Popular Post tractorboyjules1977 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2018 Well with all this great weather were cracking on through heaps of work , 1st time for years everything all going to plan ! , Well through 2nd cut solar for chopping , starting to move on making haylage for the 6 livery yards we deal with all year around , seems to be bale trailers flying in and out the yard every 5 minutes !! the combine making its way into the workshop for a look over , looks like we're going to be into the barley within the next 10 days , due the crop starting to dry off , especially in our heavier clay grounds .we've decided this is the last year for the krone chopper , so we're in discussions with ,Smarts Agriculture about another jd ,and Buglers about a NH fr and Redlynch over a possible return to a fendt !! Trying to sort something on demo ready for wholecrop at the end of next week ! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboyjules1977 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 All wholecrop now finished , last week managed to get our teeth into the wheat , we've got through 200 acres before the rain started falling steadily last night , with more rain forecast for all day Sunday decided to bring the combine and header back to the yard . Every load being weighed in and tipped in pit 1 for cleaning process , after a few loads of not so clean corn coming in ! Full steam with the sprayer as well with attending to potatoes and the fodder beet , making life easier with the unimog in tow , with it being wet a chance to move the sheep around on to some more grass paddocks , looks like weather back to sun for next week so all go again ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboyjules1977 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 End of July update , cracking on through the wheats now , just a mere 800 acre left to do , all balers going flat out behind the combines , straw coming into the yard left ,right and centre , with the straw price still at all time high in this area anyway , we've made the decision to stock pile straw rather than sell straight off the field , with a continued demand throughout the winter it was important for us to keep all customers happy and try and make sure we've got enough at our disposal to fulfill customers needs ! We're injecting straight onto stubbles ready for ploughing and stubble cultivations for the start of the week , 75 acres pencilled in for grass sowing ready for rain forecast end of the week , with everything being flat out we've been down to collect the new JCB 419 from Smarts Agriculture , along with a hired in 6210r !

tractorboyjules1977 Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Start of September the hedgetrimmers on and trimming hedges around the stubble fields destined for kale and turnip crops for winter feed for the sheep , a total of 150 acres to go in , started drilling yesterday and rolling in straight behind . Wheat being loaded for sale as prices still holding at the minute , so decided to get rid of a few tonne now , Looking like maize is about 10 days away so next week foragers going through the workshop for servicing along with trailers ! Let's hope we can keep hold of the good conditions when maize harvesting gets underway 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 With maize still a few days away and all the kale and turnips drilled and rolled in the workshops had a busy few days ,starting with the potato digger and spud trailers being serviced and sent out , Friday we got some digging underway , looks like it's going to be up and down harvest for the potatoes , every load being weighed in before going through the riddle and boxed up , some areas crop showing signs of scabbing and splitting , at least we've made a start and get into main crop later on , 1st year for a few where the dust has been flying out the back of the digger !! We've just got 35 acres of beans to harvest then we can finally put the combine back in the shed for this year .halfway through drilling rape which so far couldn't ask for better conditions , long may it continue , digestate being put on old grass grounds ready for ploughing and drilling 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Things down here at Orchard Farm busy as ever , with maize harvest nearly over for another year , just 45 acres left out of 1250 acres , potatoes finished up this week , with spud harvester and trailers back in the yard waiting for washing off , servicing then packing away for the winter , were now full pelt on drilling wheat , so far 650 acres drilled and 300 plus left to go in , plus 100 acres of oats , perfect conditions so drill operations in full flow ! Spreaders seem to out every single day over the last 2 weeks and all 4 fully booked for the next 10 days or so , all in yard ready for the off in the morning ! Down at Orchard dairy unit , all high yielders in by night , with low yielders still out night and day , young stock being fed silage bales out in fields while the weather still holding up saving up the straw for a long winter ahead ! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
