Today at work

[Fendt65]

Been here 3 years. Nearly got it tidied up, added this to the other farm in the village off them. Been a tenant with them at various farms for 32 years. Now refurbed 4 houses for little reward/appreciation.

I feel for you I think we will be in the same position in about 18 months doesn’t feel very nice but also think it might actually be a blessing in disguise.

It does have corrosion in it, and is now leg less,
But available if you want it, for scrap price,
It’s Nr Wymondham,

Went that long ago I was looking for something like that

Thanks Terry, but I’m ok for the time being, afraid thoughts are turning more to selling stuff than purchase at the moment

Most of the hay and straw is sold straight off field or into shed then back out. Got a big shed west of Hereford which I've filled up ...emptied and refilled plus sheds on 4 farms which I rent where sheds are all full up. Have about 200 cattle . How many have I made...I've got no idea but I turn nothing away !
Just cleared up 161 silage bales I was asked to remove from field . Had another phone call today about 76 round bales hay which are still in the field but good hay and would I take them away .
Answer is always yes !

Do you have adverts posted all around Herefordshire?!

"HAY AND STRAW REMOVALS - NO FIELD TOO BIG OR SMALL"


Strikes me the farmers of Herefordshire are incredibly wasteful generous. I've never known a farmer give ANYTHING away, let alone 10 or so of them give 50+ bales away each.

Times like this I wish I was a MASSIVE landlord with several farms to rent out. Purely for the standard you look after things, you'd be pretty much top of my list of people to offer one to.

Day 2 of the autumn buffer feeding, the some of cows have learned that they are not all that keen on this haylage and that a nice bit might come out of the machine anytime soon.

Thank you

Your smart dog facilities aren't in danger of being lost I hope?

Yes, they will be dismantled and moved to a new location once we find one. Phase 3 now on hold until we know. The shed will return to a slightly improved shell.

We've not given up as yet, but mentally preparing to go. You could say we currently have our coats on but still haven't left

Well I only did it on one of the last fields of the year and he took it in good humour. Was just trying to slow him down a bit for the buckrake men.
