Corn Harvest Buzzer and hi-tech planting youtu.be/HNhxpOM1P1k
I can remember when sowing oats was done with a horse and what we called a broadcast 12ft wide made up of two 6ft boxes(may have been wider) which swiveled for getting through gates, sprocket geared spinners (off the axle) along the bottom of the boxes. The other difference was that seasons were pretty much well defined back then.
Oily
Today we ran all the steers thru the crush and wormed & blacklegged them then took 14 down the marsh and let them go on the grass, five remained at home in the paddocks to eat that off. To Salisbury Mkt tomorrow looking for a few more, Buzzer

Busy day up ere dosing hoggs and then we put them out onto the fell for summer, 70 less mouths to feed as we haven’t much grass yet. We have had a cold east wind which has stopped the grass growing, today has been warmer with a bit of rain tonight which should wash the fert in.
We have turned some heifers out and four in calf cows apart from that the rest are still stuck inside waiting for grass.
Cheers Wrighty.
Plenty grass down here Wrighty so hope it lasts, needs to warm up a bit and keep the showers coming and the job will be a goodun, Buzzer
They were looking smart when I passed them yesterday heading South on the A19 .

Well the decent weather has finally turned up, nice and warm and the grass has really started to grow now. Been as busy Week on the truck came down to Southampton docks on Tues morning with two Mercedes tractor units, as per usual the paperwork was incorrect so they refused to take them, ended up going around to the Solent gateway at Marchwood to drop them off.
It’s been busy on the farm as our David has gone on holiday so Alice and myself have been doing all the work at home, going back driving tomorrow for a rest.
Cheers Wrighty.
