Who else is sat waiting to get spraying

[RAF]

Managed to do some grass jobs this morning . Ground is wet thou . Drying nice now with these 30 mph winds

 

[Chae1]

Aye but it’s showers of rain for most of them!!

I've been going today and yesterday

 

[Devil's advocate]

Like Kidds no big area, but complex mix of crops.

Blight spray, interow herbicides on veg, some flea beetles (they can swim) spring barley, some brassica transplanting to do.

The barn looks nice & tidy.

Well managed to finish t3 and and 160 acre of S barley started at 8 pm just sat down for a coffee all on away ground so run back to fill . Boom lights are a game changer wish I had fitted them before.

Its a two way sword, work or family, need money to give family a decent life and somwtimes they want that but unhappy when you are out earning it, I'm not that bothered about doing mine now as its too late for fusarium control and as we dont drill tramlines I will roll a bit down which otherwise I would combine, will the cost of the spray and lost grain from the tramlines be more than any extra yield ?

trust me , a divorce will cost you more than a missed t3 ever could !

 

[pdagriservices]

Just started T3 wheats this morning. Luckily sprayer had been out of action for nearly a week waiting for bits. All sorted now. Spring Barley then after.

 

[Boysground]

My sprayer hasn’t moved for a fortnight now. Last time I used it I was rained off so need to do 6ha again. Far too windy here today have all my T3 some barley and all the maize to spray, 3 or 4 days work to do that and the forecast doesn’t look promising.

I started at 5.30 yesterday morn, sprayed the last 3 spud fields for blight. Was back in bed at 8am ready for the children to bring me Father’s Day breakfast in bed

Guy next door to me turned up with sprayer to do his spuds at 11 am yesterday. It started to rain but he kept going anyway.

We had rain by 10, but not much at all.

dont worry I know that from personal experience which is why we now have a family flat ib Bournemouth to spend at least one wknd a month in and am going to France for 11 wks next winter, more to life than farming, and strangely I am more enthused over work these days as I' not ground down milking cows 365 days a year, the trouble is its hard to know when to start taking it easier

I think it's safe to say we all know about long hours and getting it in the neck from the other half when she's feeling neglected. Although oddly enough the long hours don't seem to matter nearly as much when her car needs changing or a few bob on a holiday .

Bit breezy. Two chaps doing potatoes on the way to lincoln. Ah well.

 

[MrNoo]

Passed a chap on the way to Milton Keynes today out spraying, drifty to say the least!!!

Thats good, get a bit of blight cover under the leaves.

Was more of a job keeping it in the field. I could taste it as I drove past on the road. Not saying any more. I'm sure the operator was very proud.
