For all you Archers fans.........

No, I thought they were on the infamous herbal leys

The herbal leys are at Home Farm. Saint Pip managed the stock there last year and bought some of her own to graze there too. She loaned the money she made to Tobes for the gin business so she couldn't buy any this year.

She jibbed out of managing the other cattle there for Adam because she was busy earning money relief milking to pay Tony compensation after infecting his herd with IBR. (I think...) Did Ed Grundy get the job managing the herbal leys this time??

Yes he did. Although how that is going now since Ed fell out with Adam following the taking on of Johnny I don't recall.

Not the ones at Brookfield - they are the suckler herd of Herefords on grass.

The herbal leys are at Home Farm and grazed by bought in stores

Thanks, you two, for putting me right
It's tricky to keep up when I only catch bits when I'm in and out of the truck/tractor all the time

Listened again ( the first time I was on the Edinburgh City Bypass - so not listening over carefully) and Ruth calls Pip , - Pip then says " Are you at the paddocks?" Ruth says " Yes - lets get these COWS in " . Don't think the Herefords are paddock grazed.

So , more skitter from the Archers.

Thanks. Must listen more carefully in future.

Wish I could start a tractor which has run out of diesel as easily as Ed Grundy did on Thursday, just bled the injection pump and it fired up within milliseconds of turning the key.

So we are to infer that Home farm have put a complete novice on hedge-cutting to save a few shillings?

Well, he did say he would stay late to make up for running out of diesel - it must have been very late (and very dark) when he did that bit

I'm still unimpressed by the story line that had Bert and David conjure up a major extension to the parlour , that was so high tech it allowed one person ( ie diminutive cancer survivor Ruth) milk 200 cows by herself in jig time, yet could be installed by two amateurs , and at no discernible capital investment. Then all the extra cows had no impact on sheep numbers , Hereford numbers , potato enterprise, arable acres - and didn't even dissuade David from renting spare acres to the Grundy's .The extra cows were even moved onto an extensive NZ type grazing regime , that still needed the same acreage as before. All this at a time of depressed milk prices - just shows where the rest of us were going wrong.

Never let the facts spoil a good story!

 

[betweenthelines]

I'm watching Dairy Farming to see when the "Parlour update" thread gets started by "Ambridge Gal"

 

[General Disaster]

Pip Archer.....forgotten her wellies when playing in puddles with Toby!!!

 

[David.]

It's been a while coming.

 

[betweenthelines]

Or is it the other guy-the one who was interested in a new ley?

 

[David.]

Well now that Ian is confirmed a Jaffa, I suppose there is something useful that Toby could do, he might even be prepared to break sweat at it.

saves an awful lot of trouble if you keep your knees togeather

 

[Longneck]

Where’s the fun in that!!!

 

[slackjawedyokel]

At least she’s thought out how being a single parent won’t affect her farm work too much

 

[Pan mixer]

Davids' reaction, over the top? or would I have been just the same?

 

[David.]

David's ability to act like an arse never fails him.

 

[An Gof]

It’s Jill’s reaction that I’m waiting for
