Spreader for SFI and Fert
Budget £15k-£20k. Ability to spread SFI mixes at 12m. Cereal work 36m. Urea and P&K. Gypsum would be handy as well. Mounted or trailed. Weigh cells. Auto shut off would be nice but not paramount. Headland management would be nice but not paramount. Is there anything made out of galvanised steel?- Pottersfarm

Liquid back to granular fertiliser?
I’m thinking of making the move back to spreading fertiliser instead of using liquid. Anybody done it and regretted it? We can’t put on liquid P & K so have to use a contractor and as we are 36m spread pattern is hit and miss. We’ve had scorch last year and this year with this year in...- Beefsmith

Michael Gove and the Conservatives did this.
Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.- DrWazzock
