Dave keeping well?

bit tired....

 

[Flat 10]

New job, strip out shed, 10 bins, elevator conveyor etc, oh and concrete, and Asbestos Side Cladding, and re clad with tin profile. All in time for harvest.

Be done easy in time for harvest speed you move at

Dave keeping well?

I was just wondering the same..... glad to see he’s kept going.

 

[Gerbert]

Quite pleased with myself. I managed to burst a hose from the hitch just as I was on the land. This was after a 3 kilometer drive, would've been a fine mess otherwise. A mate lives just across the road, went home for a replacement hose and some tools and I was going again in half an hour.
Moral of the story, don't skimp on decent hoses if there is a lot hanging on them

Close encounter this morning. Luckily he avoided landing in the wheat after skimming over the spring barley about 6' off the ground.

 

[Pan mixer]

Spring Barley looks fine.

topping the black grass to try again to get ready for go 4 at establishing pollen and nectar mix.

Some of the other headlands have a few nice plants, these were alive with bees - there were hundreds.

 

[Tomtrac]

It's got a name and number today
Fitted bonnet and 1/4 panels it all took a bit of lining up But worth the time and effort for appearance reasons

Spraying before the weather broke

 

[TrewithickFarm]

Went to spray my Forage Rape for flee beetle, got a puncture on the way.

Managed to make it to the field and get the field sprayed before it was undriveable. Got the local tyre guys out. Very good service. Always happens on a bank holiday weekend.

Went and pick my new to me Matbro TR200 from my mates yard this afternoon.
Thanks to @TripleSix for going to look at it for me.

Few electrical jobs to do on her. But breezed the 17 mile drive back from mates yard to the farm.

Put TSP on a bit of pp that has been under sown with grass because a landlord I have on 40 acres ( very nice guy) needs to show he's doing something, but it hasn't rained 3 weeks. Then I had to get a bunch of dry lambs in to do the first wriggilies of the year.

 

[CaliMo]

This is where I work. Almost every day.

Same old sh!t different day

Fence faired better this time but car shed most of it's glass instead. Third victim this year just there.

Spring barley looking well considering the lack of rain

Hi @CaliMo, welcome to the forum, I haven’t seen you post before but you’ve chosen one of the most interesting threads of all on this one.

If it’s a feed store are you in a livestock area or is it mainly horse feed?

Hi @chaffcutter, thanks for the welcome. It is definitely interesting!
Not many horses any more. Sadly, not a whole lot of livestock either. Lots of dogs and cats, some backyard poultry. I do sell a lot of straw for garden mulch.

Sure we had the discussion before about what you could put there to stop the cars entering the field
Must be a constant headache

Soil bund would help but this car has virtually rolled over the top of the hedge and fence. Embankment on roadside gave him lift off Repair this time will be replant two posts and restaple existing wire. It only pinged the staples in reality. Biggest pain is clearing all the triplex glass fragments. Needs the grass cutting and hoovering up or scrape the surface with a 360 to remove. When the fence is next totally demolished i shall set the fence behind a soil embankment to try and mitigate the problem. Yesterday was dry road with perfect vision so no excuse apart from speed.

Will all the glass clean up and fence repair come from the drivers insurance?
