Thanks for the update Andrew. That field of gleam winter wheat looks great be interesting to see the yield when it's harvested. When I worked for Dickinsons we used to collect OSR from farms in Oxfordshire for Gleadells and they stored it on Binbrook Airfield they had a large BM Volvo with a 40 foot pusher tipping 3 loads at a time in the mid eighties. Thanks again.
Totally agree, they have really stuffed up the whole country. The sooner this shower of a gov are gone the better but it’ll take years and years to undo the damage.
Still wet here in Cornwall Andrew, plenty of wb still around to cut, hopefully we get a decent back half of August and September then I can get out with my drone and see some harvesting around here, that 8rx is a hell of machine for its size in comparison to the quad track, that JCB 3cx is a really tidy example too, great update Andrew as always 👍 Cheers Lee
Good Video again Andrew, the RX is doing a grand job . Would be nice to have a settled spell of weather , so everyone can crack on with harvest. Happy Birthday for yesterday Andrew hope you had a nice day .
Andrew what a great update I am no longer farming as now retired but was at my peak 30/40 years ago so interesting listening to how farming is now compared to in my time all that red tractor stuff was never about in my day thank god .would it be possible to show us them waterlogged fields in your midweek update to see what they look like I have never seen fields in my time with so much water on them hopefully a drier week ahead .
There is no such thing as a quick drainage job. You just have to resign yourself to a lost week at least no matter how good your maps are.The results when it is finally fixed are always very rewarding though!
Birthday greetings for yesterday Andrew, i hope you had a great day! That lovely clean field of Gleam. If the store had an auger system would that have been better and cheaper for getting the osr in Andrew or would it just be too slow?
Hope you had a good day yesterday I know plough is a dirty word would the grass ley going in to wild flowers worked down easer if the turf was turned over
Great looking field of Gleam, looks full of potential. Will you carry on growing with its YR issues ? What will be a good alternative to Gleam ? Kept the birthday quiet ! 🎉.
I kept my birthday quiet but Olly didn’t!!! I think we’ll carry on with gleam, YR is quite easy to control if you get it as soon as it starts. And not too costly.
Occasionally we’ve seen it in very wet and sandy soil where a few seeds might but most fall amongst the clods and deeper than the roller goes. The rougher the surface the less chance of it happening.
Not really because some times we have 4 or 5 lorries waiting to tip and we can tip a load in each shed at the same time. A pit outside and Elevators in the roof is another way but the cost will be huge.
Once over after with that weapon of a solo of yours she’d be a picture am sure. Had a 180mm of rain in my area of Cumbria 7 miles away from me they’ve had an extra 20mm on blue clay
