Blooming awful day in Stafford on Saturday, ex airfield, ploughed before (should have known better) - a foot of stubble and full of stone!!! Still, won my class, the overall vintage and overall champion - chuffed, but not worth the agro of ploughing it! Most people couldn't bury the stubble, I just about managed to. A lot of peoples plots looked like someone at been through with a chisel plough....

I don`t like airfields much because they can be plough breakers. Stubble seems particularly strong this year and chopped straw seems to get deeper every year. Never mind, it is the same for everybody and we should be thankful for the opportunity.

I had not a bad day on sunday, bit of live stubble on, and was harder under the top than i thought, made the worced split in my life, plough was at right depth when i set off, but was hard and came out to near the top, only 1 1/2 deep rest of run, so had to come back on 2nd run very shallow to match, learning curve there, never happend before, but there you go
