Stock checking scooter on the road after UK road registering. When my mate is back from his charity ride from Lands End to John O'Groats he'll make a back stainless steel tray for the dog but the front basket is big enough for waterproof leggings, feed bag, tagging pliers and a halter

@Hfd Cattle doesn't actually have a farm, he just drives around Herefordshire taking pictures of other farmers at work. A trick he learnt of @Pan mixer.

Only joking guys-you're an example to us all

Thank heavens for good neighbours. That’s a very weedy harvest done for this year.

no 2 son works off farm , plant mechanic, hates it . he would rather be here on less money cant really afford him but it would help me wind down , his forsight in servicing and stitch in time saves 9 would be invaluable , his capabilities never seem to amaze me. the trouble is he would want to spend 4 or 5 days a week in cattle mkts!

Very sad day for me today, very last field of wheat to be combined on this farm having sold the land and not by me, having combined it man and boy so I gave the privilege, to my son so he can tell his kids and hopefully grandkids, that he was the last family member to cut wheat on that land .View attachment 983582

Was it a tenancy?
