I'll give this a few days to dry before drilling and in the mean time plough some beet land.

Diversification project complete, so roll on the wife’s pasties and pies. Hopefully this might not be a bad time to be launching farm raised and baked food, perhaps including delivery.
Nearly as clean as @Robert K’s yard!View attachment 864855

Looks good especially the food part.

I was supposed to be on a Devon and Essex YFC exchange this weekend but we've had to call it off due to this virus.

Is it normal for you to plough so fleet for spuds????around here ploughing for veg is usually at 12+ inches. Even been a ploughed deep, most people like to just be bringing up a little sand/chalk.

Gradually going shallower and shallower,following Mark Stalham's advice.

The new trend for such places is utilising drone technology for delivering the pasties and sausage rolls.
It all sounds a bit pie in the sky to me.

We need an emoji for groan along with the others.

I thought I'd post a picture just so you dont get beach envy[emoji106]

I'll be back onto the plough+flexicoil press and drill land next week but I do rather like this other stuff. I find it easier, as long as you can get a crop in in good conditions you'll have a good crop not like the light stuff which can and often does fall at th last hurdle.

Interesting I often wonder if we'd be better ploughing the beet land shallower, we put a lot of muck on and if it was shallower the bit would get hold of it sooner but the senior generation like to see a bit of sand coming up.

Believe it or not, your posts do inspire me to try to keep the place as tidy as I can, but you’ll still need to bring the biggest broom that you’ve got!

The key to a tidy yard and buildings is to try and tidy up as you go
