Not sure it will take a week!

Not sure it will take a week!

Nor am I, but it sounded good when I thunk to say it!

In case you haven't noticed @Woolfy our @Kiwi Pete is an eco-troll from the upside down end of the world

He likes to spend his spare time provoking a degree of debate on many matters here

(But He's actually a great bloke and an asset to TFF - Just don't tell him that)

You were close with "asset"

You were close with "asset"

You Brits and your phonetic spelling.

It’s spelled “ass hat”

Hi everyone.
Jake. Devon.

Welcome on board Jake. Tell us all a bit about yourself, makes TFF more interesting if we have some idea who we are supporting/abusing

Hi everyone.
Jake. Devon.

Hello Jake.
Welcome to the asylum.
With all that grass no doubt we'll be seeing you in 'Livestock & Forage
Hope you'll enjoy TFF - it's cheaper than going to the pub and, at times, a damn sight more entertaining

Ha, yes. Beef/sheep and general bodging. Always come on here for advice when I’ve got a breakdown etc but now I’ve sorted an app on my phone I can actually post.

 

[Philip Watkins]

Welcome aboard

Get stuck in and you'll wonder how you ever had time to actually work

Hi @phil1966

As above, welcome

You sound like a man of many talents, you'll enjoy it here -(moreso if I keep away on out of it)

I have a sort of similar tale just much smaller scale, bit of contracting, little bit of farming, little bit of lots of other things

Hi guys. Complete novice to forums and farming, apart from a few sheep and hobby veg growing. I've just got hold of 100 acres class 3(1) land. Thought i'd throw myself in the deep end. Any suggestions as to best usage with it? Land has good drainage, well fenced and good hedge rows. Not livestock though. Any ideas very welcome!

Welcome aboard.

You need to give us a few clues really. What part of the world are you in? What's growing on the land now? What are your interests (you won't do as well if you aren't really interested in what you produce)?

You'll get plenty of advice on here

Up in bonnie Scotland, in the borders. Its an old willow plantation. First step, clear the willow then i've no idea. I'd love to grow berries, blueberries ideally but I understand thats difficult here. Maybe honey berries. Any suggestions?
