Hi, my friesian cow has just given birth 5 days ago and we have been advised that we will need to milk her as she is producing too much milk. We are doing this twice a day but it seems to take us ages to get alot of milk out with both of us doing it at the same time only due to us being new to the milking game.

Am wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to whether I should just buy a portable milking machine.

I'm a new farmer of a established orchard, i want them all organic

Hi All,

I'm a University student, and while not a farmer, I am tasked with developing an innovation that would assist the agricultural industry.

I need some feedback on my idea, and given I’m only a city slicker (although I don’t intend to be forever) I don’t have the country connections I require! As such, I figured this lovely community is a great place to connect and get some feedback!

Hello Yesterday our offer for our new farm was accepted and arenin the process of exchanging ontracts. The property is 40ac and divided into a 10ac paddock and a 30ac paddock. The 30ac paddock has a neighbours cows grazing on it under a personal agreement for him to do so. When we inspected the property we couldn't access the paddock because it was locked. I asked the real estate agent why I couldn't access the 30ac paddock and he said a neighbour keeps cows. My issue is: I'd like access to this paddock once the settlement goes through.

Hi all,

Interested in purchasing a small tractor with slasher and bucket, our block is moderately elevated so I am assuming a 4WD model would be the go.

Also have read some reports about Korean tractors including the Kioti brand and as I have had no experience with tractors I thought a question on this forum would be invaluable.

Kind regards,

Michael.
