@TWBFarms @The_wilk79 @Fendt_UKIreland Would the operator leave if he didn’t get a brand new 728? What if he got a brand new new Holland of the same HP?

Not a very successful demo when rain stops it even leaving the workshop ☹️🌧️🌧️ Big size difference between @Fendt_UKIreland 724 and new 728

@farminginfife Yeh and the fert price will go up twice as quick

@aliyoung87 It’s shit that the only time we think we’re making money is when some other poor bugger is suffering

@ArableSam @farminginfife Was put in with clover after winter barley as didn’t want to put OSR in as rotation was too close and will graze it off with sheep then get spring barley in
English

@aliyoung87 @farminginfife Is that in a tillage/min till system ?
English

I keep saying I need to use less brassicas in cover crops but mustard is so fast and reliable. #ACERS

@ArableSam As cover crops go, and if you didn’t have OSR in the rotation, it’s a star. Cheap and cheerful.

@andrewlisbon67 @ScotlandNT How does that man still have a job after the euros?

@DRDFellows @Pxfarms We have a field where we sow parallel to the poles and only go under at the ends as they hang too low to get under in the middle of the field. Takes them out the equation when spraying as well
English

I’ve seen @Pxfarms talking about this a lot, this is unacceptable in this day and age. A industry with an awful health and safety record subjected to risks like this. All it would take is a new operator in the dark and we could have a fatality. If you need backing, I’m here James

@bleating_lamb @ramrigblondes 25% wheat would cost £25/t to dry according to drying charges from our co-op. Or you could let the sun and wind dry it for free
English

@ramrigblondes @aliyoung87 If you’ve got a big RHI generation payment from burning biomass to dry biomass the rest of the year (rat & cat farming) then drying wet grain does look logical, otherwise at least £0.30/kWh as you rightly say, it doesn’t

@farminginfife @Wyefarm Been waiting 2 weeks to cut some wheat to get OSR in aswell fucking painful this
English

@Wyefarm Hoping to drill OSR here tomorrow. Been holding off looking for 2 dry days together in order to get it rolled the following day. Been waiting 2 weeks now…..
