Hi everyone I'm Carl billings Roly billings son from st neots Cambridgeshire.
Since dad passed away 2.5 years ago have been running the farm, just 300 acres but keeps me busy enough alongside the plant hire business.

Yes that would of been dad, I've expanded the earthmoving side considerable into Gps dozers, dumptrucks and a 34 Ton 360 alongside all of dad's dozers and scrapers that are all still running, a huge loss but his name will live on forever

Evening all, I am JJ Macleod, 22 years old and working on a farm in Herefordshire. I am not from a farming background but graduated from the RAU last year and have now settled on a mixed farm. I enjoy making Youtube videos of life on the farm ranging from grain carting to fertiliser spreading to OSR drilling - My Youtube channel is 'JJ Macleod' - https://www.youtube.com/user/FarmTrackProductions/featured?view_as=subscriber

I am very open to learning as many farm tips and tricks as possible so please feel free to give me some advice on anything you think will be of use. Thanks for reading.

Hi I'm Jonny, I'm calling from the Flyscreen Company based in Gloucestershire.
Does anyone here have issues with Flies? and how to prevent them?
We actually work on a farm and despite the name we have constant flies around here lol!
Just wondering how other people prevent?
Best
Jonny

Hi , my name is James Plush i am from Victoria Australia . Currently farming a 137 acre hobby farm but looking to expand to around 1200 acres in the next year or two . We also have a 800 acre farm 2 hrs drive away but we lease that out as it`s too far away to farm effectively. It`s been in the family since the 1800`s . Hoping to learn a bit more about the different farming environment you have in the Uk compared to what we have here in Aus .

Welcome aboard James. Have a peek at Roy's thread here for an idea of the differences https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index...dom-thoughts-i-never-said-it-was-easy.186684/

I wondered where your dad had gone, one of my favourite contributors to this forum :(
Good to have you on here though, enjoyed the photos of all the gear you ran.
