To start with before anyone says, I don’t mean the ones on your head or lack there of!
Over the past few years the number of brown hares across our farm and the neighbours as well has increased dramatically. This is probably due to a zero tolerance approach to corsers and the change in the law...

Well I finally 🎉🎉🎉 have someone coming to look at making up a road up the hill to a derelict cottage we own. The situation has gotten critical due to a tiny roof leak becoming a more serious one, but there's no chance of getting work started because the track is so bad it's only accessible by...

Next month, a new grant for hen housing will be available to laying hen and pullet farmers in England with flocks of 1,000 birds or more. We've just published the guidance...
I am also a child from a rural area in China, and I used to be very poor. I had very little land to cultivate.
Our family of four had only 7,175 feet of land. Very little. We farmers were forced to go out to work to barely make ends meet.
I would like to know how much arable land you farmers in...

We have taken on some adjoining grazing land that has no water.
A possibility is pumping from the brook approx 80 m across our existing field to the new field.
There is a slight incline - not steep as this is a brook meadow we're going across.
Would a 2" petrol water pump to an IBC work ?
We...
Apologies if this has been covered before, but I am interested to know if anybody out there (in the UK that is, sorry not trying to alienate anybody else) is genuinely mob-grazing sheep on tall grass or other covers?
It seems that many people are trying it to some degree, but I cannot find...
Is the Livestock sector, especially sheep and beef at a significant crossroads?
The present long overdue higher prices for sheep may not mean that there will be an increase in production.
Statistically there will be a significantly lower lamb crop this year, so it is likely that prices will...
We are in a position of getting a fair bit of hot water periodically from a modest but successful solar thermal set up,
Generating it is easy from our panel In the sun of a day but storing overnight with minimal loss for maybe a grey er day next morning is the challenge.
How do you insulate...
What’s all this moaning I’ve been hearing on lambing conditions down south this year?

Recently set up a new ltd company for a solar development. We’ve leased the land and get a rent dependent on the amount of electric sold. The land used is owned privately and not in the company. Do I need insurance? There’s two directors who are family members. My current insurers are telling me...

Hello from the northern U.S.. Spring is just getting started here. Grass is greening up nicely and some early leaves are poking out of the trees. Almost done with calving.
My wife and I raise beef cattle in Minnesota and would love to travel to the UK someday.
How realistic would it be for us...
RABDF Down to Earth, the regenerative livestock farming event, will be hosted at a housed cow unit for the second year in a row; cows milked 3x per day, I understand it to be "high input, high output".
Not knocking confinement systems, but can this system really be regenerative?
I believe that...
Got the email saying Groundswell tickets are on sale. Been to it since the start, but £250 for 2 days entry and camping is a bit on the steep side. Much though I love going probably going to give it a miss this year.
