All things Dairy

[In the pit]

Forest were miles ahead of any team I saw visit Swansea this season. Word of warning though, if Huddersfield nullify Spence and Johnson then things could get interesting.

Very worried Huddersfield scored 1 goal against us and we tore them to bits but couldnt score
Fa cup game against them scored 2 quick goals and then defended all game to win 2-1
Forest team looked very tired tues night

Last night was easily the best of the play offs so far. Given half a chance, the final should be belting! Easy for me to say that as I'm a neutral!

Genus own one. All genus, so if anything doesn't talk to anything, I've only 1 phone call.

And they can't blame someone else for it not working!

Did the same when robots installed.
Company did robots and tank. Can't be the other company’s fault!

I started on the one end of the barrier putting a couch bolt half way in with out a washer, then the next barrier just slid over the head of the bolt, fasten the opposite end with a bolt half screwed in, and then tool out original bolt while holding barrier and replaced it with one with a larger washer. Worked my way up the line. I find working on my own you manage to overcome problem solving, but did ask myself a couple of times why I hadn't got the grant funding to buy one off the shelf toted up what materials iv used plus crush recon it's a £3k job excluding my time.

Ryegrass starting to head now but still looks pretty good
Clover looks well but still isn’t putting any nitrogen in the soil (nodules still small and white)
Still on 20 day round growth at 70 but heat and rain might have to speed rotation up and silage will be off in next day or two

Sorry another one of my stupid questions, for those who use contractors is it normal to have to go around wherever they have been working and close all the gates and put electric fences back up etc once they have finished?
It's hardly the end of the world but is slightly annoying

Yes they want to get done and gone

They will do it, but at £45/hour we open and shut and get them gone ASAP

I had one bale up some electric fencing wire, the poly stuff. He said he was colour blind and couldn't see it. I did point out that the posts it was on were a bit more obvious....

You'd only be upset if they put it back wrong and something gets out

 

[Jdunn55]

Thanks all, wanted to check before I said anything to them, I'll keep quiet and add it to my list of reasons to not use contractors

 

[Rossymons]

It's not the contractors fault you've got fences everywhere

 

[Spudley]

I seem to spend half my day closing gates left open by other people.

 

[Jdunn55]

No and that's fair enough, I'll know for next time regardless. I should also add its not my slurry man who does nothing short of a brilliant job, it's a different team who have caused me a few problems this year (have used about 5 lots this year for various jobs). I'll say nothing more than that and lesson learned for next time, just wanted to know if it's standard for them.

Open it all up ready for them, go & put it back how you want after they’ve finished. Its a good excuse to have a look at everything. The first one in a field probably isn’t the last one out. How is he supposed to know if the gate was open or shut?

You'd be lucky to have any post to hang to gates on with some of the twin light twits

That's what I'll do in future, just I've always been taught that if you open something you close it, if you break something you fix it, if Unplug something you plug it back in, if you turn something off you turn it back on, if you make a mess you clean it up etc
