I've never seen any of our ploughs shine like that, and we are on red sandstone soils.

To be fair its close to South Petherton on Yeovil sands , some of the finest (literally) ground I've had the pleasure to work

Funny old thing it can be as difficult to manage as our heavier ground!

I’ve never been able to get a mirror finish on our boards like that on our Sandy loam soils. They’re always a dull Matt finish when when ‘shined up’
