I think we all know that if we want to make money I mean a sensible amount farming is no longer the way, farming is becoming a sideline paid for by the other enterprises. One day people may wake up and smell the coffee but untill then farmers(anything but) will have to rely on other things to...

I've something advertised on Facebook Marketplace and someone is interested in buying it, He says he's British but currently in Poland. What is the safest way for me to receive the money (£40)? I will not have anything to do with Pay Pal.

Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...

Just knocking a few ideas about. Before epoxy was banned we used adexar 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) epoxiconazole and 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) fluxapyroxad. Would buying straight fluxapyroxad and adding .5 of teb do the same thing. Would work out at £22/ha as apposed to revistar at £51 or vimog plus...
I have a few items of machinery to sell. Anyone any ideas on the most tax efficient way to dispose of them. We farm in a partnership. My accountant says sales will go into profit pushing us into high income tax bracket. Wondered if missing any other solutions? Tia
