oh and cheers josh, ive got a friend asking about some of her contacts in south wales, she knows a few people that might need a stockperson and reliefe milk persons on some dairy farms

well this is what im faced with anywhere tris so even if im only there a few months its better than doing nothing for a few months a job is a job and i have to snap them up when they come along, its all part of being a seasonal worker, crack on next year when im free to get a full time job anywhere in the country and college isnt holding me back

if you can get me a number that would be great mate i didnt really want to go back to a bigger unit but from how the job hunting is going anything is good compared to doing nothing. cheers mate

just phoned mate, theyve interviewed people and taken someone on already, cheers for the help though

yes ive tried farmer guardian from north wales ive tried: DW.Jones, RD Roberts, Dolwen farm, JT Hughes, JC Williams, Owen Bros, RJ Williams, RD Jones & Co, GW Owen, TM Hughes, RM owen, TG & B Jones, HW Parry, D Roberts, GO Parry, Wyn Griffiths & Sons

i have got a cv tris but i got fed up of sending it off and hearing nothing as its 4 pages long and so when im sending it off to groups of farms its using up ink and costing a bit now, and phoning them gets a direct answer, im contacting stock, arable and mixed farms all between 100-800 acres. ive also tried a few contracting groups but no work, a few farms have taken my details incase anything crops up but thats it, ive tried the websites aswell looking for work but not allot on them and ive applied to what im suitable for and heard nothing. all i can do is keep trying different areas around the country. im back at college next week so ill see if they can help but i might also put an advert up at the ploughing marathon and cultivations demo day in a few weeks time as many farmers and companies will be at that and so might be of some success if they see it. i would have stayed at griffiths bt they just didnt have the work for me, i had allot of idle time there which was boring for me and costly for them. id go back if they had a vacancy but i want plenty of work (not just bits here and there). what id do to get a stable permanent job ehh, like i had a poplars farm.

ok, so ive finished at suckleys about 3 weeks ago now and i still calnt find a job ive tried all the farms around telford and got fedup of pesstering them and so im trying further a field (about 100 miles) im trying places on a transport route (railway line) so i can just get a train near there and stay there for however many days a week before traveling back for college for 3 days a week ive tried farms and contractors around llandudno, abergele, glan conwy, rhyl, prestatyn, wrexham, ruabon and they either dont have the room for another worker. most of the farms i have tried are stock farms with sheep or cattle and some are mixed farms. i am just wondering now where else to try as im starting to wonder if will find a job now and i dont want to have to leave college for the sake of getting a job as the college course is proving too usefull to leave now. what am i supposed to do as i need a job bt there is nothing out there and i AM NOT going to end up on the dol, thats something i promised myself would never happen why are there no jobs on farms nowerdays?? there are te odd farms and that is it. even the big farms only have temporary places

well is basically all done arond here, just bale stacks waiting to be shifted, cultivations are well under way now, muckspreaders around and about and the poultry much is getting carted to the stubble fields. the potatoes are going well, both suckleys and griffiths are on the green top and they all have graders and elavators setup at the stores to start loading maize is not far off either about 2 weeks round here and there is some lettuce crops left to be harvested by PDM

well for my quad i have purchased a towball, lockable fuel filler cap and a rear rack

jst a quich update just had a letter through from college telling us we now have a case and 6f kuhn plough and a massey and 6f greggor bessen plough

im hoping when i go back to college to get photos of the maize harvest as im carting and photos from our ploughing marathon where there will be many companies demoing kit and of us ploughing with plenty of new kit so lots to come in the next few weeks

cheers mate, i knew id get good photos when saw it working as the sun was out, and it was a great piece of kit to see working

last one for now

one of PDM's John Deere 8345rt tractors cultivating lettuce land with a 6.6m simba

i saw this on ebay couple of days ago, almost bought it but won a massey loader tractor conversion instead

just been out and about and spotted a john deere 6930 premium on spud harvester also 2 john deere 6920's subsoiling and cultivating wheat stubble

that is a big help thanks never really been big on sheep farming but from the small amount ive done it hasnt been too bad apart from shearing time im thinking of going and doing a year on my uncles farm as its more than just farming its a proper little business due to having the caravan park and 25 stables aswell. i think it would be some good knowlege to know how to manage different sides to farming especially with many smaller farms having these backup money making schemes to fall back on if another part of the farm fails for example if the sheep get a disease ect... also farming in the hills and the valleys is very different to the flat arable land of shropshire and the rest of the uk

hi, i was just wondering how many farmers bring their sheep indoors through the winter and feed sheep silage. my uncle leaves his out all winter and just takes round hay bales to them but i want to know if its common for sheep to be fed silage and kept indoors over winter i only know of one farmer that does it and hes got around 900 sheep. he brings them in and puts them on silage some time before they go for slaughter but the rest are left out does anybody else do this

you will mate, will be plenty to see and do any idea what deere we are getting for the 6f. would have thought at least a 7530 premium

caught the bale chaser in opperation today as i was passing

in the car today i saw some of griffiths potato kit going back to the farm after doing tome greentop so went for a snoop and found a john deere 7530 with 14 tonne bailey and a john deere 6920 at walcot stores where the first grader has been set up with a store loader for the first lot of long term spuds.
