Rolling Average Payment I think. Basically there’s a heavy premium on autumn production
Did your milk jump?
how long does maize take to be at its most palatable? never fed any to my cows in my life and taking 800kgs off a neighbour every other day as an experiment for a few weeks.
Had a few kgs leftover in the bucket so tipped it for the dry cows and they pretty well turned there noise up at it, been ensiled 3 weeks and gone trough a shredledge machine. just abit surprised thought they'd be mad for it...

Always been told in an ideal world you shouldnt feed maize in the same year it was cut, but can start feeding on january 1st. Never seen anyone able or willing to do that though.
Apparently maize pretty much will only get better the longer its left (within reason) as long as something else doesnt ruin it - like moisture or oxygen getting to it from a ripped sheet etc
Not yet but fats & proteins are now over 10.5. According to wisdom, maize needs 6 months in the clamp to ensure that all the starch is available but there are new varieties that make their starch available immediately. We will probably try an acreage of those next year and clamp the bulk separately.
Anyway, the real star of the show
Went where the new pussy tractors feared to tread .. was on towing out duties (including the chopper uphill from a hedge at one stage) then put on a trailer because the 6215 was bogging down.
Oldies are best
poor old doitz covered in cow shite
reminds me, on modern tractors why does there need to be cab /side mounted exhausts emissions i guess ?or just vanity, because they sure as heck add unwanted heat , weight and cost....

That is a big trailer for that old girl.
She was only hauling in the field. No air brakes but showing up poncey Fendts and JDs. Hell of an engine these old air cooled Deutz
Would buy another but son & men like their buttons .... and the Adblue that comes with them

reminds me,
Mud not shite. Not allowed to get it on her
back in the day i nearly bought one, had a droopy snoop version on hire for ploughing for a week or 2 , just right for the job it was , cracking tractor, first 6 cylinder id had on the farm, was far better than the likes of ford 7810 sluggish lump,
Droopy bonnet was a bit ugly, its true.

Give me a Deutz over a Fendt any day. I’ve been told that in Germany, Deutz outsell Fendt by more than 2:1!
And Deutz engines in Deutz tractors are very reliable, which in Fendt’s, they certainly are not!
What have you done to rectify the field here baldy? Will you be growing maize again?
Just seen posted on menai Jersey fb page..... near criminal damage, and gives dairy a terrible name. I know it was a wet oct, but that it not maize country
What’s criminal is all that power on that girly little chain [emoji24]
Hope he has to take it for another year and not put maize in it . P45 for that here
