Adding value to your grass silage

It will not be long before we hear the familiar sound of the forage harvesters in the fields gathering in the grass to ensile for this year’s winter feed. Love it or hate it, it’s a major part of the farming year and the basal feed for many farmers, but do we give it enough attention to get the most out of this valuable product?

Banishing feed lorries to drive down costs

Somerset beef and arable producer, Richard Coles, has substantially reduced his costs of production by cutting out expensive, bought-in ingredients and replacing them with home-grown feed, including high protein beans.

Charting your success

We are pleased to be associated with the following farmers and contractors whose achievements have been recognised in prestigious awards. Congratulations to all those involved and if we missed you, please let us know.

Ditching the plastic wrap

Kelvin Cave Ltd has been informed that plastic manufacturers are expecting significant price rises which are likely to affect the cost of bale wrap this season.

This highlights the benefits of treating moist hay and haylage with a preservative, which, at many moisture contents, can be used instead of plastic wrap.
