Yesterday. Replacing some nutrients taken from the silage fields earlier in week.

New roofs and drier silage this winter seams to have made slurry a lot drier this year Got contractor out with dribble bar expecting 2ft of water to remove but only found 1 load and a fodder beet blocked it instantly

Got someone in spreading fibrophos last few days for the first time. Dustier than I imagined.

Hope some of it at least stays in my fields and doesn't blow away

Down here the Japs and Chinese are called “un dai tri” which is welsh for “one two three” as their always taking photos saying “won too tree”
