acem Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Never heard of a floating dairy before... https://www.thefencepost.com/news/bureaucracy-forces-closure-of-worlds-first-floating-dairy-farm/ Sorry but it won't let me post pics. 1 Quote
Chester5732 Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Nothing like good old government overstep. That’s why there are so many Dutch dairies here. Quote
Board Shortener Tom Posted August 13 Posted August 13 I think I saw this place on "Clarkson's Farm" when they visited it in the Netherlands. The show is interesting as is "This Farming Life." All I can say is that I would not want to be a farmer in the UK. The government, even at the lowest level, seems to want to put every farmer out of business there. Stuck in their own arrogant ways it appears to me. Of course, I guess that's just how government pretty much is anywhere....🙄😉 5 Quote

New Englander Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I saw it on Clarkson's too and wondered how it possibly could survive. Looked pretty cool though. The same episode had a NL farmer who was beating the system in some ways by making his property an airport thus skating the onerous drone rules to enable him to use high tech autonomous drones to selectively spray his fields. He had some impressive yields and all new equipment. 2 Quote
