great pictures Dan. Is that grass that is growing under the maize so you have a better soil at harvest time?

Texas

I saw a gang today Dan, can't remember where for a minute but they had a Jaguar and a pair of Axions with blue Richard Westerns on the back. ..  Somewhere between Shepton and Frome I am sure.

Also saw T S Stevens out between Street and Somerton too yesterday

Stevens have a pair of class tractors now, thought that be J W Davis as he runs with axion tractors.

Stevens were on today in Compton Dundon earlier today

Texas

i think that is grass that has just not been killed properly by the spray guy i think.  Some fields here have bad problems with weed in the bottom.

the guy next door under sows it with grass and leaves cattle on it then ploughs it in and puts maize back in

you would be right, was on a long haul that day.  Podimore roundabout to Witham Fairy (past Bruton)

on the way back got caught in the traffic

nice pics but 40 mile round trip hauling maize! How many tractors and trailers to keep the chopper running and more importantly is it viable to haul that distance (financially I mean, it's great for the drivers but the farmer?)

[Deere-est]

I see mate, I was hauling Shepton to Wells and/or Yeovil and then Glastonbury to Yeovil most of last week. Saw Stevens coming back from Somerton way on Friday too. An MTX and a T60??.
