is the heartbeat theory out of date now?

I kind of understand what your saying that all animals have a certain amount of heartbeats before they're living on borrowed time and it depends on the individual's health and heart rate on how they're used up?

Anyway not really sure of the theory heard bits and pieces about it.

Has it been discredited?

Are you registering them on Agfood.ie?
There's an option to pick the old or new herd identifier on there.

You can still use the White cards that come with the tags. The new version of the herd identifier is already printed on them.
You just fill the card out as normal and post them.

Local man who couldn't read around here told them when given the list of cases that he knew one of the defendants well. Got sent home.
Edited to say that was 25 or so years ago.

Go and do your civic duty.

Probably a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

And then you can go home relieved that however many problems you have in your day to day living, you're still blessedly normal compared to the disaster stories of chaotic homelife you will see paraded in front of you on the day....

I got called and told them I was a farmer and had to do school runs and would cost me 150 a day to get somebody to do my jobs and was excused.

hi guys. I'm hoping to put out fertiliser this weekend on the two silage fields. This is my first time ever to put it out ourselves and I'm not sure how many bags (10.10.20) to put out per field. The total amount of the fields that we'll bale would roughly be 11ha.

Being from Cavan I've no real knowledge of cereals.

I've noticed on my regular travels to and from Belfast that some of the oil seed rape crop is already in flower.

I never noticed this coming so early and always associated osr flowering with much later in the summer.

I presume this is just some early variety?? If it's in flower now when was that sown??

I got called and the case was thrown out the day before it was to start. Was looking forward to the rest

Got a text from eldest lad that a cow had milk fever. I am in Liverpool. I hhave no idea where the flutter valve is. It's ages since it was used. Thankfully it was a heifer who was down after calving. Had one yesterday morning too.

I wouldn't use 10 10 20 for silage ground.
Mostly use some compound like 27 2.5 5, and put out 3.5 to 4 bags per acre.
You need to be aiming for 90 to 100 units of nitrogen per acre.
If the fields have had a good dose of slurry, you could go with four bags of straight CAN.

diarmuidb24 · 05-04-2017 08:02AM

All the farmers around us use 10.10.20 and told us its the best one to use. Haven't got any slurry i'm afraid.

Half a ton to the acre so?
100 units of phosphorus, and 200 units of potash?

What did your contractor spread last year for you?

no body can tell you what's best in the absence of soil sample results

samples cost circa 15 or 16 euro & could save you hundreds if you using wrong fert.

diarmuidb24 · 05-04-2017 08:22AM

If I remember correctly I think he spread 5 bags per field. Yeah soil samples is next on the list. We've already got the fertiliser at the house so were gonna have to go ahead with it. Will try get soil samples after silage is made and see what the story is then with it!

If we're not spreading slurry for silage we spread 18:6:12

wait till next January to soil test, . or at least 3 months after fert' appllication, otherwise you could get false readings.

Well why did ya ask so if the farmers around you told you what to use?

diarmuidb24 · 05-04-2017 08:59AM

Well if you opened your eyes and read my original post I asked how much 10.10.20 should I put out per field, not what type of fertiliser to use

Fair play to him for copping it. Obviously well trained.

Oh, and come on Bournemouth:)

They were worried that you would advocate prodding, skulling, squeezing, or shooting the defendant.

Which would be a bit unfair considering all the other motorists get off with a slap on the wrist.
