Our direct drilled winter wheat is looking pretty good, considering the rain it’s had since planting.
Let’s hope for a bumper crop to keep all those chickens fed!
With the continued wet weather, we have brought in this year’s spring born calves. They should get on better inside now.
This is at least three weeks earlier than usual, due to ongoing wet conditions. Lucky we have enough good food for them, as it’ll be a long winter!
Joel Westaway, our placement student from Harper Adams University College places the last of the hay bales collected onto the trailer. These will now be stored inside in the dry.
Grain harvest begins with the winter barley. The grain is kept and processed into animal feed. Whilst the straw is raked up and baled for golden yellow bedding straw.
