Or is he cleaning shite from out of the discs of the 750 ???????

He's made some inspired decisions recently.

Funnily enough (or actually not funnily enough) the latter is painfully close to the truth. Had three drills going at one point and I was driving the 750a. Seed boots kept blocking up and could only go in the middle of the day. Got an embarrassingly small amount done given the effort expended. A lot of swearing. Dreading the stuff coming up. Have a beach holiday booked for New Year and can't wait. Don't expect to have drilled all the fields intended for autumn cropping by then.

How are you faring?

Assuming you're referring to having a sizeable part of the farm in an environmental scheme, yes, by sheer luck and no judgement I picked the perfect year to go down this route.

I’m so glad I’ve got 6 ton of linseed in a trailer so at least I have a crop which can be drilled cheaply rather than being fleeced for a tonnage of spring barley that everyone else is growing , I’m hoping that if it dries out enuff I will be able to put the linseed straight into the ground with the vaddy

Cripes. I do feel for you. I genuinely had a day when unblocking the drill when I thought I'd prefer another job. Almost never happens, but when I accidentally flicked the gearshift shuttle into reverse, didn't catch it in time, and then blocked nearly every coulter on the drill other jobs did like decidedly more appealing.
