Would you recommend any podcasts? Particularly in the area of grass/fertiliser/ soil or even foliar fertiliser. Thanks

With the hen dung how is that incorporated? Any risk of botulism?

@DylanFarrell-t3j chicken manure is spread directly, I questioned the botulism too but seems to be near nil risk

The history of farming in the western world is ever bigger farms, fewer of them, fewer children locally, little or no community activities. CB radios came from this background in the Usa and on the scale up madness goes.

@michaeloconnor9809 quite the opposite actually, whereas until now this farm has employed only one person, it will now employ at least 4, dairy conversion has a massively positive impact on rural communities both socially and economically and this is grass fed, quality food being produced

Have been foliar spraying dissolved urea with humates here for several years. It is by far the most NUE of any form of nitrogen application and it is amazing how the soil structure improoves.

Carbon footprint is an individual blame game, a load of bollocks can’t understand why you still swallow it. I’ll let you into a secret it’s all tied onto agenda 20/30 which I’m sure you’ve heard about. You know the secret meetings your government has in Davos every year with the WEF which the media keep very quiet about? Well they’re planning on getting rid of farms using the climate farce, wake up and smell the roses FFS.

No need to cringe at other grasses. If you pick the right varieties, you’ll take the mixed species leys to another level. I have cocksfoot and tall fescue in my mixtures, out growing PRG and cows still doing 1.4kg MS late lactation. The grasses and legumes are the bread and butter, the herbs are useful but peripheral. Yarrow is a useful addition as it will be invisible some years then produce well in a dry year.

In the dry east of England, birdsfoot trefoil is one of my most persistent components because drought checks its competition. I was surprised to see it growing well on the Mullet when I visited Ireland. Growing on the dunes and verges however.

Hey Graise, do you advise to use the aerator in this kind of environment? To help infiltrate more water
@GraiseConsultancy2 ай бұрын
@xMarf yes in some situations, usually dig a few holes and decide what's the best solution, sometimes proper drainage, sometimes deep aerator, sometimes a spike roller
