I use clouds for my gps mowing. Look out your back window at a cloud straight behind you, then turn into a new block and aim for it again.

As they say back in the day always plough the land the way it lies as the water will follow the plough furrow

Ha we have looked out our old kkk put new tines on them gave them a paint up and using them as cultivator dry out surface water checking weather app as well seems to be working ok just winter wheat to put in this week coming seems to be ok fingers crossed but yes keep an eye cultivate and get rid of surface water and weather ok usually do it on second day for spring barley we are even cultivating them all to allow frost to get in and brake up the ground a bit and it should make easy ploughin or direct drilling am from the north east Aberdeenshire Scotland still heeps of barley to cut up here and away up north having a bad times up there i herd

Hi James, lucky to be silaging in October. So how many did you do in the hour with Tanco?

@baldysfarm 4 күн бұрын

Still about 80 but tbh I wasn’t pushing it mega hard. Sped up some of the settings and then cruised along. Probably could have done 90 if I’d really pushed her.

@baldysfarm 4 күн бұрын

5th October it was baled.

@adamholmes6493 5 күн бұрын

Why don't you make clamp silage rather than making all them bales ?????

@baldysfarm 4 күн бұрын

Tbh, we would need a new clamp which would be a huge investment and then we would also have to rely on a contractor with heavy kit and trailers which I’d rather not do. Hoping to move to keep cattle out longer in general so shouldn’t need to make as much moving forward, even with higher cattle numbers.

If you had a fusion you could have stayed in on Saturday night James, we finished baling straw last Saturday before the rain Sunday, nice to get it done might do some more silage if we could just have some sun👍

@baldysfarm 4 күн бұрын

Yeh too right. My only concern would be the weight in this scenario. Glad you got your straw bales, it’s been a hell of a long campaign this year with the weather 🙈

@richardmatthews3304 4 күн бұрын

@@baldysfarm the weight would be fine their on big tyres and I'm guessing it's reasonable flat where you are but cameras never give a true picture, yes long season for sure, did you count the bale difference on the thick seeds and thinner seeds. Be interesting to see how the two patches compare as time goes on, looks some nice stuff, be interesting to see the analysis of the different leys you v baled this year, 👍

Im not a farmer but i used to silage and hay contracting lad u may seriously have a think about pitting all that grass !

@baldysfarm 5 күн бұрын

Trouble is our pits on its last legs and it would be a huge investment to put a new one in and we use mowing as a management tool, so I can’t see a contractor wanting to keep coming for 8 acres here and 10 acres there all summer 🙈

@markandrews6712 4 күн бұрын

Wouldn’t the savings on the baling and wrapping soon pay for updating the pit? You could still bale the small areas needed for grass management yourself.

@baldysfarm 4 күн бұрын

@@markandrews6712not if you consider the economic costs of the machinery needed to feed clamp silage no. Bales seem expensive to make (which in comparison to clamp it is) but cheap as chips to feed. Realistically clamp is no cheaper than bales.

Wow what a difference in lights on the tractors. Good old 6410👍

Sure is, and remember that the 6410 has LED lights fitted too. Way better than the standard ones 👍

@thomasevans5491 5 күн бұрын

How many acres of silage do you make for 100 odd cows you seem to silaging all summer

@baldysfarm 5 күн бұрын

We use mowing as a management tool so we are often silaging lower cover but we also have about 400 head of stock on farm at any one point with the finishing stock too. Winter feed budget dictates about 1600 silage bales and 400 hay to make it through the winter safely.

@thomasevans5491 4 күн бұрын

@baldysfarm so about 800,000 tonnes of fresh weight silage I'm guessing at that, I'm only asking as we are running roughly the same sort of number of cows 160 acres pit silage 10 acres of wholecrop and similar in maize silage plus 25 acre of round bales for sheep and 30 acres of the pit silage would be for sheep, got cows on restrictive ration once weaned 20kg silage 2kg straw nothing better than going in the evening seen all cows lying down in cubicles chewing cud

@timmo645 5 күн бұрын

If the two seed rates are producing similar tonnage. It will be interesting to see if one out performs, or is more resilient, than the other over time.

@baldysfarm 5 күн бұрын

100%. I would have thought there would have been slightly more on the double rate field but surprisingly not. Time will tell.
