In wales the big dairy farmers intensive all year round shed based buying in food are having to export fym
Just wondering if same with pigs

Could be if not the acers to match with but i do one batch sfm and have 1000acer of my own to cover ….exporting wouldnt be an issue i have someone trying to buy it already , the arable guys like it .

Pig muck is good on arable ground but does require more frequent lime applications from experience. The high copper content on sheep grazing can be an issue if you get too liberal with applications. The nitrates in our borehole samples increased from 80 ppm to 120 ppm over the 30 years our pig herd expanded and has since returned to 75ppm over the last 27 years, since packing up the herd. This was using a straw based system.

Has it just popped off or sheared shaft? If it’s just come off, slacken both adjusters right back and ratchet strap around it to link arm to pull it back or jack knife it and pull with telehandler!

I’m putting potatoes in half. The top end is bit stony so it’ll be discs and striptilled beans . There’s a lot of warthog holes to level too.

Before you use it Again, check all the oil levels in the gearbox because it can leak out of the breather.

Sheep

They say wool is good on top of drainage pipe as a filter ,
we where under impression it did not include the meat too

 

[Lazy Eric]

Did it with feed trailer other day, a lot of waste had built up and it was level with top of solid sides. I thought that looks like a lot of forking and time so turned it over

I do the same

A bit of carpentry

Taster day in the farm shop today. Made a nice change to be doing something that wasn’t either aggravating my sciatica hedge trimming or negatively affected by the weather

 

[yellowbelly]

It's hardly been ideal clipping weather today but we've got the hoggs for this summer's sales done..

Tucked up inside on plenty of fresh straw tonight.

no one likes limbs dropping on your fences however if your lucky enough for a decent limb to land plumb on the middle of a post i guess you will take it on the chin.
