres Cutting frequently to bales or zero grazing. Regular reseed rotation and import quite a bit of nutrients in feed. Not used any p or k for years just urea and sulphur for first 2/3 of the season going little and often. Gone to all umbilical/dribble bar and just put in a...

Got a field that’s been grass since I was born that needs a fessed this autumn. Over summer it was sprayed of and redstart rape drilled to give it a break. Been grazed off once and will have a few more ewe lambs run over it again as a bit of regrow that showing and with today’s rain it should...

As per title. I am thinking of dropping winter barley and reducing wheat in favour of spring crops grown with plenty of pig muck under them . What’s everyone’s thoughts ?

As above can or can’t I ? spoke to our local water authority re sludge spreading and it would seem they are seriously considering taking the ea to court over this debacle , nfu are you thinking of the same ?

Moving over to herbal leys here for dairy cow grazing (holsteins on conventional system). Drought prone soil and low summer rainfall are main reasons. Lots of advice out there but seems more beef/sheep than dairy focus. So for dairy cows... Who's got them? What do you put in them? Are the...

Working every day from 6am until 8pm is taking a toll on me now, I feel exhausted all the time.

Hi looking to put a cover on the outside lagoon as storing rainwater is an expense plus reduces storage capacity quite a bit. Just wondered how long they likely last. Had 3 quotes all different products wondered if all work as well as each other. Thanks

I am wondering what were the biggest issues or problems you have with your slurry applicators. I have been looking into the different brands and types of dribble bars and I am wondering what was the biggest nuisance you have with your machine. I have seen that some people find some dribble bars...

Looking at putting up a slatted tank which will require a central support pillar to bridge the span (30ft x 30ft). What is the best practice for installing these support columns and does it matter where the mixing point is in relation to it? I was hoping to put the mixing point in closest...
