smithy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Because we had 13mm of rain overnight to stop me turning hay ,I went to the Fram-Farmers/Walnes Seeds invitation only open day , after walking all the trial plots of wheat there was a good selection of machines to look at back in the farm yard and as much food and drink as you could eat 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Your wheat crops looking well Smithy, fields round me in the Fens looking very good presently except a few flattened spring barleys. All in stark contrast to last year I must say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I suspect wheat could go up a fair way in price this year what with the apocalyptic weather in Europe and the unimaginable flooding over millions of acres in the USA mid west!! You might have Goodie chasing you to upgrade one of those red tractors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it belongs to a local contractor Paul, I had another of my favourite jobs of leading and stacking the bales....I do find it boring! The JCB was some tool mind, sounded very well!
