Silage.

No point aiming to combine much around here... not quite that keen/daft
May as well feed it to stock.

It looked ok. Both peas and canola grains were small, but I suspect that’s more a symptom of the season than anything else. Canola has been left a bit long and had started to shed unfortunately, as I said probably should’ve been cut a week/10 days ago or more.

I was hoping to hop on the header for a bit but I got the impression Ben had had a troublesome start and he looked grumpy so I didn’t push it![emoji6] We’ll hear all about it in due course I’m sure.

What seed rate for peas and rape?

Even without rain, the air is still damp, as we are getting quite a bit of air from the sea. "Low cloud with holes", today

I often think the dew must be a fair substitute for precipitation, so long as you have the cover to catch it (and keep the soil cool so it doesn't burn off).

Looks fantastic that, friends, is why NZ is home to so many tine direct drills

Probably also why so many persist with their 'shitty old permanent pasture',,

all the best under sowing i did was with a disc drill.
the duncun triple disc was a good drill

Nice, they want 6% here, I think.

I put a couple in to test the water, as they are close to going over the magic mark.
Sorted a few more for next timeView attachment 747100

My "few" is actually few.

they might be few ,but they look yummy

Good lambs this year.
Pretty happy with the pere/texel rams, did the job, big solid lambs that seem to grow like stink (and nothing to pull or cut out!)

They weren't out there to look at the grass, anyway: 207% counting the wet-dries, 224% if we forget them.

Excellent drills, I have the use of one and it is a great machine, especially if the ground isn't too hard on top.

So would you pommies like to buy a used PM.looks like you might be in the market for one

Think that's a bit unfair
But notice the trend in Commonwealth countries to have PM's with the letter "J", like Justin, Jacindar and...... Jeremy

It's been a bad year for funerals here, I hope I'm not getting dangerous to know!

The most recent was this Monday for an old farming neighbour:

RIP David. A true gentleman.

That's number 7 this year (ages from 52 to 96) and 3 missed

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

I think 96 was a fair effort

Some kinda club?

Do you class yourself as a coffin dodger now @holwellcourtfarm?

Yes, for the next 30 or so years hopefully

I'd be happy to carry one, just not to road test it prematurely.

Seriously, I do see attending the funeral of an old friend or work colleague as the final true mark of respect paid and will always try my best to attend.

is this "The Trolling Network" now ??

It has to be done

I hope to pull a good crowd, one day..

The remains of the Empire , a group of countries that supported (previously called "Great") Britain over the last 150 year and a couple of world wars.
Maybe with the Brexit sudden exit, their business acumen and financial wizardry, trade between Commonwealth countries might mean something.

“might mean something... once again.”

Some would argue Britain turned its back on the Commonwealth when it signed up to the EEC/EU, now it might have a bit of kissing and making up to do?!

I wonder how the prospect of trade with Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and all their unfair advantages, will be received in TFF land?!?!?!

But, since when did this become yet another f**king Brexit thread?

It rained here today...

For 20 minutes!
