We got drilling spring barley today for a neighbour on some really light silt hopefully tomorrow we can make a start on his vining peas then if and a big if the weather holds we can make a start on our spring wheat . If the weather behaves we will swap the combination drill for the 8m Freeflow can put a lot of acres in quick but im sure that won’t go to plan

No Renaults I used to love my celtis but I drove it to 10k and my lot made me change to a valtra
The nephew left school and fancied the valtra and the work it did so I milked more cows , only bought the mighty 62 to do my few odd jobs

Back on at lunchtime after yesterdays rain, bit sticky to start with but that’s the first block in and Urea spread on tonight as the wind dropped, that’s the lightest block drilled so it’s only going to get harder from here

Photo dump!

It's amazing what a good night sleep can do,managed to sort KV spreader thanks to a phone call to Sharmans,then got my barley spun on for a companion crop,got the glue gun ramped up first thing and fixed the heap of .
Got my old boy set up on on the Germinator and to be fair its not doing a bad job now,push my luck and the with the bit between my teeth managed to get the beet drill on and I've just put in 48ac this afternoon/tonight.
Feeling much better.

Had a go at my version of controlled traffic today, same a-b line but staggered the wheelmarks on both cultivation and drilling so nothing was run on twice. Broke my own record too albeit on two different machines, 143 acres... Nice when a whole day goes right!

Bit worried for what I've most recently drilled and the biblical amount of heavy rain we have had in the last 48 hours. I shouldn't have to worry about seed rotting in the spring!

It should be okay as long as you didn’t paddle it in I would have thought.
