Was over getting a bit of HSS spring barley cleaned by a neighbour, he had to move out his combine to get at the seed cleaner/dryer.

Nice sample, a valuable commodity this year.

Nice sample, a valuable commodity this year.

Very nice to have a bit of my own kept, the margins on spring feed barley look poor, expect for the straw.
Talk of £650/ton, and with poor germination rates, talks of 200kg/ha seed rates. The combo makes no financial sense in the current grain prices.

The last of few cattle for this year off to Carnew mart.

The Suckler bred Charolais made €2,200 and the plainer dairy stock made €1,750.
Happy enough.

@SMID
Would you know roughly what year that plough would be? Or the best way to find out?
TIA.

Its a very early one ,the discs are same as a TS82 and so is the link at the rear of the headstock . The leaflet I have which announces the 102 and 103 as being the new ploughs has the pictures "doctored" to make the disc arms look like what was to follow . that leaflet is dated Oct 1972 .The one I have came new in 1974 , at that time they were getting modified with a fillet welded to the box where the bar point locates through ,that reinforced the frog to stop it bending . The 102 would have been the best selling reversible plough in Ayrshire by a mile at that time.
