Today at work

And then you get the likes of that bloke who came on here looking for some 'alone time' in a slurry pit! (And willing to pay!)

Couldn't get my insurance to cover that or he could have come here.

I had a hermit last year, wanted alone time in a wood.

First load of the year - you can tell with the residual hay from the baler.

I had a hermit last year, wanted alone time in a wood.

Years ago someone I know used to have a tramp woman hang around a very remote bit of ground he used to rent for grazing.
Rather than discourage her, he gave her access to a derelict but weathertight building there, used to take her some bits and bobs to help her out, and in return she fed the farm cats and was meant to use the phone there to call him if anything looked untoward.
Thirty years ago seems like a different world now! I was down that way this morning, and the grazing is all SSSI designated now, with all it's restrictions, and the really unimproved marsh over the road (which I think was a SSSI decades ago) is all developed into a massive business park serving the new port!
(This probably should be in a different thread for misty eyed reminiscing rather than here, especially as I didn't take a picture!)

Be worse if they wanted to pay extra for "special alone time" with @teslacoils fluffy calves.....

 

[Gator]

It'll probably rain now ? ?

 

[Adeptandy]

That’s not looking hopeful for the coming season ?

 

[v8willy]

Those poles in the field look a real pain, hope the wayleave payment recognises the inconvenience.

Better field yesterday, 3 1/2 acres & 2 set of big ones.

Not mine a friend of mine getting land ready to plant tea tree. However it looks like the John Deere could roll over the Massey anytime.

 

[Gator]

Looked over some drainage maps

Got the stubble rake ready to go

Bit of crop walking this afternoon amongst moody skies

Even your office desks tidier than mine!

I have a stubble rake just like that, I thought that you just got it out of the bushes and it is ready to go - is there something I am not doing?

 

[Robert K]

Grease it
Check the ram pin bolts we've had one shear in the past
Wash it if needs be

They do a good job in the right conditions

Stacked another few bales and then went to play with the mower. A little annoyed that the rain amounted to less than half a mm.

 

[j6891]

Happy to get my hay baled finally and undercover. That's it for another year

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Sowing a mix of wheat and oats for sheep feed for a neighbor. Hes hoping for some spring feed from it.

 

[Hfd Cattle]

Back at it with the mower hoping to get 60 acres down today
