    I'm all for caring for the environment but not at the expense of self sufficiency, seems we haven't got our priorities in the right order.

    Good to see Steve on the video they farm only 5 miles from us near Banbury, we had tremendous rain but I’m on crutches after breaking my hip so wasn’t able to empty gauge so not sure how much we had but Lorraine said the flooding was bad when she was shepherding

    One of the best things I did was change to liquid fertiliser so accurate,never had an issue with top up delivery’s at peak times,upgraded sprayers after years of use applying N with no corrosion cleanliness was the key.

    Andrew, regarding moling to aid drainage, rather than using metal expanders why don’t you use ceramic ones?? 🤔🤔🤔

    • @WardysWaffleAndrewWard
      @WardysWaffleAndrewWard  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We couldn’t get any at the time from Spaldings where I was when they needed replacing. The price I got the hardened steel ones for (which I now can’t remember 😴🤦‍♂️) was too good value for money to drive somewhere else for the ceramic ones.

    Hi Andrew a great update, I was going to say as I am a small farmer my self, but how does the tax payer benefit from lots of land in Sfi mixes, if it not producing food, and would this lead to more imports.
    I do understand feeding wildlife, but we can't eat wildlife.
    My self I am just going into SFI myself, and promar are applying for me.

    😜 S-L-O-W M-O-T-I-O-N 😂 long waffle 😅 I think you should look into de-humidifier in your sheds. Cheaper to run than the hot fans I guess and produce hot air from the refrigerator. Water could be used to spread on fields. Could help keep the machinery from getting rusty too. Shame headstocks can’t be a standard like the 3 point link.
