Concrete sleepers more like.

Sorted that hopefully, second hand mcormick, OAD litres don't quite stretch that far!

 

[DairyNerd]

@lazy farmer Still undecided on the tracks, a lot of the Irish research seems to lean towards a well made stone track. Going to have a look at a couple then decide, not sure getting sleepers is very easy at the moment especially without any sensible arctic access.

You're autumn calving? What's in the mixer wagon for those solids?

crimped wheat, 1.5kg rape/soya, 3kg hay, and 15.3%p silage, and maize.
not sure how much crimp he's putting in, and 100gms urea.

we think the crimp, and the hay, are what's pushing the protein up, our neighbour is in his 2nd winter of crimp, and his proteins have shot up.

just recorded, been comparing milk solids as in hol v more fr types, or other breeds, there are highs and lows, across all x or breeds, l thought l would see a difference, but no.

the down side, should be pushing out a few more litres, but they are happy, dungs spot-on, and bulling well, can't have everything.

on b/fat, we have had 1 jer cow come back at 10.2%, didn't think that was possible, any one else think the same ? The lowest fat was 0.9.

Which crimp, we are on maxamon and it really pushes protein.

Looks as if the spring calvers have forgotten to dry off their cows. It brings the @lazy farmer production thread question into all the more relevance where the hell is all this milk coming from if everyone is 1-2 litres down because of forage.

Does it give a bf and pro average ? I’d hazard a guess that we are on par on a kgms basis?

having said for sometime, the 46% of food requirements imported to uk, cannot be assumed as 'safe', can no longer be relied on.

new border checks on food entering the uk, from the eu will be subject to more inspections, if they ever happen, as they are supposed to.

there are restrictions on the passage of ships through both the Suez and Panama canals, due to risks of war/terrorism. Some shipping firms have stopped using them now.

fresh fruit, vegetables, milk and eggs, will be the hardest hit. And the report goes on to say, the collapse of the uk food industry, or parts of it.

a defra spokesman said, 'we do not recognise the findings of this report, we think the food supply chain, for the uk, is robust and strong'.

ostrich type action ? Bury head in the sand ? It just seems to be a truthful reaction, of our politicians, to any news they dislike.

we have no idea what guv thinks, how can we, when they themselves don't know, presumably, they have an emergency action plan, just like they had for covid .......

restricted use of the 2 canals, will mean serious delays in all branches of trade, the alternate routes, are substantially longer and slower. BP is set to stop using the Suez canal from monday, Maersk tankers, and general goods, have already stopped, and the group is the largest shipping business globally.

can't help feeling that the more volatile the world becomes, the better it will be for ag prices.

It will be a disaster for everyone alot of our products we buy come trough these canals so if we cant get them input prices will go up

I’ve done my bit. Last lot dried off today. From a work point of view 2023 can do one.

That show just what a tiny insignificant proportion of the national herd are block spring calving. I would estimate that somewhere between 50-75% of cows in spring calving herds will be dried off in the fortnight leading up to Christmas. There are aren't many cows calving now apart from in AYR herds and yet there's only a tiny blip in national production.

ours have just started flying this last couple weeks,calved a lot of cows and heifers mind but this Decembers milk recording was way ahead of December 22’s recording on yield and f&p is way ahead also
