The FARMING forum (meaning farmer input from anywhere globally)

[Renaultman]

Truly inspired IMHO
it is great to read of others trials, tribulations and triumphs from around the globe.
Long may it continue.
P.S. Does that make me a globophile rather than a europhile?

Personally I find the content from our overseas members some of the best on TFF


would be great to see more of it

A good example is @sjt01 's thread and on the international development and engineering is fascinating

It was @Farmer Roy and @Spanish, among many, that prompted me to post this and Nick The other thing that amazed me was the discussion the other day about grass in the rotation and how some couldn't imagine doing it and others not. I suppose there is a lot to learn in our own back yard too.

The fact that you must always remember is that you must farm according to the climate and environment that you are in , not just the physical climate but political climate as well.
Farming is challenging no matter where in the world you are, adapt as reqired and don't expect it to be easy....

I’ve often thought how powerful it would be if The forum was truly global

farmers sharing knowledge directly with each other would benefit us all rather than listen to bias agenda ridden crop reports from the likes of USDA or Russian government etc

Prices of inputs and machinery around the world vary massively as well - independent information / knowledge transfer between farmers really is power

not sure if / how that’s possible though ?

 

[Bald Rick]

Do you get a whole bundle of TFF points if you’re overseas @Chris F ?

If so, we used to have an extensive cotton business in Pakistan.

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Need to encourage more homeland farmers as well, why do you log on and not talk, i know you do ! And put your location , county will do , "its raining near me today "!!! ????

God (and @Chris F ) loves a trier ?

Oooh, I don't know so much @nick... for those of us up here at the top end of Lincolnshire, a journey round The Wash to south Norfolk is very much akin to foreign travel

 

[chaffcutter]

For some at the moment it would be ‘over the water’!

I'll be your Canadian promoter!

Although if you go to the Canadian ag forum those miserable buggers would give the crusty members here a run for their money

No. You are still missing a few points though.

 

[Renaultman]

What is the point in points anyway? Am I missing something?

No - you aren't missing anything - just @Bald Rick losing his crown as biggest point scorer on TFF.

go for it ! get promoting and let's have a battle of who can be the most miserable - Canada or UK !

Not just lost it ......... Crown totally destroyed. NOT even on the first page any more despite desperate postings trying to up the ante.
TBH I have no idea how peeps like @yellowbelly (God alone knows how he's second on the list) manage to garner so many. Must be bribery & almost certainly corruption at play

Psst, the 50p is in the post @Chris F

Me neither.......


................maybe I've got extra 'cos I've still got a full head of hair

Just sayin' @Bald Rick , just sayin'

If you hover over his avatar and click on his points you can see exactly what he got his points for. Its a transparent system!
