Today at work

[solo]

Cut the hill today. 2.3t/acre compared to yesterday's 2.4t/acre Bale collection has started opposite.

You can just see where yesterday's fire was in the distance. Combine was back performing earlier today so must have had a close escape.

Hillmaster earnt it's keep today.

Im sure it's on his list to clean it out now before harvest

Im sure it's on his list to clean it out now before harvest

Does it come under the list of RT requirements?

Quite impressed with the re-growth considering we haven’t put any bagged fertilizer on the land this year.

@mtx.jag can I have £10 worth of free advice? Would there be too much grass to spread fym and get a second cut?

I’d avoid it personally,we did it once back in the days of being organic,never again.

Last of the Winter Linseed today.

Didn’t fancy cutting it over the next 3 days heatwave as it would take a lot of cooling.

 

[Adeptandy]

What make if you don’t mind me asking

I’m told they’re a budget line

Had one of our “different“ days here today. We were asked to provide a farm experience day for 6 people for somebody’s 50th birthday.
They planted leeks

Took veg nets off brassicas ahead of the heat

Moved ewes then checked out some of the cattle

We provided lunch and one of my good ladies birthday cakes

Picked out fat lambs

Moved sows

And let the birthday girl drive a tractor

They seemed to enjoy the day. At the end of it I pointed out that it was an authentic farming experience as they’d been busy all day and earned nothing at the end of it!

In amongst yard work monday/Tuesday was cleaning bits of sheds out to make space, Wednesday went to get a couple loads of last year's straw while it's still available, Friday was would on the contractor's rake but a newer 718 with half the hours and working blowers, followed up with a day on whole crop Saturday on another 718 for the contractor

Spotted this rare one while on farm

And I even remembered to rotate the pictures @serf

Another 45 crows in trap this morning then a day of bits n pieces, cutting 6m margines and stewardship plots
