Today at work

[Lowland1]

Big hammer and stilton's ,,basic tool kit fixes everything

I hadn’t actually noticed that but yes it’s all a bit agricultural you can’t beat having many hands.

Bit of luck though....on way through town I was stopped by a bloke in a range rover....oh no what have I done was my thoughts . He came to the cab asking could he buy some of the bales off me and would I deliver for an in-house factory event tomorrow. Quick negotiations resulted in £40 a bale delivered....cash !
It was closer than going to the shed.

Balled up a few bits in places but nothing major. Fairly good clearance under frame really.

Got the bale trailer into a field off a narrow road then couldn't get back out without catching the gatepost. Must be some trigonometry thing. Luckily the house opposite saw my plight and opened the gate into their drive.
Not every member of the public annoys farmers

Went back tonight, drove straight up to the far verge and hard left and plenty room . No idea what I was up to yesterday but the drink or drugs must have worn off.

Would that be oats for crimping? Looked at some wheat today, proper wheat that would be 28 per cent moisture. Stopped cutting winter barley yesterday at 11.5 per cent moisture, wait for some rain me thinks! Sent off a few loads of this too!

Did some combining yesterday… 13% and doing just over 3t/ac average.

Today I put some straw into rounds…

Straw yielded well, so spent some time taking a few in…

Why stop at 11.5 %? Does it shatter that dry ?
