    Spring bean's....

    Yep I drilled late April two years ago, best crop I’ve ever seen, but then those two days at 40c made the stems snap over about halfway up! Cut them at 2am that year and they yielded 2t+/ac, can only imagine what they would have done if we hadn’t had that two day heatwave!!

    Dairy farming wellies

    I’ve had many pairs of Muckboots, don’t think they’re made as well as they used to be though. So comfortable and warm plus the top of them isn’t flared so you get less straw etc in them. Trouble is I’ve “hard heels” and wear the back lining out in 6 months ish and then they can rub a bit. They...
