Another afternoon cutting it into the top crust. Patched 4ha out of the 8ha. Hopefully the LL will finally consider this for drainage
Found some random items again, the joys of farming next to the village
Thought I was done patching, then remembered on the way home I had this bit to do. Far to wet to drill ( had to use diff lock on the other field in a few places ) so stirred it with the subby. Hopefully get it drilled tomorrow afternoon

Do you think if you had ploughed/ deep cultivated and combi drilled you would be doing this today !!??View attachment 1175718

Yes, this field would do this on a normal wet winter when ploughing and combi drilling, only difference was you had no warning when you sank and went in a lot deeper.
Its needed draining for years, just can’t get it done
Bit like the bungalow roof, that’s leaked for over 20 years, they even put solar panels on it and didn’t mend it, now the timbers are giving up. The joys of renting
Half of my patch really wants to be wetlands, on winters like 2019 and this year it’s has basically reverted to it.
I’ve done a mix of deep cultivars leaving untouched stubble, both ways have resulted in lakes, just the stubble ones are easier to deal with.
I’m not saying DD is the panacea, I still have doubts about continuing.

Looks like it’s your turn to feed the local corvids now.
I hear it’s good to share.

Decided that some of this field isn't ready for roling yet despite the 'drought'
The next field to the left here is even further off.
Tried out the new grassland subsoiler in a very messed up gateway.

Put a G coupler on the end otherwise you will struggle as that’s a long handled gun

How many bales do you think you'll get off it?
As far as we go, when we're playing at lambing, today was a massive day. 14 lambed, and as it goes this year, full of fun. Our old friend Mr. Stripey had snacked on a new dropped twin in the night. I have a picture but I'll spare you 
Pulled twins after breakfast that were coming on top of each other (both dead), another set of twins with heads back but alive, pulled one coming feet and head together, but an easy fix, and this massive hung lamb. You can't tell from here, but his head is twice what it should be. Amazed he's alive, but he's had plenty of colostrum tubed into him, and his mum loves him, so he'll be supping himself soon
