@Durry cows

What are you drilling with? I assume it can cope with the trash?

Only Combi drills over here and Mostly Suffolk coulter's cause the disks rise to many stones.

Broadcast forage rape?

About to do 100 acres. Worked well in the past. Unfortunately some areas of maize are that flat we just cant get it. Dont know what to do. To low to top. Think we might just have to leave it the winter.
Anybody any ideas. Certainly not ploughable.

Spoke to my contractor today and he has 20 acres of maize to harvest that was flattened by the wind last week. Only done about 6 loads in 6 hours,was extremely frustrated and thought about using his wholecrop header.Whatwould others do?

 

[The Agrarian]

Yep. I've seen maize cut with wholecrop header

Oh. Sorry. Rape never occurs to me. Not a crop we could utilise here.

Some tidy cows there and they really are exceptionally clean.

These pics are much better than silage pics.
I have to say that is one thing I miss with the robot- I rarely get to see a nice full udder with milk dripping onto the parlour floor.

I like the third calver. She'd give you some squeeze in a tight passage.

You mean like these kinds of pics?
