Farming life and strife is getting very popular recently. Latest is Quest TV with Born Mucky, on last night and with some local Herefordshire content...
I was talking to the silage contractor this year, just under 40 acres here and they thought it was just viable to use the self propelled, any less and they thought it would be a job for the their forage wagon, but everyone mentions with a wagon the loading the pit is a very different job.Maize going in the other side of the clamp I think.
But yes, the Dale Farm lot really wind me up. Farting about with an old Nuffield and Leyland when they've got a nearly new Belarus loader tractor. And if they want a back up to the Belarus, flog the collectors items for Classic prices and buy something a bit more modern with the money.
So on one hand you've got a farm spending £80k to do 40 acres of silage, justifying the purchase by saying it means they don't wait for a contractor, and still getting it rained on (the interest alone would pay the contractor's bill) while another farm spends half a day fiddling about with knackered old wrecks.
What did he say his costs were?Anyone seen Harry's farm YouTube video on his combine costs.
My boss worked out his maths are wrong, his combine is costing him £64 an acre...

I do enjoy his videos though.
