Welcome to my Only Farms where you'll see plenty of hardship with some 135 and suckler content thrown in for good measure. I'm farming in Co Kerry in the South West of Ireland alongside my Dad who is a full-time wheelchair user after an accident so he's the brains and I'm the brawn (kinda)

    Drain repairs or renewed, lime and slurry or bedding muck and those rushes will die off. The 390, a great tractor and that is a fine example too!

    Can't fault you Karen, main thing is you get stuck in and have a go, and correct any mistakes. That's all anyone can do. And the only fully independent person would be living on a desert island, so no shame getting some help here and there. I think you're doing a fine job, and have a lovely nature about you. If you get one of those extending wheel nut socket/brace/ things, you'll have no problem with wheel nuts. And after ringing calves, just check both plums are in the bag. Brilliant fun.

    At 15, I started work on a farm, and was told by a 85yr old farmer, something that he said I would never forget. If you can see the mountains, it's going to rain, if you can't see them, it's raining. He was right, I haven't forgotten it, 60yrs on.

    We do have a lot of slurry but my Dad is holding back on it because we had a bad experience a few years ago where it was too dry and never got washed down right and ruined our bales so we'll spread after the second cut now

    Karen,easy to see why you got 10/acre.....grass still wet. Would have paid you to ted out the grass. At least 3 bales/acre less. I used to do what you did,but soon caught on to tedding.....less bales to pay for,less to stack/handle,keep their shape better and at the end of the day the same grass is compacted into less bales. I think you will still need a decent 2nd cut. Contractor also driving too fast to properly roll a bale tight....they won't care you have 200 bales off 10 acre!! I had similar looking crop,also baled with a fusion 3,chopped..6 bales/acre. As you may now sense.....I detest soft bales!!!!😢😢😢
