Its her way of dealing with it at the moment ,don't walk away but maybe just take a step back at the moment but let her now you are there ,had a similar experience myself a few weeks back and my head is still a bit screwed up but as each week passes it does get better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Last couple of days we have been cutting LEEDS Wheat not sure what the bushel weight is as only been told its ok , moisture was between 12%-16% its on some lighter land then the clay we have on the rest of the farm ,yield is just over 3,5tons to the acre which compared to my rape/barley is good for the year ,fingers crossed the other 2 variety's yield the same 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 every little helps eh mate , my uncles always thought why waste it ,spent long enough getting it to grow. was always small bales mind, apart for the years where everything was sold, big bales were not overly popular then so if i remember it was all round baled by a contractor ,as you say paid for by the bale . it did seem weird going up there with all the barns empty of straw , although not as weird as the missing pigs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 day off today,so i have removed 3 doors and frames for reuse, moved some more of the light switches and a socket where the new lintel and opening is going, only leaves some minor sparky work to do now. the internal block walls half up, and i have reclaimed some 100 bricks from the outer skin so far with very little effort, few taps on the back of the frog and the mortor falls out, new outer wall will be done with new bricks, but i hate waste so the plan is to reuse these bricks for a new boundry wall planned for next year, ,saves the cost of disposing of them as well . rough estimates allowing for a few breaks is i can near on do the wall with whats there, plus we will have some left from the new stuff. only waste will be the morter then, and the inner thermalite blocks cut out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
