The song thrushes will thank you ' hard to believe that a bird that was once very common is now scarce. I have seen a couple recently

Back up the sheep farm on fox patrol, not a fox to be seen, just them black and white foxes so swapped rifles and shot 7 rabbits for 7 shot ( that’s very good for me) took 2 home for baiting up at the shoot

Talking of price of wheat etc, it's not gonna get any better- we're not going to mow as much silage or hay this year cos price to fertiliser it. Usually around £250/T been quoted almost £1k/T this year!! Cheaper to buy silage in

Your spot on mate. I had a disagreement (fucķing nob 'ed) with a bloke in village shop yesterday after he was shouting the odds about farmers "raping the land".

Everywhere I go they use chicken shit and slurry, are you saying that they shouldn’t have been doing that?

No the grubament are trying to stop it but no one can afford fertiliser now

[Sausagedog 7,381]

Think the issue with muck is due to slurry and run off into water courses. Most farms are slurry based over traditional muck. Trad muck is good. Slurry not so good.

Some inject it under the turf which is better.
