[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 6545840, member: 416"] No, it’s not. I did try and explain briefly, let me give you more details. This one lorry load of Fibrophos was ordered to go onto land to be drilled with OSR. Nearly all the land was to be direct drilled into wheat stubble except for the one field you see here. For whatever reason that was cultivated. I called the customer to see what he thought about doing the job before we left the last job. He thought it was a bit windy but, as we were virtually passing his gate on the way home, he said come and give it a go. We got there and it was too strong a breeze by then so decided we would give up. He then remembered the cultivated field and the forecast rain so we decided to just put a bit in the spreader and get that bit done. Maybe 4 tonnes was spread that evening. Is that ok with you? Sorry, but I didn’t think to ask your opinion on the day. As for a “terrible advert for farming “, I should think maybe 5 people would have been able to see what was going on and three of those were us in the field. There are just odd occasions when we need to push on in less than perfect conditions. On those odd occasions it’s good that we have some like minded and go-ahead customers to help us out. I’ve no idea who you are [USER=485]@Fuzzy[/USER] or where you Farm, but if you’re the kind of customer who likes every single thing done just your way then don’t call me, there’s a good chap. Life just isn’t that perfect in the world of bulk spreading. [/QUOTE]
