Full on irrigating or with a slurry bar?
Need to be putting on more than an inch to make a difference, I have 8million gallon sat here and i don’t think it’s beneficial to do.

Full on with one of those gun type systems they normally use for things like spuds etc.

High wage economy , its going to ruin farming .

Not just farming. Going to ruin a lot of things. And the stupid bit is the only way it works is to pass all cost to the consumer. So it’s really very much like farming nowadays. Turning over bigger and bigger sums for less and less profit

We’re the sausages edible from an old boar? Asking for a friend my wife went chicken oriental when she found out how much it went for, she said I should have taken it for sausages too, I thought they’d stink but to be fair he didn’t smell when I smelled his shoulders like when a ram does

Why do you go around smelling tups/boars shoulders??

No one can live on £10 or less an hour now thou! wages will have to go up its as simple as that!

Its not high wages that is the problem, its very high inflation/ house prices etc that is the problem and both of these have been allowed/ encouraged by the Gov to get totally out of control so wages will have to follow suit!

Farming has the problem that we cannot pass on cost increases!

Talk today at the breeding sale that most large volume store lamb buyers want them for £10/20 head less than 12 months ago due to the costs now being so high but where does that leave the poor sod lambing the ewes and doing all that hard work??

Impossible to live on low wages though, house prices and cars ought to be half the money.

You are right jobs skew. These jap pickups are 27k 2017 isuzu Yukon things were 17k brand new I can remember the advert not that long it’s crazy

Current situation suits this lot as they and their mates get even richer and the poor get even poorer with the way they are running things!

Farmers like other businesses will go bust. It’s a horrible thought and I wouldn’t wish it on 95% of people. But that’s looking likely before we come through the other side of this silliness.

I have some which stink of testosterone all year, others start smelling come late august but by October it’s all you can smell when driving behind them on the quad

Wasn’t it Mitsubishi’s in the FG, £16 995 with a ruck of “farmer spec” extras? As you say, saw a 4 year old Navarra £22 495 last week. Dad had one new the same time £23 000 full spec!

Fair enough, I know what you mean. But I’ve never felt the urge to get close and have a nose full…

If intrest rates take off then the heavily borrowed farmers will have some serious head scratching to do that is for sure!

Too many people being carried by farmers beyond the farm gate in areas like machinery dealers/ AG medicine reps/ RT and so on and which the industry will not be able to afford to carry for much longer!

They’re not wrong need a minimum of a £30 if not £40 margin now to be worth anyone efforts

No end of breeding sheep went home unsold today!

Trade was half decent for the first 70% of the sale then dropped away suddenly by £20 or so head in an instant!

You could pick up leaner shearlings come the end for £127+ head and nothing wrong with them either! would have made more in the fat ring 12 months ago!

Just to stop us all getting to miserable tonight. 8 day old lim heifer out of a blonde x fresian 3rd calver. Really chuffed with her. Growing like a weed

Yep and its getting worse, police are now pulling in grain trailers hauling grain off the combine and booking them for not covering the load...

All very well but who is going to pay for all this rubbish like trailers having to cover the loads before they leave the field etc?
