How are other mixed farmers coming on with climate check? Did it yesterday and there’s some pile of crossovers to iron out, lambs eat the 3rd cut, cows graze land in the autumn that carry’s ewes and lambs in the spring, barley grown on silage ground which is fed to store cattle and lambs, straw used across all enterprises. Fingers crossed I’ve called it all similar to last year or my figure could be vastly different without really making any changes.

Download your submission receipt so you have a copy of your answers on hand for next year. Makes it easier to look back to cross check yourself when you fill it in.

You can go into submissions and print off last year's answers. I did it when completing this years.

Next years plan, if it all works my figure should be higher as I’ve used significantly more feed getting through the spring 20 drought then again in the winter as I never made enough silage. Up from 950kgs a cow to 1500kgs plus I’ve fed 3 artic loads of draff to my 130 cows.
 
Any ideas why questions 77 to 102 don't appear in the survey for me? I wouldn't have noticed if there wasn't a long list of questions with 0 as the answer in the review section at the end
