Took the opportunity to see how many holes are in the old cow yard roof prior to some predicted bodging.......Sigh.

Can't afford to repair properly particularly with the current price of grain (I buy a lot)

Finally, i have a trailer that suits the baler. 30 bales at a time heading for home

It’s ok @Cuthbert and at @Bob c I can handle a joke

.

Trouble is that after working somewhere for 13 years where you have to account for every hour of my workout day or you don’t get paid! I find it hard not to be doing something all the time. I even feel guilty for having to long for a brew

, could also be a little bit ocd

what sort of roof has the shed got ?

Yorkshire lad · Aug 9, 2018

Some of our roasted machinery leaving
Anyone got a self propelled sprayer , 14 ton trailer and mobile drier to sell

Phil P · Aug 9, 2018

Here’s today’s achievements

, had an hour on the second ram repair with the oval holes, it also killed some time to let traffic die down before moving the combine again.

Made it round again.

Then sleeved it to size.

Went and retrieved the combine to get the last bit of winter wheat cut before the weather turns for a few days.

Didn’t do to bad consistently it was only sown in January.

Winter wheat done for another year

Then decided to have a go in the he canary seed, not sure whether it’s good or bad as it’s first year we’ve grown it.

Got rained off by this moody looking cloud

All done for another day, see what tomorrow’s brings

Did I get it right? No butter was involved.

For Devon yes. They have to hide the cream under the jam as it isn’t as good as Cornish!

He can even take a photo from behind whilst driving the combine and header trailer! Skills!

Looking forward to tomorrow’s update @Cuthbert.

No, can’t see the cream! Each slice needs to be a heart attack in the making or you’re not doing it right.
