Today at work

[Muddyroads]

What are you going to do with the bales? I tried using rushes for bedding but it didn't take up any moisture, useless. I you have a big enough freestall and there is some grass in it things might be different I suppose.

I’ve used it for bedding for several years, get on well with it. There’s a fair bit of grass amongst it in places and the cattle seem to like picking through it. Needs composting well though.

@Brisel must be feeling much better if you are making progress @CPF

Best of luck for a good day tomorrow

I’m fine, thanks for asking! Combine broken down but repairs underway.

Very glad I don’t grow linseed in anything other than cover crop mixtures. Yours and my good will are directed at @Two Tone though…

Sounds like you’re having a frustrating time of it too. Is it major?

Not much worse than a combine being broken down, during a rare dry spell, in a dodgy season, approaching a bank holiday weekend!

 

[Brisel]

Nothing that can’t be fixed in a day or two. Poor weather forecast, so we might not lose much harvesting time. Plenty of legume fallow and cover crops to sow. No sitting around just yet.

A trip to Dunbia with 2 lucky kids-they can say they've done something in the holidays now 🫣, aswell as pump monkey and dinner delivery amongst other things.

That’ll be something to write about when they go back to school and have to do a piece of writing on what they did during the holiday!!!

Thank you that would be very helpful, Im not going to do any more straw but I have 8 acres of red clover I’d like to bale as I can’t bring myself to open the gate for the lambs to tread it in at the moment.

@Brisel whoops a bit of senior mind slip there sending it to you instead of @Two Tone !

Hope he got the gist from the conversation anyway
