Tipping sludge on a slope? Given the rain we have had I wouldn't be doing that around here as I've seen the stuff spread itself before!!

Magic lime prills. Don't tell Pete. Bit too windy. Bad farming practice. Don't tell Lord Clive and his followers.

Wet spots everywhere. Won't be drilling this field for a while...

 

[Gedd]

Be busy with these for the next couple of weeks

 

[TripleSix]

Decided to resurface our road.

With potatoes.
Bad idea.
They're really slippery.

Sunny day here with a good drying wind

Reseeding 40ac using my personal Deutz to heavy roll ...

But that was yesterday
Today I am annoying the missus by slobbing in the house and getting in the way

Turned out anything freshening to calve this one early.

Ah, but it's proper soil that's been looked after by centuries of ploughing and power harrowing, not had it's structure ruined by no till......

A bit of fertiliser spreading on the lightest fields, avoiding the flooded bits.
