    For all you Archers fans.........

    My opinion that George is a noxious little scrote who has got it coming to him, is only reinforced by this information. Imagine letting that vulnerable young woman think that she is responsible for the loss of the unborn child. And I'm well aware that she should have had her bottom smacked...

    Retirement and farm sale

    Something makes me think that quote was in relation to Estate Duty, aimed at the Stately Home Elite, after The War, when the country was rebuilding and there was genuine poverty among the ordinary population, who had fought for King and Country. A land fit for Heroes, and all that.. "Tax the...

    Retirement and farm sale

    I wonder if the actual net take of taxes both headline and stealth was greater under Healey's tenure. Bearing in mind there were annual price negotiations, and various production subsidies that progressive farmers could access? Im not old enough to remember, it would be an interesting exercise...

    I have a DPX, my second, and it will be ideal for what you want. I have no extensions on mine, and it comfortably takes a 1000kg bag of urea or 2 x 600kg of everything else. It is basic, easily adjustable for pattern, importantly, it runs horizontally making it much easier to maintain by eye as...

    Morrisons to drop British-only sourcing pledge for lamb

    If Banbury store is anything to go by, they won't matter much longer anyway. They used to see most of our shopping money, now only buy breaded scampi there, because it is by far the best one. Their spuds are stockfeed.

    Prothio is now almost for nothing, reckon about £17/L, has a place on Osr, barley and in earwash at that, surely. Wasn't long since it was £200+ can

    Clarkson again

    Which assessor was at Clarkson's, is he the Rob ****** fellow that has a bit of a reputation that precedes him?

    It's too late to now organise anything, in an orderly fashion, before the election anyway. My suspicion is that landowners vote for this bunch of carpetbagging spivs only out of fear for what Labour might do to land tax reliefs. I can see nothing else to commend them. I reckon we are every bit...

    Clarkson again

    It wasn't safe 45 yrs ago; a black lad with an attitude problem wanted to duff me up, on a school Rugby tour.:)

    Best smell of the year

    The baked spuds in the embers made it all seem worth it, and Roundup was about £60 for a 5L can.

    Hard to pass Univoq, it is a good product and the savings per Ha are good. But my only potential jeopardy is maybe a few DCV diaphragm seals, I don't have a jazzy sprayer.

    Best smell of the year

    We tried elderberry. You can only imagine the mess in Mum's larder cupboard when they blew. Like a scene from a horror movie.

    Best smell of the year

    It is odd how smells can evoke deep seated memories. My Gran had a pantry in their old farmhouse, where she always kept at least two unopened brown bricks of bags of Tate and Lyle sugar, lest she be caught wanting if War were ever to be declared again. That old pantry had a particular smell, of...

    Russia will be a lush, verdant paradise this week, and all the wheat almost guaranteed for 4t/ac. ADHB and USDA are writing the script as we speak. You were obviously referencing only your and my crops, where the summer rain just misses.

    Workshop toolbox

    The best tool cabinets I have ever seen come out of the Cool Spring Hutterite Colony Workshops in Manitoba, All heavy gauge folded aluminium. You don't have a connection with anyone that has parts sent over by container by any chance? https://uplandmfg.com/

    Best smell of the year

    The sweet smell of proper permanent pasture hay. No matter how crappy a day you are having lambing, or doing anything, tbh, it is a reminder that it too will pass, and the Sun will shine again. The smell of the old coarse Alpen- like coarse calf mix, cherry baccy smoke, the first smell of a...
