Hi 7 to 9 bales roughly 2 bags per acre first cut you could go with slurry after that and a later cut or good grass on the back end of the year for the ewes
As always a beautiful adventure documentary an updated resume a countryside content video and appreciate your efforts and hard work for sharing your beautiful sharing lifestyle documentary adventure video, keep it up and have a wonderful blessing weekend to you and your beautiful family over there .. thanks again from Montreal QC Canada ..
Glyn, your Dad is going to be ticketed for not wearing a helmet, make him use it! Also slow down when you're panning the camera left to right or the other way. It makes people dizzy if you go too fast. Someone I know says she can't watch them because of that. Looks more professional too. Glad to finally see the cows. They look good.
Hi Glyn, your dad seemed to enjoy joking and interacting with the students. It is great that they have these Field Trips to learn about Farm and Ranch life. The footage with the Squeeze Shoot was great as well. With all of the lambing issues this year it is great that you can have a change of pace. Noticed the new dog. Is that a family pet?
7-9 bales on that you’d be doing well. 2 bags to the acre. But make sure what ever you do, make sure your PH is right. Probably best to spread lime on it if you haven’t. You’ll see a huge huge difference for very little money.
Great video lads. Absolutely brilliant to witness such a display of good humour. Glad to see it still alive and well in that beautiful corner of Ireland.
My first big laugh of so many was watching the cows watching you like a hawk, Glynn. When you walked back to the tractor they all moved their heads in unison and I swear they were asking each other...."Wait a minute! Where the heck is he going now? Come back, come back!" Love all the talk and games with the kids❣️
I still think that farmers need to add value to their product - start an online frozen door to door meat business - start with the Lamb and as your steer beef herd comes of age (this hefer herd you have should have 50% bull/steer calves) add them into the mix - you might need to talk to Te Pari about their cattle handling system as your herd grows - you are building a Taranaki gate at the bottom of that paddock lots of those in NZ - I think youtuber Kiwi Farmer show you how we make those in one of his vlogs
Gladdens my heart to see young people hopefully going into farming ....in my time long since finished farming(( even though i was born and bread to it..))... young people like my self because of various reasons left farming ... best of health to all..
Great video Guys 👍 The new 🐄's look right at home 🥰 That was fantastic the students giving you a visit and interacting with the equipment/ewes and lambs, let's hope some of them will become farmers, and keep in touch with you if they need any good advice 🤞Aww that was so nice of you going to the school 👍 Have a wonderful weekend Guys stay safe ❤
The sheep handling with the Tepari will be boring after the dad shedding gate. A fine looking bunch of youngsters, I hope they enjoyed their visit. I was wondering if the PH on your silage fields is around 6.5. A lot of money wasted on nitrogen spread on acidic soils.
Its always said with slurry 2.5 bags to acre without slurry 3.5 bags to acre. Put out 72 units acre this yr of cut sward 24/2.5/10 which equals 3 bags to acre =72units N to acre
Glynn 10 possible 12 3 bags per acre which is 72 units off nitrogen roughly 2 units off nitrogen used up per day so roughly 36 days safer get a nitrogen test just before cutting can be done through teagasc or your local merchant
I always worked off giving 1st cut silage ground 100 units of Nitrogen between slurry and fertiliser. They say under normal growing conditions that grass uses up 2 units of Nitrogen a day. So allow a few days for the fertiliser to get into the ground and divide the amount of N applied by 2. That'll give you how many days you'll have to wait until the N is used up. You wont end up with a heavy or very high quality crop at this stage but if you can hit 8-10 bales an acer it'll be grand. Could you give it some pig slurry before the chemical fertiliser? That would be a great job.
