You were lucky enough there.

Seems everything is getting a price rise apart from milk. The vet was telling me they expect their supplies to take a rise and take longer to appear.

If you’re getting gas boilers fitted you’ll need to test for hardness as hard water will eat the boilers. A neighbour fits the softeners if you need a contact

Anyone get their grant letter yet,I can take it on the chin if I didnt quality for the grant but that pi$$ing about to the bank to get a letter so I can spend my money is what really fxxked me off.

 

[The Agrarian]

I've heard letters have begun to land on door mats.

 

[surprisefarmer]

It has been a bit of a sh1tty system to be fair.

The bit that got me, you can have 20,000 (or whatever it was) for a tanker, but you will probably need to knock 20% off that to have a chance of qualifying, then they double the amount of allocated funds after the application process.

Does everyone include silage in their dead stock in annual accounts? Do you follow APHIS numbers rigidly at year end also?

 

[jamj]

A accountant requires herd list.
Surely silage quantity does not vary that much year on year, and if it has been a good growing year the volume is up but price is down.

Ours doesn't include silage stocks to the best of my knowledge and I tell him whatever number of cattle we have according to aphis at the time he asks me for the figure.
