Today at work

[Muddyroads]

Picked another tonne of beans this morning, then went on to plant a couple of acres of romanesco and calabrese.
It would appear that we are ticking a number of diversity boxes at the moment!

I know they’re not always popular when they land, but another bit of diversification this evening:

Bale carting today , and found a racing pigeon on a bale .
do double tagged pigeons make them traceable and RT farm assured ?

@spin cycle

poor thing.....those tags will not identify the pigeon.....the green ring on the leg is an electronic race tag....like a rfid.....when the bird passes over a scanner pad at the loft it'll record the time and identity but only to owner and race officials.....the yellow rubber band is also used for race timing.....it is removed back at the loft and placed in a special clock that will strike the time of arrival....later the rubber is removed and checked against a race entry sheet.....the band has a 4 digit number on the inside and 3 digit on out side


a racing pigeons 'life ring' is aluminium and individually coded

I thought the oil industry was doing ok at the moment….so how your wife managed to recruit a sheik I have no idea!!

P.S were those rows supposed to be straight?!

I’m leaving @slim shiny to use his toys to demonstrate straight. A few curves in the rows keep me awake while I’m hoeing!
I guess the sheikh is looking at his options once oil is banned.

I’ll say now I couldn’t drive as straight as you have….so can’t exactly pull your leg too much!

Perhaps he might like to have a day with the cows…..it seems milk sheiks are all the rage nowadays!

I’ll blame the heat. If it can warp train lines…..

Tedding hay today ready for baling tomorrow

Just wait untill your kid gets asked what comes after 30.

I am getting the hang of this.

Back on the Tedder and need some advice as to why it’s leaving it looking like it’s rows.. perhaps one of the experts like @Hfd Cattle can advise....

A lot of Tedders leave it in row when it’s nearly fit, my class does the same.

Thanks, we make hay extremely rarely and I was convinced I had it set wrong
