Hi,

I have a question please for those of you in Tractorland.

I've recently begun using a Chamberlain Countryman 354.  To assist in identification, the Chamberlain brand originated in Western Austria in the late 40's until sometime aroun the 70's-80's became owned by John Deere before winding up in the mid to late 80's i believe.

Tha machine in question is a 92hp powered by a Perkins 6-354 6cyl engine and designed for broadacre farming - no 3pt linkage.

Hi, We are embarking on a pasture raised egg business, starting with ~100 hens. At its peak, we are hoping to produce ~2000 eggs/day. Whereas, it is much more than a backyard endeavour, it is nowhere near a commercial one. My question is how is the candling done in this middle of the road scenario? It would be very labour intensive to do by hand, yet the commercial machines are very expensive. Hope someone can help Thanks Susan

Hi there, I am brand new to this forum but am looking at purchasing a property of approx 100 acres in gippsland VIC and wanted to know roughly what the cattle to acres ratio would be.  The property is a mixure of rye and native grass along with some couch grass.. 

Hi everyone, hope you all are well. Just wondering how to register our farm/property name? I understand the brand name through DAF / PIC to tag animals, however i can't seem to find anything about registering our actual farm.

Thanks Carla and William

Hi folks. I moved to a property recently where, apart from our yard and a few acres of bushland, we also have about 1200 square metres of cleared land, and we just don't know what to do with it. It's quite slopey, but it seems to be naturally terraced. It faces north-east, so gets plenty of sun. And it's in the Gold Coast hinterland, so not much in the way of winters, with soil that is pretty dry and rocky with plenty of clay. We've gone through a few different ideas (olive trees, sheep/goats, etc) with our latest being to just plant fruit and nut trees to make it into a family orchard.

Hi

We have owned our place for 25+ years & farm cattle. Our boundary fences are a mix of plain, barbed & electric & keep our cattle in.
