I expect my staff to take a 30mins dinner break at noon. Which is unpaid. Is this reasonable? If we are busy and they don't stop I pay them.

I’ve just removed a fibre cement roof from a dairy cow shed, fitting a new composite roof for machinery storage / workshop. Was first installed 2009 so it is definitely not asbestos. Has anyone come across these sheets? They are 1m wide, rather than 1m cover, I guess they are designed for...

Having a major over haul in the grain store this year.... New roof going on and I've bought fan for all 8 pedestals...... Can anyone point me in the right direction for a control panel or way of economically? Is the barn owl system any good?

I have a footpath running through the yard between the drier and a flat floor grainstore. It would be handy to run a conveyor along the roof of this shed to load it straight from the drier if needed. It will mean the conveyor crossing the footpath albeit 6m in the air. Is there any legislation...

Chatting with my agronomist this morning and he was telling me how some FBT agreements, down in more arable areas, had clauses in them requiring the land to be soil tested at the beginning and end of the term with a full spectrum analysis, with a charge to put right any degradation. I've heard...

Currently got a Sinar Agripro 6095, and to be polite, it's results can be variable. Just put a new battery in, sampling at exactly same place in heap, just 5 mins difference and the results can be 2% out. Can trust it, so any recs? Must be portable, not keen on those Prontimeter grinder ones
