Oh fudge
That is sad to see, I know plenty of the world has wind erosion, but that doesn't make it less bad.
Hope you're having a norwester?

One of my old college lecturers used that phrase 30 years ago to describe folks cultivating in the wrong conditions. Often seen on the clay around here when the lumps dry out and tillage just moves them about
Recreational tillage ?

Must be getting old, I felt old and stiff and sore today, maybe it was pulling 300 ewe pelts yesterday while the fitters repaired a robot
A guy managed to hit the trigger and nearly deglove his thumb, broke the trigger in the process
Two pelting robots per chain, the first pulls the front shoulder flaps outwards and the second pulls it straight down and off.
Bet it hurt
Had a knot in my lat. the size of a plum
Excuses excuses
just soft is the problem!

Never mind Pete. By the time YOU hit 50 you'll have the livestock on virtual fencing and BJ doing the seeding so it can all be done from a cosy armchairFeck....

It will snow here this year, I'm sureGotta love the NZ weather, "4 seasons in 1 day"
Snow later?
It won't be long, as you say, that I will kill the joy of snow days for my kids as my old man did for me
"oh good, I have a nice warm job for ya, since you aren't at school"
However, winter snowfalls was the "crimper roller" for his rudimentary cover cropping, regenerative system, it would flatten the ryecorn properly and begin its journey into greatness...
Dragging over the recent part of the regen thread, our cattle paddock was rocks on rocks in the mid 50's, in 50 years they'd built enough topsoil to pull a plough through 96% of it, only the original rockheaps poked through.
Anyone who tells you that soil building is a thousand year process hasn't stopped cultivating long enough to do their due diligence
Ten inches of compost across 90 acres in 45 years
all through cattle and free inputs, plus hay bought in from other parts of the farm where the fertility allowed.
