Today at work

[Two Tone]

Without trying to sound critical why do you not throw your soil uphill on those slopes? Surely in time it will all end up at the bottom of the hill?

Very good question with hopefully a very good reason for the answer.

Usually we do so maybe 2 out of 3 times. Depends on the crop, the year, the moisture content of the soil and how well we want to plough it for a better Blackgrass control.

For this harvest just gone it was a seed crop of Skyscraper. On paper it looked a wonderful tall, competitive variety that should have given Blackgrass a run for its money.

However it doesn’t get tall or competitive until the Spring, which allowed too much Blackgrass to become a problem, especially as it was ploughed up hill last year, which means the plough cannot bury the seed so well.

So we are ploughing it downhill this year as a “re-boot” scenario.

Twigged eventually. He got bored before I did.

Patience is a virtue.

Does that spreader give much trouble? thought about buying one if a came across one

Not much really, don't do a great amount but is better than a rotor spreader for what we do.
Basic design so easily looked after, got chain and joiners from Kramp and other parts from local bearing place.

My favourite cow posing this morning for a photo. If the whole herd looked like her I’d be a happy man

 

[Pan mixer]

Got some steers in to try and save some of our vanishing grass for the girls and their children.

Had the police come and harvest some crop that someone unknown had been growing next to one of my fields.

more than one plot hidden away, landlord organised the boys in blue.

Been a busy week or so!

Getting there slowly with the kit

Highly recommend the volvo s90. The auto steer and a five cruise gets some getting used to at 70 mph but cool when you get used to it

What was the yield and moisture with that crop.

 

[sticky]

I got my Longtown lambs in because 2 were struck (I thought you boys up there were supposed to dip them not just colour). Then I've been catching up on some bales after my hols.
