The joys of a robot. Cow has a weird teat so I figured I'd help her before teaching a heifer. Take a look at the time, she took 20 minutes in the end.

You need a tall bucket with the bottom cut out - one of those antifreeze containers or something.Took the kids to Young Farmers. Bagging muck up for the muck haul on Saturday. I knew I should have dumped and run, but I foolishly stayed to give them a hand.

400 bags later, we're just about knackered 🫣
They weren't employed it was young farmers so they paid to attendYou need a tall bucket with the bottom cut out - one of those antifreeze containers or something.
Put bucket in bag, fill with muck lift bucket, bag is full.
You could do all of that on your own then and not employ children after hours.
That sounds like the @Hfd Cattle school of employmentThey weren't employed it was young farmers so they paid to attend

will be avoiding Mole Valley branded Urea next time I order, every bag seems to be a top link tester when it lumps out

Won’t come out of the bag and then so much dust in it it struggles to flow, have to empty out every 3 bags was relieved when the wind got up so I could change jobs
Been thinking about going liquid, by the time I’ve got through 47 bags of this, the fert spreader might be for sale 🫣
We have some mole valley urea this year and it really good quality, it doesn’t look like that at all does have the inhibitors added though . It’s the most even size granular product we have ever spread .View attachment 1171151

Afraid not, just doing what I can when I can. Was hoping for an easy one today on the tractor after yesterday’s visit to A&E but crappy Urea put an end to that planAre you feeling any better?

Wasn't just us! There we're around 20 young farmers, and as it was at a farm round the corner from ours, I thought it not worth going home before I'd be back again. The old girl got to sweating 🫣Good effort !
Years ago we were discing on the alluvial soils on the Holkham marshes (now a nature reserve) when it got really wet. We ended up with a big ball of mud with a drawbar on it.View attachment 1171159View attachment 1171160Dragged these out of the nettles this morning, we still have one ex cabbage field that is in a mess and we need to level the ruts before it’s ploughed. We have tried several different tined cultivators and all have failed so today I had a really good idea that a set of discs would do the job . A quick call to a friend to see if he still had his discs and could we hire them and we were good to go ………………. For about 30M ….. not my best idea 8rx almost got stuck and discs took a lot of digging out and washing.
