How can you stop a cow flicking silage over her back and the whole feed Area other than shooting the bastxxd

Have a few here do the same, putting this electric wire above their heads seems to have sorted it

Call yourself a grazer.

So the GDT increased again today. Along with lots of other price increases, never mind the relentless inflation of our input costs our current producer price is WAY short of the mark.

The response from my Lakeland Dairies representative was entirely predictable...........

The 35 and the 20 would want to be added together!

Can you spend your £100 shopping voucher on fertiliser? Asking for a friend

If you can the upside is you could likely go and pick it all up in the boot of the car

So Is it cheaper to take on bit more rented ground this year than buy the usual amount of fert?

 

[3rdgenerationdairyman]

Think alot of guys will have the idea of more conacre so you would think the price of it will also be up ?

I’d dare say your right just have to make better use of slurry and let it grow most of the grass

 

[The Agrarian]

Where's this extra conacre being made?

 

[The Agrarian]

More acres, less nitrogen = more contractor fees to get same tons. Also likely to have lower protein silage = more feed costs. Sounds daft.

Also, increases the merry-go-round antics of farmers racing past each other on the road as they go to service outlying ground. Handling facilities? Summer TB testing far away ground?

 

[3rdgenerationdairyman]

Sounds like any other year in this area

 

[3rdgenerationdairyman]

Was talking to an older generation farmer he reckons its the start of "them" phasing farming out here.

Saved me typing that, not to mention that nitrogen even at 400 a ton will still be better return than extra ground.
