Today at work

[sticky]

Did a bit of mowing and then I've been kicking all that's on the floor about in an attempt to have it baled and wrapped by tomorrow night. It has been a great drying day here.

Turning hay today down by the sea, I want to wrap it but customer wants it left for small bale hay! Minehead in the background

With the green on the posts and the general patina it looks like it has been there years already

Bit more mowing.

If the humidity was to drop this festolium which has been cut 7 days now will be ready to bale - by next Saturday.

Probably after this bit of late shut up land, cut today as we will need the aftermath for the cows.

Eldest boy 14 done two pallets wrap today
Think I might get a fuxk off if I ask him to go up the hills now to do 200 rounds

Even I managed a bit of mowing yesterday. Nice to be out the workshop using something instead of mending it

Not quiet farming but somewhat Ag related

Long weekend last week, after 22 years service the wheels atop of number 2 pit were changed.
As a few of you know I left Agriculture 4 years ago to go back down the pit, so help produce the potash for Europe !!

Week of nights next week then 3 weeks off annual pit shut down so coming over to Blighty for a visit

Lesson learnt, helped a mate out and let him have a field for Sugar Beet, late lifted and Spring Patriot then Vaddy drilled, now it’s taken its toll on the Spring Barley ( drilled same day on the left )

This half of the fields after W Wheat and was Vaddy’d into the lightly disc’d in the Autumn stubble.
Sprayed with Fungicide Saturday

Pit stop, not quite F1 speed, but was happy swapping all 4 in 40 mins

Then played with the new toy

Hopefully the gamble pays off, it was cheap enough, just hoping it’s not to cheap and made of Lithuanian cheese

Cotton in the accumulator, after being through the gin & before it goes into the baling chamber

Great photos and very interesting How any years will a cotton plant produce cotton for . Does cotton require much fertiliser and fungicides
Also how do you plant a cotton plants
Sorry for so many questions

Bit of haymaking today before any rain. This was only cut on Thursday so has made well.

First bit of haylage baled up this morning before the rain

Just under 600ac in the clamp in 3 very long days

Cut 26 acres Friday, left untouched and baled and wrapped today.
Finished just as it started to rain.
Needed 2 wrappers to get it done in time.

Spent the day with a knapsack spraying off various nasty weeds with glyphosate.

Saw this.

A Cinnabar moth which lays eggs on ragwort, a coincedence really as that was what I was looking for too.

Although I sprayed hundreds I will have missed more which she can lay her eggs on and welcome.

2 wrappers and 1 baler? Did someone sleep in this morning? In the pre Fusion days we ran 2 balers and 1 wrapper.
