    Hares, can you have to many?

    No I have seen the opposite, the buzzards will take the leverets, certainly here they did, we've had Kites for the past 10 years and I actually think they tend to push the buzzards away as their numbers are down. I've yet to see a Kite take a leveret. We have a decent number here, lovely to see...

    Getting rid of potato beds

    We had to use a D8 and blade here when we ripped up a load many many years ago, I think with a PH they'd still be at it now! But know some ridge and furrows are a lot deeper/larger than others.

    Ground Nesting Birds, Bees and Leverets.

    An interesting one certainly, I have drilled 3/4 of the farm into AB8 so far and was very mindful re leverets etc. I sprayed off well in advance with a lot of hares present, however when I came to disc it/drill it etc there weren't any in the given areas and no sign of any leverets either. Also...

    Red Tractor at it again with the WWF

    I fear you are placing too much hope/trust in that sham of an organisation, the AHDB. Nothing will come of their review of imports except to say "better off with RT". Please remind yourself this is the very same organisation that was propping up RT to the tune of £250k/year..............

    Swallows 2024

    Well, I thought two residents had returned but they haven't, normally have 10 or so pairs in the stables but so far nothing, in fact hardly seen any about full stop, most unusual and a bit of a worry. They normally start to appear here 7th April so way over a month late if in fact they are ever...

    Manual or Auto for towing

    Am old school, manual here, Isuzu 1.9, the old D-Max was shocking for towing re first gear, way too high but the new 1.9 is excellent re first gear. Would never have an auto unless I lived in a city then I may consider it.

    Solar rent

    Split it up, some in Ltd Co thereby not generating more than the farm and rest in personal names, once in a Ltd Co it costs a lot to get it out if you ever want to do that.

    Mf135 engine died

    They normally block at the 90 degree bend, tank doesn't look too bad at all. Does the black tube on the tap have a angle cut in the side of it to allow fuel in or is it drawing from the top? We used to clean the filter on our old 165 but in the end did away with it and put a tube in it like you...

    NFU members only!

    Just engaged with an NFU bod on FB re this survey, needless to say he fits they typical NFU type, stating that I shouldn't "be piggybacking" of the NFU survey, I did point out that to piggyback, one would hope that a gain was to be had which in this case is obviously not the case.
