Drilled up today. Forecast ass for Saturday and Sunday. Wasn't overly pretty but done and will grow.

Went on a stag there about ten years plus ago. Had a mate who was obsessed with the show at the time so he booked us into that hotel(flamingo or oasis? Something like that) was a cracking weekend
All what I grow is for feed. But a lot goes for malting.

Is it easy when you have to get out and pick a stone every 100 yards?All looks easy working soil north of the border
Just keeps you fit and stops you falling asleep, how much top soil have you got?

I spent much of spring '85 doing that with a buckrake on the back of an MF 35 at Granton on Spey

Lucky yesterday as we avoided all the heavy rain/hail/sleet showers, and were able to make a bit of progress on the more challenging parts of the farm.
20 acres of oats in yesterday.

That looks like some really tricky soil!
Are onions going to be planted in that fine seed bed!!!

your soil looks relatively stone free? someone still ploughing in the distance?Rain through the night and sleety showers this morning but got a start mid afternoon, laurette for malting () , still raw and colder than we'd like really. View attachment 1178346

empty the bucket more often and just use the loader?

Stone free ... I wish , that's just one of the better bits, yeah still plenty ploughing to do round here, grounds drying slowly, a lot of heavier ground that's been ploughed a while looks dry ontop but is absolute mush underneath .
And pick up half a tonne of soil in the process?
Frustratingly slow to dry out here. Looking at a field now that I am desperate to put some barley into but I am going to have to be patient. Drains have been an issue too. One field has had a bog appear. Cannot plough until sorted.
