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...
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...

The diesel engine has proved itself a very successful variant of the internal combustion engine (ICE), an invention that has been with us for over 200 years now.
This method of converting the latent energy contained within fuel to useful work, has been...
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...
anyone grow this?.....whats it like to establish/weed control?.....can it make hay?...though nutrient depletion could be a problem :scratchhead: .......grazing wise what sorta lsu can it reasonably support without falling foul of regs:scratchhead:
I understand the need to feed the soil biology and do so with a few cover crops and plenty of chicken manure. I will be planting a lot more cc this autumn.
Do Biosolids ( treated sewage sludge/ digested sewage ) feed the biology or is it just a good source of P? We have used sludge in...
Is it just me that gets annoyed whenever you see lambs being ringed on tv and they always seem to have the four points that the ring sits on pointing towards the lamb then buggering about pushing the ring off the pliers with their fingers instead of pointing away from the lamb and using the...
Having just followed a trailer load of solids along the the road that were to be tipped in a field gateway it got me wondering what exactly the point of slurry separation is?
It seems to me to just create yet another product to be handled and involves yet more machinery (separation unit, pumps...
I'm in my fifth year of strip tilling following a more traditional plough/power harrow based system. I had some decent results in the first few years but the last two wet autumn /winters have not been so great.
My main problem is the blackgrass is getting out of hand, I don't think my...
