Still waiting to get mine sadly.
The drawback of contractors has struck.
Grass will be spot on next week, the forecast less so.

Keeps changing, I looked this morning and had rain every day.
Just checked again and it's only wet Sun/Mon.

Gonna be one of those mow and cross your fingers jobs I think

Big machines but there's an awful lot of time wasted driving around the yard. I wouldn't be able to get away with that on the pit today.

We're in the same boat. Too far down the list but we did manage to get 5 paddocks baled.

I should hopefully be near the top of the list at least.
Spoke to him at the beginning of the week and he reckoned there was a chance of being caught up by Monday.
Chewing through some monster crops by all accounts. The chaps who have sheep on late have got caught out a bit I think.

8' walls plus a bit more.

Two week regrowth in the foreground. That's more like it.

Second cut finished @The Agrarian ?

Done thank the Lord. Do you sell greedy boards for silos?

We'll take your money.....er I mean provide a solution for most problems you can come up with!!
Bolt some posts to the top of the wall and drop in some 4' high panels- trouble is you'd end up going the same height above the panels

"Much got,much needed!"

 

[The Agrarian]

That would take a lot of backfill for 16' wall!

Let's do it.

 

[I thats it]

Nearly there!

Second cut vs. First cut. On the same day.
Really odd on the second cut, it seems to be heavy stuff, but I get only small rows with the rake.

Is that a 6910?

So second part one which began 2 weeks ago tonight was coming in at about 4.75t/acre. Part two, 10 days later, was at least 6t/acre. At 25%dm thats 8t/dm/ha taken off for the year so far. Does that sound sensible to you plate meterers?

You're beating me. Upto last Tuesday I'd grown 6.5t DM /ha
