Today at work

[GeorgeK]

Just winter beans left but heavy land too sticky on top to drill and won't get any drier now. When the going gets tough, go old skool! Many a good crop of beans has been broadcast and ploughed in

The fun just never stops. Ridging potatoes, Harvesting potatoes and weeding broccoli amongst other things.

Finally, dry weather for a week so I mowed 4th cut, and a little bit of crap for someone else as per photo.

Ran into a contractor that was out with 2 triple combinations.

And today picking the grass up.

Lovely wagon

What are you doing?

 

[Beames]

Pleased with how this 4 month old Angus heifer is turning out. Photo’s don’t do her justice.

 

[Jerry]

Perfect conditions for wheat.

must be nice to have ground like that. I put my drill on yesterday but the ground is only dry on top so if I just knock the top I don't get rid of the wheel marks and the drill can't penetrate and if I drop it in it just stirs up a whole lot of carp and it won't drill but I don't have wide tyres or duals to help with this problem.

Starting to think spring barley now.[/QUOTE]

It’s nice ground till I get a summer like this year and everything burns to a crisp.

Exactly. Everyone moans about pictures of drills going on light land. Wait till it doesn't rain for 3 weeks in May and I'm sure they'd rather be on there heavy stuff.

 

[Jerry]

Second drill going well too....

I wish! Tractor has barely enough power for 2! Only one here because front is missing swath boards. Should have taken conditioner off really, but it cut it at 1/2 pto speed without shredding the crop so drove on.

The powerharrow looks to be nosed towards, if it was level would it do a better job?

Are you going to bale it? Any time I've seen rape baled it's turned to dung

 

[Pan mixer]

More digging and some filling in.

Yeah baling tomorrow. Not done it before but it'll be fed as part of mix fairly quickly. My guess is it'll be a stinky slimy mess but cows will love it. Did plan to graze it but it's a wet ish off field with no water so can't be bothered to carry bales and water and move a fence... and the forecast looks wet!
