Well done for managing to walk far enough from the tractor to take a photo. You must of been abit yellow

it was a bit of a struggle as it was taller than me (6'1") in places but down a tramline so wasn't too tangled together

Hay delivery today.

Have quartered Norfolk over the last few days (busmans holiday) and I thought that the rape in general was looking pretty well, didn’t see many fields with bad areas, unlike quite a few seen on the trip back through the midlands.
There does seem to be a massive amount of spring barley sown though, I wonder how much of this follows a failed OSR crop?

Light land after roots more likely

Push fit failure yet again [emoji57]

Wonderful place to get to [emoji849]

Park homes are not my favourite [emoji51]

......and a couple of flush valves

Also met a fellow TFFer when he came to look at the 4m Freeflow [emoji106]

Apart from that it’s been a doggy day [emoji41]

Baby cattle

She's for sale with calf at foot in a week.

Poorly calf is on the mend, the brown rain is subsiding.

Tyre got fixed.
Cost me a small bale of hay!
Bargain.

Hoovering up round the drier
Fitted an extension to the intake pit
Making up a shadow board for sprayer bits and pieces

Last year we got the opportunity to sell an out farm and buy land next door. So we are now making a lane to join up the two separate lanes on the two pieces of land.

Up the side of a field

Across the top of the field

Then through the fence to the new bit of land and up the side of that field.

The lane will then be bounded off with a new hedge.

You can’t really like that

What made you stop the spuds?

Various reasons really, even with irrigation yields and samples were always disappointing, no shed for storing so had to be sold off the field, growing other things at the time that paid better.

Reason I asked is that potato growing is hard to get into and with the lack of profitable break crops it seems quite tempting from over the hedge....

Know what you mean, have tried linseed, canary seed and field beans recently all were disappointing for one reason or another.
Tempted by sugar beet but when you see acres of it being grown don't think my 25 acres is going to make alot of difference. I just drill a bit more spring barley to fill the ground up as it's just another day on the combine to clear it up.
