Hello, I'm Trust Molai, the proud owner of Agriflare.com, and I absolutely love agriculture. It's more than just a business for me; it's a passion that runs deep. Agriculture is not only about cultivating the land but also nurturing the future. My journey in this field has been driven by an unwavering trust in the potential of agriculture to create positive change. At Agriflare.com, my mission is to share my knowledge, resources, and support with fellow enthusiasts and farmers alike, fostering sustainable practices and innovation within our beloved industry. Together, we can sow the seeds of a brighter agricultural future.
 
Hi, i'm not a farmer, I work in the tech/insurance/climate space and I'm very keen to build products/services that can support the UK farming economy. I think very soon there'll be a realisation at how critical this sector is for our water & food security and I'm looking for ways to support it. I'll probably just be lurking and listening for now but happy to answer questions.

Hello, I'm a slightly awkward, shy, introverted 28 year old orange haired gal who is enthusiastic-ly invested in anything nature, history, larking, detecting, beachcombing, rockfinding, basically anything introverted 😂 grew up in Devon and Cornwall, moved to Sussex 3 years ago, miss rural life so escape to the beach when I can, dream to own some land one day with my minature Dachshund and daughter. Grew up with dogs, Dad was in the industry before I came about but stopped after a sad circumstance, have very little, but some knowledge myself as my school was associated with an agricultural college. Will get frostbite to witness good sunsets with starling murmurations and apparently I cook good roasts (dog is biggest fan). Anyway, don't know if I'm doing this right but Hi 😅

Hi all

I am based in Suffolk near the Cambs border. Agriculture isn't my job but I have an interest due to deer stalking. I am also trying to build a food business making venison products. Keeping a few pigs for salami/chorizo etc is an aspiration but I haven't done that before. Just have a few chickens.

Will probably do a fair bit of reading before posting some questions. Just wanted to say hi before popping up on threads.

*National Tractor Drivers Survey: Win a Schoffel Oakham Gilet!*
Hi Farmers,
I’m Megan, a Researcher from Nottingham Trent University.
We are working in collaboration with the Farm Safety Foundation to develop a tractor specific hazard awareness test and associated training materials, to help keep tractor drivers safer on the roads.
As part of this initiative, insights from tractor drivers are crucial. We are distributing a national survey to understand the unique hazards tractor drivers face, which we understand may deviate from typical hazard perception definitions. The gathered insights will shape the development of our hazard test to align with real challenges tractor drivers face.
Please participate in the survey here:
http://tinyurl.com/ntutractorsurvey
Completing the survey gives you a chance to enter a prize draw for a Schöffel Oakham gilet!
Your involvement in this survey not only contributes to improving tractor driver safety but also gives you an opportunity to win a valuable prize.
Thank you for your participation!
 
Hi all!

I'm Dan. I'm 31. I'm a history teacher and Head of History at a school in Hampshire.

I'm a keen metal detectorist who's looking for my first ever permission to detect on someone's land. I'm a member of the NCMD and insured.

If you're interested in potentially giving me permission, please send me a message.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hi I’m David, beef farmer, I grow oats and barley, I do small time contracting including round baling wrapping and hedge cutting. I’m near Barnsley. I have primarily joined to find information about the change from tax credits to universal credit or start a conversation about how it can work for farmers with small and seasonal incomes. Id be glad if you can point me in the right direction or tell me where to post? Cheers

Welcome I'm sure someone will be able to advise on this unfortunately not something I'm up to speed on. Your accountant assuming you have one should be able to help
