@andrewr1972 We suffered last year big time with this, this timenwe went extremely hard when the first weather window for 18 months came and just managed to get finished drilling, fingers crossed going early pays off this time around

241mm here for September, heavy land, next week and week after not looking settled not sure how much drilling we will get done this autumn as these soils will take many days to dry and at the moment can't see a prolonged settled spell.

Brilliant to visit @Beckside_Farm in Cumbria today w/ Lyndon Edwards from @AHDB_Dairy - calf care protocols are brilliant & great to hear about plans for a new shed. The passion, attention to detail & the long range planning from Patrick & his family was mind-blowing!

@fairleigh_ag On this point, my blood boils. Its mid winter there. Sheep naturally get in lamb in the autumn, and lamb in late winter/spring. Efficient production systems mean lamb from here is cheaper in dec-may than theirs. And theirs *might be* outside of that. The British farmers have.....

Don't you love it when you put something negative about a company and suddenly a manager that was "on holiday" is miraculously available...@CertasBusiness

@PaulWoldfarm I get people being annoyed over wages but my pay works out at £2.50 a hour rn and that’s max anyone seems to want to pay. Yes I’m on salary but when you work out basic hours for the pay I receive it’s around that. It’s not liveable.
