    Great update Andrew, I don't know where to start. Nice intro, the backdrop looked fantastic and I hope your evening is a success. Good to see the grass seed coming up on your cereals event field. I just wondered though, what's best, drilled or broadcast grass seed. Great to see Tom lamb on your video. I am now wondering, There's you at the dentist talking about teeth whitening and PX James and Michael loosing weight. Good job it's not the 1980's as the shoulder pads might be coming out. Looking forward to the next video.

      Broadcast definitely better. The grass is in the ground such a short time, if it’s in rows it does t have time to tiller and spread by the time the event happens. Michael and James…..😂

    Difficult autumn with most aspects of farming worser than last year in this part of Devon! If those wet bales of straw were here I'd stack them in a shed on there side to dry over time and use for bedding,had to the same with round bales before. Another top video!

    Probably Hay caps would save the the top bales and a load.

    • @WardysWaffleAndrewWard
      @WardysWaffleAndrewWard  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Beet couldn’t as we couldn’t load it but bales could if they were stacked on the concrete with a forklift but ours were stacked with a chaser trailer and I think that would crush the pallets when the chaser tipped up to empty each load.

    Do you have planings on all of your beet pads? The cost of an extra trailer to cart the beet a bit further would be less than the costs of field heaps. It'd be worth pricing up a roof on legs over one of the pads, particularly near your heavier land, i think youd be suprised at the lower dirt tares in your beet. The hard bit would be getting the straw shifted quick enough!

    • @WardysWaffleAndrewWard
      @WardysWaffleAndrewWard  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Planings on one, straw on the other 2 but one of those has been emptied this week. So we’re fine for the rest of the beet. I had wondered about a roof over one of the pads but it would need to be quite high and the legs would get in the way on the 2 open sides.

      Rhonda was born around Swindon but spent a lot of time working at the Royal Ag Uni at Cirencester before moving to Beverley and working at Bishop Burton where I was a governor. They then asked her to work at Riseholme 2 days a week (the 2 colleges are linked) before working there full time. She became Lincs county advisor for nfu in 2018.
