Stripy Field Syndrome

....I've tried so hard to resist.... But I'm going to have to unleash the harrows and the roller. My place looks like some sort of minimalist desert surrounded by green pinstripes. Seriously, Sunday morning Devon looked like it had a stripy waistcoat on, by sunset it was the full 3 piece. Is it just me or do all the theories and pisstakes about recreational diesel burning go straight out the window when you're literally the only one who hasn't bothered? :facepalm::facepalm:

You are seriously sad if you have to stripe the headland too.

Like me then......

There's a certain satisfaction in a nicely rolled field and it does do good, closes up the top to reduce evaporation, encourages the grass to tiller and most important of all knocks in the stones so the contractor doesn't blow up his mower or chopper.

TBF, it's a useful tool in the employer's armoury when the land is dry, other jobs can wait for the wet forecast and the young man you have kindly taken on placement from the local college has his hands in his pockets............
