Farmer Roy's Random Thoughts - I never said it was easy.

That is a very affluent area and it has an illegal gypsy site right on that lane. Maybe they are trying to hide them.
Even the gypsies are on the posh end of the scale, lots of big expensive caravans on site, nothing poverty spec and they are apparently razzing up and down the road in a Audi R8.
Area is so posh it has a Bentley garage just round the corner.

If it was Tatton Park that did it I expect it was grant funded anyway.

A tornado went up that lane a couple of years ago, I wasn't there but could tell from all the branches twisted off the oak trees. Looked it up and sure enough, think someone got hurt at the cricket club iirc.

I've probably gone close to that many trees here and will be planting more on new farm eventually.

No Grant's for me. (I read somewhere the feds ARE looking at paying farmers for planting around 5 ha or more..) I just do it for the shade and windbreak shelter it offers the stock and for the aesthetics of a farm WITH trees on it. Plus I think it adds value to the farm if and when it comes time to sell.

Others probably see them as nuisances as they do suck the guts out of the land near them..

My plantings are all strategic along fence lines and edges of drains and the like. So dont qualify for any funding as they are generally only 1 to 3 rows wide at most.

Solar panel owners frustrated by proposed feed-in charges

Solar panel owners say a proposal to charge them for exporting energy to the grid is a penalty for trying to do the right thing. But the regulator says it could be cheaper for them in the long run.

April 1st must be running late this year.... Obviously the flogs are losing money ... So let's charge home owners...

Thanks, have a good mate looking to get out of contracting and go back on someone's payroll. Suit him down to the ground

typical autumn here, although usually not so many clouds

I question my own practices constantly, which is why I also question others

That should be a motto for all in life generally.

Certainly one that I recognize a lot.

No real surprises there... if you stop to consider that more than 20% of total CO² comes from soil respiration in terrestrial ecosystems (biological activity in the rhizosphere) then obviously putting that bit on top is going to do more than just dry out

just as well the vast majority don't stop to consider much other than themself

Does he drive a landrover and wear a tweed cap and coat and speak with an English accent???

Cops should have waited till he came back and power narrowed it 5 times and then rolled the f**k out of it...

 

[Farmer Roy]

Maybe he was just going to “re seed” it for them ?

 

[holwellcourtfarm]

But we have to "feed the world" don't you know and it's a bigger crime for land to be "wasted" for golf!
