Glad to hear it's going well. Was thinking we hadn't seen any diagrams for a whileIt's going good thanks. A couple of weeks left in the first course, should go and pick the second one soon. Maybe it won't have so much equipment in it
Heather moors like we have on the higher hills here are almost exclusively found in Britain and are only there because of being burnt every 4-5 years or so. The heather, wildlife and sheep, thrive under this management and it quickly turns to scrub if it isn't burnt often enough. Which is happening at an alarming rate now the environmental groups have got their way. They are slowly realising the error of their ways though and are encouraging burning again in some places.

Burning excess fuel to land?
You know when @Farmer Roy said it wasn’t easy.
Wife has a dislocated knee now as well as her back issues.
And I have a new clothes horse to dry the washing now.
So now wife even more laid up,three kids who can create a whirlwind of destruction in 10 mins,all household chores and a full time farm to run.
All good fun......

That’s the thing,we have really great kids who put me in a shadow by what they have already achieved being 9,11 and 13.
It’s tough but some folk have it far worse.

My first thought was of the plough buried at the entrance to Groundswell by @martian so perhaps it is a monument to past unnecessary machinery

But I wouldn't say so in @FonterraFarmer's earshot.

Stubble burning , thats very eighties does this guy rent this land of a bank ? Cant see any ordainary landowner allowing it nowadays . Not been allowed an opinion never stopped you before so lets hear it !!!!! Maybe he will pull in with a big plough next to really pish you off!!! Only joking pete!
Farmer of the year having a burnup
Just as well I'm not allowed an opinion eh.

Nah, not quite owned by a bank but very close, they are backed by the big PGW machine. I don't think the landowner was overly chuffed all the same, he's counting down the minutes till the lease runs out and he can get his land back in grass...
... and redeem himself to the locals re. the water pollution, none of whom are very chuffed about the way it's been handled.

It's common practice where I farm.....And if it's a return to the 80's bring it on. We made a s**t load more coin back then compared to now. @Farmer Roy ......another victim of the drought..at a local landholders water meeting last night and we were told by the chair that equity in permanent water for us is only 1/3 of what owners thought it may be. Last year permanent water was valued at 2500 / meg. A lot of people had revaluations done , raising there equity......it has now slipped to 1700 a meg.....but the chair said he had spoken to several banks and they are only valuing our water at 600 a meg due to us having no allocation.. ..That's only 100 more than what temporary water is trading for
. So a lot of people could find themselves in a whole world of s**t....
