Today at work

[Celt83]

Went back into my spring barley today, after a late start yesterday, but only managed 3 tank fulls before it started to rain.
My wife asked if she could help in any way and so I set her going on the baler, after a quick tutorial, and she chased me around the field and as a result I have no wet straw in the field. View attachment 905191

She's a keeper.

After nearly 23 years I shall have too, it would cost too much to trade her in now.

Thankfully the stone trap did its job today and snagged hold of this

Amazing how stuff keeps appearing, and how much I keep finding, and that’s without ploughing but I guess skimming the ground trying to get thin brackled S Barley off the deck doesn’t help

.......and of course I was combining, so today’s breakdown, thankfully a simple repair and it happened 5 mins before the rain came.

You must have the patience of a saint!!!

A sheep day today, one of two a year with the easycares..... Just wean this lot then. Yes, I know there are one or two old fashioned sheep in there, they won't be going to the tups this year.

One or two were missed during the ringing season so they will be going in a shed with some cake to get them gone.
