Collected the new to us Beet drill today ,ridged 12 row Monosem not the most desirable drill out there but the right money in very good condition. We have never grown beet before so we have some serious learning to do do but I have some very knowledgeable friends. Big combi back on the RX today drilled a couple of ex cabbage fields that were underwater a month ago and an ex Beet field that we ploughed for a neighbour in December in appalling conditions, surprised by how much frost mould there is it’s a bit lumpy behind the tracks but going reasonably well . The last 2 pics are the same field .

5 hours contract flail mowing to tidy up 3 years of feggy grass for a land owner who really needs someone like @Hfd Cattle to mow it for hay once a year. Having bought it for control the owner doesn't know what to do with it. Fencing it would be a good start. View attachment 1162036
Looking at my map, Herefordshire is not that far away, I am sure that it is because @Hfd Cattle just hasn't got around to it yet.

Bottom half smooth top half rough
10 acres is ok. The top 2 would be better grazed. Another contractor chain harrowed it last year but didn’t mow it as agreed.They are supposed to be coming back to finish some fencing, but I don’t think they will. The materials are there and they are good payers. 🤷‍♂️ I‘ve given contact details for someone else to try. Seems a waste of energy paying me to mulch it.:unsure: That’s the second time I’ve done it now. The positive side is it gives me chance to demolish the rabbit habitat next to my field.:)
