Any idiot bricks this year?

Way to many people doing idiot bricks this year, down here anyway everyone is making them, they’ll be cheaper than straw I reckon
I had 7 text’s this morning asking could me and the wife help move idiot bricks We were one of the last farms in the area to move from them, I certainly don’t want to go back to doing any soon

 

[Gator]

Knocked some more down

No need for him to risk the traffic on the M25 or A 303, the A120 would be enough

A bit of pastoral care required today as it was a bit toasty for the picking gang this morning:

To be fair to them, they stuck at it, picking just over a tonne by 12.30. Mostly youngsters too.

What has been a great looking crop all the way through has been partly nobbled by broad bean fly. Riverford will accept up to 20% with fly damage, we’ve been somewhat over that, but they’ve taken them. Fortunately no grubs found or the whole lot would be rejected. Trouble is you can’t see the damage until the pods are opened:
