Today at work

[Neddy flanders]

Finally put some barley in the ground, soil has weathered nicely.View attachment 588446

Father turned in to plough the headlands. View attachment 588448 Clearly he enjoyed himself, as he offered to go and plough the next field.
View attachment 588466Soon caught him up. He said he'd had enough anyway, so he went home to milk while I went back on the plough. View attachment 588454
drilled all that's ploughed, there may be rain aboutView attachment 588462
16 acres in only another 46 to go.

The more pictures of ploughing/combi drilling I see the more I realise how some people will never know what clay is.

First 45 acres of maize was harvested today.
Not a vintage year for us. The crop just didn’t get enough rain at critical times.. a few acres didn’t even germinate until end of June as it was so dry here.

Had this on demo today. My Massey's 7626 sensor in the exhaust packed up on Friday. Thought I'd try the local deutz dealer(used to be MF), gave them a call on Saturday morning and the tractor arrived in the afternoon, on the way back from the local ploughing match! Good service I thought.
Got it till Wednesday. It's got a lot more knobs and buttons than my Massey!View attachment 588006 View attachment 588008 View attachment 588010 View attachment 588014

We had that on demo last week. No stereo, but at least they had got the auto steer sorted.
It's certainly a mean looking beast.

Started off the day on the drill

Then I made a few bales for a customer

One tried to get away
Then back on the drill, but I forgot to take a picture of that.

Had better stop, tractor needs feeding.

I didn't drive it, @Cowmongers did, I don't think he was overly impressed. It only did some rolling. I think the Case will beat it on price, finance and warranty. We're Case already and have a good relationship with Does.

Last field of wheat going in

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Got a thousand lambs in, weighed + checked them for teeth, plenty lambing plenty will lamb plenty have cut their teeth too..

Joys of following after someone half starved them all winter (to the point they were losing not gaining weight...
Have done my best to feed them up
but a serious number won't be prime 48kg lambs before their teeth come
of a day really.
Got a cute lamb picture for the kids

Some pretty scummy crossbreds in the background
Plus side is 11mm of rain, peas are starting to germinate, and pizza for tea.

 

[pine_guy]

Thought when I laid a load of cattle in before the predicted rain, it might not come
