TM190 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 What clown was doing donuts in the field Good job there Blake - furrows look very even - a lot learned from before I guess... Are NC still making cattle trailers??? That was just us turning i think :D I thought that the grass land was a lot easier ploughed than the stubble, not once did anyone have to clear the plough, last time it was 2 or 3 every run \ \ Its something i've took a liking too actually, Wouldn't mind getting someone that knows what their doing to teach me \ \ :) No they dont, couldn't compeat with Ifor Williams \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from living away from home, I can honestly say I enjoyed college more than school Well in the classroom we learn about the mechanicing side of things, how clutch's,brakes etc. work. etc.etc.. then we do a bit of mechanicing practical Pratical end, we do 90% of the farm work, ploughing, seeding, silage etc.. main job We learnt how to weld and will be making things from metal using lathes etc. ;D A good mix i recon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Agricultural college so its nice to see someone else who is enjoying it. The industry needs young blood as I was told the other day that the average age of farmers is now approaching 50 :o :o Unfortunately the college that I went to no longer exists, it was Seale Hayne in Newton Abbot (Powerrabbit country) :( :( :( and was as far away from my parents as I could possibly get ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i know, they don't do any of the machinery work. Maybe the odd bit now and again...
