winter barley was good, nothing cut over 14%, osr was yielding very well but moistures from 9 - 12.5% and wheat, nothing cut above 15%, mostly about 13.5 all yields on our heavy clay have been fairly good considering

Just thought i'd share couple of pics. Be cool to see anyone elses. FIrst pic is first load of the year coming off on 5th july, earliest ever start we've had

me and the girlfriend both work bloody hard, farming and horses, and share everything cooking and house work wise. wouldnt want it any other way. I've seen my mum wait on my dad for 25yrs and i never ever want that. when we arent shattered, we both enjoy cooking, probably me more so, but i never expect dinner to be on the table even after 20hr days. by not expecting, its a great surprise when it is. this time of year i love getting home with enough light to get the bbq going, can cook most meals on that i think the old, i work hard all day is a shite excuse for not cooking every now and again for the misses.

i was muck spreading a few years back and roared into an old really rotten heap with thr loader, lifted up a grab full and the amount of snakes that were falling out of the load scared the **** out of me!! they were wriggling around like a fishermans bait box of worms!!! never seen anything like it before

Just wondered really as I typed in Firewood earlier and was amazed at how many different sellers of firewood there was on there. Much success??? Prices seem very low and crazy on there!! Cheers All the best

Good Evening, IF anyone is ever in need of a tip site Colchester or Bury St Edmunds, please dont hesitate to contact me. I'll happily take any timber, hardwood/softwood I'm not fussed, from anyone that needs shot of it on a job close by. I dont expect anything for nothing and will happily pay cash for any decent stuff. Suffolk site is ten minutes from Sudbury, Clare, Haverhole and 15 from Bury. Essex site is 10 mins from Sudbury and 15 mins from Colchester. Many thanks Ben

Jay, stop being a tart and spend an afternoon spiltting it all failing that, let your best young farmer friend come over with 15t trailer and pick it up might even buy you and emily a drink for the pleasure
