The cheeky b*ggars

[Netherfield]

At the end of last week I was talking to a farmer/ contractor friend, he's share farming a 12acre field close to my house.

The field in question has a footpath on one of the short sides,but as the public do they have a tendency to walk their dogs either across diagonally or round the headlands, now some bright spark has taken it upon themselves to cut a walkway about 3 foot wide all way around the headlands, he thought with a lawnmower or similar, but we heard someone with a strimmer midweek going on for hours..

Sorry but that fencing looks hideous. I am sure it is not immune to vandalism, either.

Falling out with the public in the locality, some of them have a vast capacity for vindictiveness, is not to be recommended.

own up it was you@netherfield.....all this outpouring of 'shock' is just a subtle part of a plan to throw your friend off the scent

IN FACT....i accuse @Netherfield .....in the 12acre......with a hayter harrier

Hayerette is better for field use

Have you ever visited Wild West Yorkshire. It's not public relations it's crowd control.

Always thought that a front mounted folding 4 metre buckrake would do a good job

From my kitchen window I can see the first police station to be abandoned during the 1984 miner's strike... I also supplied the local soup kitchen with milk during that strike but the whole area is still a long way from recovery .......

Front flail mower and forage wagon.

I've rented my bit at Hudds out and tenant is making himself popular. (as agreed )

I kid you not but we have done something similar, but with stock fence and 1 strand of barb.

The locals moaned for about three months but that soon quietened down. We also notified the local council in advance.

The field in question just was not safe for stock before hand.

Think you'll find it was an Allen Scythe he used

No worse than this

A previous tenant fenced a bit off for catching sheep. This tenant grazes it.

We have just been asked to tender for a 3yr FBT on an 18ac field very close to us. It has a footpath on two sides. The problem is the previous tenant had a 12m stewardship strip all the way round it. The fudging local dog walkers are all over it

The only way we could consider taking it would be to do what you have done with stock net and barbed wire.

Can't make my mind up if it's worth the hassle or not

It would be very tempting to get a trailer load of pig or turkey sh1t to the field and "spread" it out bordering the path with a bucket on a telescopic. Just the width of the bucket and a few inches thick, no fencing needed and would only be stepped in once

Biosolids going on next spring.
Field needs P and K.

I delivered something to a very friendly chap near Wakefield (he had a big old Massey for every machine he owned!).

The place was like Fort Knox It's such a shame that such measures are necessary.

These folk have no conscience mind. You will think you are being clever putting biosolids on, or poultry muck- sounds like a larf.

But when barns mysteriously go up, your combine has it's windows smashed or someone goes cutting all your fences and leaves the wire in pieces for the baler to find it isn't so funny. I've heard many a tale and few of them end very nicely for the farmer.

Better to attempt to get a few of them on side, explain the situation and allow them to 'police' themselves, you have nothing to lose. If you start off on a war footing don't be surprised when a war is what you have.


Years ago I was working for a chap and we had been cutting a huge maize field that was encompassed on two sides by housing. It was getting dark and we had to stop. We had been carting the maize out through the gate and actually through a part of the estate using 'their' road. (thankfully we left no mud).

The farmer was a switched on guy and instead of hiding the chopper in the corner (which we assumed he would do to avoid vandalism), he actually knocked on one blokes front door, had a brief chat with him and then left the chopper slap bang on what was basically his front drive!?

Turns out the farmer knew the bloke, whose little kid was fixated with the machine and had ridden in the cab a few times over the years. Net result was he had been leaving the chopper on the guys garden bit for a fair while and no one had ever laid a finger on it.

You had to hand it to him for ingenuity.
