Aren’t you a dairy farmer

Never get high on your own supply . If we had one of those milkshake vending machines on the drive i'd be main lining strawberry milk 24/7.

I can't handle whole milk in my tea anymore but love jersey milk on honey nut corn flakes.

If you got a few brown cows, you'd have loads of chocolate milk as well

I remember a nutritionalist telling me once he'd been on a dairy farm sorting a ration and was offered a cup of tea. When it came he asked if there was a chance of a drop of milk in it, the farmer replied
"Milk's for selling, not drinking".

 

[Cowmansam]

That’s a great comment I shall have to use in future

When did this happen? I always thought it was 4% and 2%

From the milk & dairy regs.
Regulation 2597/97 defines drinking milk and sets out the permissible fat content ranges for the following types of milk:

• Whole milk: the minimum fat content is 3.5 %
• Semi-skimmed milk: the fat content must be at least 1.5% but not more than 1.8%;
• Skimmed milk: the fat content must be no more than 0.5% (previously 0.3%).

Ready for first cut. Ended up with an extra inch on the floor which cost us an extra 20 cube but suspect long term we won’t be complaining

Don't worry I've only got two walls to. If we put your clamp and mine together we'd almost have a complete one.

208 cube down today

Yes! I say that all the time when people over do the milk in a drink.

You can sell anything you want as long as the labelling is accurate

Would you have a photo of the perimeter drain? If it was cast at the same time?

Friend of mine once genuinely asked if these are semi skimmed cows?!

It's not done yet but I will once it's in.

 

[som farmer]

uncle with his channel islands, hated our fr, called it thin and blue.
we did clock 6% once this last winter.

 

[Agrispeed]

Had a customer saying that the Semi was very creamy and they really liked it. Wouldn't consider whole milk though!

At the moment we're baling 10 bale/acre first cuts which costs £100+/ac and were storing 1200t of wholecrop and maize in field heaps. 20% waste on the field heaps would be a reasonable guess so potentially 240t at £35/t. The savings there will pay for yesterday's concrete in two years.
