Today at work

[YorkshireAndrew]

Helping a mate out with his egg delivery round again today while he’s on holiday .

Around ten different types of egg makes for an interesting day . [emoji85] This was one of the less inviting shops on today’s round . [emoji51]

Believe it or not there is a little moisture there. Hoping this rain materialises.

 

[Buzzy]

Your pipe makes me laugh every time

Why thank you.......I went for the intellectual look and failed

 

[Zippy768]

Too foggy this morning to go drilling (actually true)
Caught up with a bit of rolling with the only tractor available until the fog burnt off

Decided to go lift a bit off fodder beet as cows starting to get a bit hungry supprised how well they are yielding

 

[Gerbert]

Is that a Riecam?

 

[Bob lincs]

Started drilling today , very dry so hoping for a soak tomorrow .

 

[Pan mixer]

First lot in to give some of the others a few more acres of autumn grass.

Grafton undressed first wheat now emerged. I shall have to wait a while longer to see if the summer heatwave and cultivations have reduced the nematodes.

Drilled some more.

Put the old workhorse on the sprayer for the autumn whilst the mainline tractors are busy on other jobs = cheap self proppelled sprayer. Dad (in the distance) drilled a couple of fields of wheat, then jumped on the rolls. I spent the day on the sprayer, trying to catch up with the rolls but never quite made it. Anyway, all cereals sown this week have been rolled and pre-em sprayed. Now ready for the 12mm of rain forecast overnight/tomorrow.

Admired how the professionals lay concrete

That’s becoming old school as a method now.

Pretty much spent yesterday/today down various drin holes, so nothing exciting

This was interesting, about 6’ of pipes where missing just to the right of the pic and the lateral was coming in pointing the wrong way! No wonder it was boiling up over winter!

This wasn’t helping with flow either.

It’s never good when water starts coming back at you

I'm surprised your contractors are using such an expensive machine to lay an outdoor pad of concrete. I do know these machines are used in large warehouses where robot forklifts collect pallets from 30ft high stillages and the foor has to be VERY flat.

Did a bit of this.

Very dry so got the modern rolling operations going....

Too much power and traction equals disaster
(Or maybe just old and decrepit )

And bloody hell we started drilling

Ah alright, I did have a slight idea it would be little bit more modern. Nice though!

What do you think it might be yielding?

Would incorporating mustard fb a spring crop not decrease the nematodes a bit?

Been busy down by the sea.

Just another couple of fields to spray then the tractor can go and get some new cab mounts.
