In the South East we have had significantly different weather than the rest of the country. In the farmers weekly a couple of weeks ago a farmer from Ashford was saying that his spring barley was below par as he had received no significant rain since easter and his crops where suffering from the ef...

The four of us there chatting and the subject of price cropped up, all agreed that hay would be expensive thi...

If my memory serves me right, I seem to remember that when big bag silage first started it was just a round bale put into a big bag and the air was sucked out using an industrial hoover. It was stacked using a spike and the holes sealed using adhesive patches. Bale handlers, shrink wrap and bale wr...

The problem is Clive that there are not enough Dexters being kept commercially, until breeders see the need it will not happen. I think it must happen eventually but trying to convince someone with a few cows and lots of show success that they need to record this and that at regular intervals will ...

Being in the 'sunny south east' we do seem to get less rain than other parts of the UK. I have been able to gather my hay for at least the last 5 years without any rain whilst it was in the swath.
