Making farming more profitable
Problem: the bottom bales always get wet from standing on wet concrete. This affects millions of bales nationally and is a huge hidden cost. Solution: stack them on old tyres Savings: better, more consistent silage, less need for additive, less need to 'insure' by going to 6 instead of 4 layers of wrap
| |
Problem: harrow clod board needs raising when it starts to bulldoze, lowering when clods are smaller Solution: fitting a hydraulic control so you can adjust on the move. Savings: diesel when it's set too low, a second pass if set too high, and time stopping and adjusting

The world food crisis - we reap what we sow
The world need not have suddenly realised it was eating more than it was growing - official figures have been showing this for years.
The past 15 years in world agriculture has been a shambles. International organisations given the task of securing basic food supplies have failed in their duty. The World Bank and others have focused too much attention on social reform and democratic change, and expected farm production to magically increase. Today, finally, and at last, the big shots who make seismic changes in our world are talking about agriculture in a new way. They need to make more sense than they have in the past.
