Today at work

[bigg6480]

Been a while since we have posted anything, so thought I would rejoin the fold with these old articles the boss found a few days ago. Hope all is good with everyone and the world is treating you well View attachment 768516 View attachment 768518 View attachment 768518

I was driving down a dich side this morning and saw one drain ends it made me think I hadn’t see any pictures for a while.

I'm not sure if you call it work but came across these this afternoon, as anyone any idea what made them, they are a good three and half inches long and about the same wide.
They are more or less in a straight line and vary from 26 to 52 inches apart.

Busy day today. No frost to ice road truck the fertiliser on. But it has dried up enough to travel nicely.

Had to stop for a while to load this.

Kids up with me for half term so treated them to so "proper" farm wellies.. within 2 minutes of being on the tractor the youngest has kicked her boots off "because she doesn't need them on" I swear that's an arable farmer in the making right there!

Been a busy few days so a bit of a catch up.

6830 update, Got the pistons in and bottom end bolted up, axle back on. Come to put the head back on and the bolt kit was wrong (premium and standard engines have different head bolts), apparently the kits have been boxed up wrong by Deere’s and now back ordered

Finally got round to hava look at the 7930, turbo variable nozzles are seized so whipped that off and sent it to be repaired.

It’s a big lump.

Dragged the sprayer out of hibernation and flushed the antifreeze out.

Got some overdue mang on some yellow looking winter barley

And cracked on with some P&K

Some of the other fields of barley not looking to bad.

Jackal wheat started growing again as well.

Oh and managed to bake some cake as well (yes before you say it @boyo I also have unprecedented culinary skills )

Mmmm warm chocolate chip brownie and ice cream

Don’t think it would last as long as our 23yr old bunning,

Roll the barley?

It’s been rolled post drilling but to roll it again at this stage would mean I couldn’t have sprayed it, think rolling would knock it a little to much where it’s really suffering as well. Gave it a sniff of N also to help kick it into life.
It’s the same every year though on this field, by the time it’s fit to get on with the sprayer it’s nearly to late!

If you walk in the crop are you leaving boot prints in the soil?If so try rolling
Barley likes a firm bed

We had some barley like that and we rolled it last week. I went over it yesterday with manganese and the rolls have transformed it, it's had mn and NS and will probably get rolled again in a week or two.
Rolls are a very under rated tool and u think People panic too much about using them.

If it’s stays dry long enough it’ll probably get rolled again, it’s not the sort of ground (moss/peat) you can roll unless it’s 100% dry otherwise it will stick in the rollers and pull the plants up! Trouble is we struggle to get 3 dry days together in this part of the world, it’s raining now and had most of the night!

Trust me it will make a mess! We’ve farmed it for a long time.
