    Red Tractor at it again with the WWF

    I don't remember being consulted, but as merely somebody who grows the feed crops, I doubt I qualify as an 'industry stakeholder'. Why would I have any need to consider the proposals carefully? Import Equivalence : One of the key pieces of work we are exploring is an alternative entry level...

    A file that contains the installed raspberry pi operating system and software that is copied onto an sd card and just boots and runs, saves installing it all and needing the initial setup. On this page, the download link is right at the bottom The (brief) instructions are near the bottom-...

    How to set up your own RTK base station.. for about £300

    I'm pretty sure I just expanded the image onto an SD card, popped that into the Pi and it pretty much worked to setup by a browser, didn't have a mouse, keyboard or screen plugged in to the Pi https://github.com/CentipedeRTK/pi-gen_RTKbase/releases/tag/RTKBaseGNSS-RPi-2.4.1 I've got the...

    Drawbar or pickup hitch

    May be...It's a SImba Freeflow yoked to a JD 7810 which has the turning circle of the Ever Given, so there's probably not much in it in reality!

    Drawbar or pickup hitch

    Pick up hitch and bottom link arms right down, back tyres hitting the drawbar is the limiter of turn angle for us.

    Simba free-flow direct drill

    I spoke to simtech at LAAMA last year about buying their tines & points to put on a Freeflow. I got the strong impression if I hadn't taken the hint and left the stand they'd have chucked me off!

    AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

    EE on a Samsung Galaxy, voice over LTE turned on, lots of signal showing and can see a mast line of sight most of the time. In Yorkshire so the signal will be well 'ard! Searching the interweb now, lots of people complain of it as a problem on EE, I just assumed it was the way of things, so use...

    Yes, the autosteer board has the GPS, the IMU and the motor / valve driver all on one board, along with a teensy to integrate & control it all

    AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

    I've not got an iPhone, but using an android phone hotspot works fine until I have a phone call, which kills the data connection. After a minute of call, RTK does a runner and the line moves by a metre or three!

    No, what you've got will plug into an autosteer board so not wasted.

    AHL2 - Winter Bird Food

    Yup, I was just going to ignore it as nonsense, including what they say about AHL1 somehow needing a year to mature before the flowers flower! It's not what the handbook said when I signed up to an agreement in good faith.

    AHL2 - Winter Bird Food

    With a three year agreement and specifically allowed to be rotational annually, how can only having it in place for one year not meet the aims? That would suggest that unless left in the same place for three years, at least one of the years is not meeting the aims?

    RPA helpline - are their any humans left?

    Keep trying. I spoke to someone there this morning after 2 goes on the hold queue and 7 calls in total. Just hang up if you get the callback message and try again in a couple of minutes. The chap I spoke to said SFI has hammered them, more calls than they've ever had and no more staff to deal...

    Mounting magnetic receivers on plastic roof.

    I use this stuff https://www.toolstation.com/extra-strong-foam-mounting-tape/p45669 Stick some aluminium sheet to the roof as a ground plane, then stick the antenna to the sheet, both with the tape. It will come off if needed, but it takes some effort!

    no farmers no food

    I know for with 100% cast iron copper bottomed certainty that 'chemtrails' do not exist on 'brand A' aircraft. And seeing as the theory has it that all makes of commercial aircraft, including 'brand A', emit chemtrails, the theory is just wrong.

    SFI Pilot payments

    Has anybody else in the pilot had a payment for the third year yet, and did it include the participation payment of £5k? We've just had the first payment of the third year, and no participation payment. When I look at the agreement on the RPA portal, the 3rd year participation payment shows as...

    Capital grants - Farming Equipment and Technology Fund 2024

    They look to have changed the rules this year. If one makes a claim, but finds a cheaper item that meets the spec, only 50/60% of the invoice price will be paid, not the stated grant amount that's 50/60% of the 'nominal' price. Which is nice.
