    Harry there are uses for alpaca fleece. We own/breed alpacas and have a shop mainly selling things made from alpaca, hypoallergenic, warmer than wool and softer. You can even get it made into duvets and pillows which are incredible and I am always amazed so many people sell their fleeces so cheaply or even do nothing with them.

    I’ll ask the daft question. Spraying a systemic weedkiller onto a crop prior to harvesting means the entire plant has absorbed the chemical. Surely that means that what is made from the rape seeds (or wheat, barley, etc) incorporates the weedkiller which then enters the food chain?

We get loads of unprepared people who assume their ride on mowers don't require checking and then realise that they should have when they are halfway cutting their lawn and the mower packs up due to belts not being checked.

    I do understand, that you are running a buisiness there and that it is not always as romantic, as most non-farmers probarbly want it to be.
    I would be tremendously interested in a video about chemicals, aids and products in general that you have to use, choose to use and what possible alternatives would be.

      I am certain that in the future the human race will regret that we were all fed poison by our farmers, who wanted their combines to get through the harvest without clogging up.
      Continue to use Roundup after harvest Harry, to clean up the fields.
      But please Harry, be a pioneer. Stop using roundup prior to harvest on food crops.
