You know you shouldnt beileve anything you read on the internet....i made the same mistake as you....look where it got me
thats why im not taking too much notice of whats being said on here
we swap and chop it about through the season, the heavier stuff thats always spring cropped, gets ploughed deep, 3 x 16", while its half dry, then as it gets later we go to 4 x 14" to do the kinder land and stuff coming winter cereals
it works for us, thats the main thing
Its right next to the main road, and it hasnt been drilled yet. We never autumn drill that field, its not cost effective, its better to let the winter do the work
nothing wrong with being "frugal" as i call it
Il admit, there are worse places, i might be up your way soon. Other half has always wanted to go on a steam train, so a trip to the north york moors is being planned for just before harvest
but its in the rules apparently.............:ROFLMAO:
Soils vary. Say we was now in august, i could take any plough whats been in a hedge for 30 years, plough two breeds down our number 8 field and it would be as bright as a sixpence, its just the nature of that land, its got the weight in it...
havent got the time nowdays, as my longer absences on here and facebook indicate
its a mix of getting older, a wider circle of friends, family, and the work diary being fully booked, plus enjoying the finer things in life
Believe me, that pictured above isnt easy ground, we have light land too, pure silt in some places. But we are good farmers, and take care to leave a nice clean stubble with no loose trash, so that following operations can be carried out easily, and cleanly
after all, its the folling crop thats...
Indeed
maybe i have yorkshire blood then, as i give nothing away either
This is what i see as ploughing...i can achieve this day in day out all winter...to me, an entire field ploughed up and down to the road, with stripes in it like the village cricket pitch, has as much attraction as a...
indeed, and they have probably spent a great deal of time and money to get that far
had i had a set of narrower tyres, bright boards, the cross shaft 3" further over, who knows
wont know now till august, as that will be its next outing, on something what will certainly brighten it, or break it...
No ive had far better advice from a member on her who i wont mention, who is to the point, but without the vitriol, acidic tounge and self righteousness that you seem to posess in greater number than trophys
picture on the first page of this thread is enough to substantiate what i need to prove...as are the pictures of ploughing done at home, on good hearted land whats been looked after well
you cant make a monet out of a hessian sack...as is proved by the pics of everyone elses plots
there wasnt...
No, nor were 75% of the pots in the middle row
opposite me was one lad with a JD, and someone walking behind him pushing the blocked straw out with a spud as he went along....
in the end, he decided his best option was speed and shallowness...to which he did effect some kind of job
There were 3 rows of plots...lower end reserved for the horticultural class
middle for the working class, upper end of the field for the posh men. The middle part of the field had been topped, all the plots had been set at an obtuse angle to the field boundary, leading to quite a bit of...
