why did we ban. Chlorothalonil and epoxiconazole.

Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.

Heaps of manure in pens cows laid in /on it. sh!t everywhere. Is this normal practice??

Usually just wear jeans, but looking for an alternative for lambing. I like the look of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/dickies-everyday-trousers-khaki-black-34-w-34-l/742rp They're cheap enough to have a punt on, but don't have reinforced knees or any water-resistance, so wondering if...

I am looking for a welder for farm jobs what sort of amp mig welder would I need and what brand is good but reliable but not too expensive because i am new to welding and would a mig welder be the right thing to learn on fixing things around the farm?

Can anyone explain to me how we got to the situation where the tax burden is at the highest level for 70 years but our public services are in such a shocking state? The NHS is a black hole for money, councils going bust left, right and centre, the judicial system creaking, armed forces now...

Hi. Looking for advice on replacement of an old shed roof on the farm that forms part of the steading. The current cement roof is completely shot with multiple holes and areas that feel like wet cardboard. So it needs to go. The fact that it's constantly covered with moss is another bugbear as I...

We've been asked to do some repairs and fabricating of stock gates. It will fit in well as can do as and when along with plenty to go at. They will provide all materials, we'll supply labour and tools inc welder, most will be done in our workshop. Whats a fair hourly rate?
