Deere-est Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 funny you should say that tris the fella in the pics when he works at wynsdyke farms he stays overnight in marlbrough so maybe one day we could do that Just say the word mate That cattle shed is much like many being built on the council farms in Wiltshire at the moment mate. Half of the silage customers are council farms and you should see the money being spent recently on the tennant farms. Do you know what the lorry was tipping? Milled wheat husks or something?

MJB1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 thats the one marcus we have put all the slurry scapers in there but i have never got there will do thou , the dairy unit was four million so i am told the fella that owns it is a . com betting company real big place is that graham, got a lot of money invested in that set up i think it's catered for by either the dorchester or calne mill so it's unlikely i'll deliver there again , quite an eye opener , apart from 6-8 robots the main shed is all compartmentised so the herd is split into groups, one robot caters for each little herd , & so that the herdsman kan keep an eye on everything cctv cameras are on a direct feed into the office & a suspended gantry walk runs right down the middle of the shed aprox 12 up so a good view can be had down onto each little herd . mu only gripe is that some of the newer robots have their feed bins in the shed & instead of running the bins feed pipe out to the outside of the shed, the drivers have to haul all their pipe into the shed , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 marcus was your calne mill owned by a feed firm called tucks in the eighties a few pics from recent farm s , you dont see many tower cranes on farms they are building a bio digester to make electricity from cow slurry they will be self sufficent for there own electric and put one megawatt a day into the grid which when up and running will produce an income of £5,000 a day :o so they tell me ,apparently at the moment in germany they are starting two of these plants up a day at the moment they have just over 500 milking cows they did have 700 but while building work is going on got rid of 200 so plenty of the raw material i think they will also grow maize for the digester as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
