Are onions going to be planted in that fine seed bed!!!

See Looking good. Does most of the barley in your area end up as whiskey, or just go for feed barley?

Is the Milwaukee FHIW2F12 a good tool to have if one only wants to have one impact wrench? Please don’t confuse it with the FHIWF12. Many thanks.

With the greatest respect why are you asking the question, “After purchasing the tractor”? :scratchhead:

Think the boss has enough on his plate without adding to his workload .!!!!!

Been using a Kelly Harrow today breaking up maize residue, and then going over a field that has been direct drilled to spring . Kelly Harrow doing a fantastic job. Edit . Forgot to say the as the small discs are rotating at speed there is no bunching of residue as you can see, un like a tined...
