14/09/24. More progress on the barn yards.

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

Make the first change Ian. Then wait a few days and look at the next gates again. See how things work. It’s so exciting, I know. You could make so many changes, but you have to keep things “practical” for you and your animals. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@FarmerP]

Its all an adventure Deirdre 😄👍

[@trevorsidley7697]

Down here we regard both Elder & Birch as weeds -- self seed everywhere and grow very quickly. Saw Rich Cornock using a Slaters Hammer to remove staples, so I bought one. Make the job a little easier. Good recovery with that Haylage Bale, and you eluded the cattle too!

[@FarmerP]

@@trevorsidley7697 Both are “Pioneer” species Trevor, following close on the heels of the ice age melt and retreat, fast growing and maturing with plenty of seed, especially the Birch, its air pollinated and the seeds are easily blown about, it also prefers soils with little competition. I want to keep the trees to provide a soft screen against the hard edges of the buildings and containers, plus Elder apparently has some fly repellent properties… Not sure about that, but it’s another reason to try and retain it 😄

[@chrischeltenham]

The bale was so excited to be the first down the side of the new build it couldn't contain its self 😂

[@simonlichcaterpillarpower]

Good Morning Farmer P, very nice video!!!!!😉👌👍💪💪💪💪💪

very good video as always 👍❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@MoveingMetal]

Put the long spike back in to stop the chopped bales falling in half.

[@FarmerP]

I would if I thought I could push it into the bale, they are packed pretty tight.

[@alanobrien1817]

How about some big rocks for the boundary fence might be cheaper than the concrete panels if you have a quarry nearby 👍

[@BrendanWhite-e3y]

You would want to leave the concrete feeding area about 4 to 5 higher than the standing on the inside . You should leave the plastic on the bales until you get to the feeder 😊

[@mula2626]

Those bales aren’t wrapped in plastic.

[@julielumsden5184]

This time you left a trail so you couldn’t get lost 😅 it did make me laugh.

[@petercross8871]

Hi Ian, if I remember correctly you put plastic chambers in on your drains pull the edge of the concrete with the dooson and they will pop out then knock the concrete off with a lump hammer. .

[@FarmerP]

@@petercross8871 There is a lot of concrete around those chambers Peter, I put them in to stay in.

[@petercross8871]

@@FarmerP Hi, I looked back at a video after I commented, yes, you did plan on them staying, 😂😂

[@samr8833]

Motorway crash barriers make a really good wall for a cattle yard, if you left the steels 5 foot above the ground level and put 4 crash barriers down there that will definitely keep the cattle in.

[@FarmerP]

@@samr8833 I bid for some at an auction once, they went for silly money in the end.

What was the blue tractor in the barn with tree teams trucks

[@trevorsidley7697]

It's Famous Daves - see yesterdays comment from Ian (and a few weeks ago too)

[@MichaelBradley-j6z]

I was just wondering if you could go to tother farm with your plant trailer and bring a few more bales back just thought would be a saving on your time and fuel . The new barns are coming on well cant waif to see them finished.

[@FarmerP]

@@MichaelBradley-j6z I could Michael, but that would men having a bunch if prematurely punctured bales in the yard.

[@Nick-d6u5e]

It will be far better to relay the drain and the covers before concreting. You will really hate any dip coming off the yard whilst carrying bales... As you are thinking of concreting the feed area to the side of the new covered area, how about moving the drain in the yard, further towards the lower end of the feed area. Then it would catch all water of the yard and off the feed area.....

[@FarmerP]

@@Nick-d6u5e The slope of the entire yard, and entrance levels of the barns above also influence the drain levels Nick. Controlling the direction and flow of water to keep it out of the new covered yard and sheds is all factored in. Dropping the drain gully’s would affect levels up hill too. 🙂👍🏼

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Ha ha 😂 WHAT ,The,THING ! THE BLOB OFHAIR . iTS cousin its cousin 😂. That dosent look fun its all over you BUT it was fun to watch . Every thing elts looking good 👍.hope it all works out and you can keep yhe trees . Any possibility of trans planting them ?? . Thankyou for the hay fun !

[@ebxo269]

cut the plastic by the feeder..😃😃.

[@andycruickshank1671]

More progress on the yards good to see.A pain in the ares those bales,would a bale grab be better?

[@FarmerP]

@@andycruickshank1671 Not really, getting the net off with a grab would be a chore.

[@bobuncle8704]

How many bags of firewood do you go through in an average winter? Never seen a bale fail like that before. It looked like heaps of fun.

[@FarmerP]

@@bobuncle8704 Personally, we get through about 12 bags a year, Mrs Ps opinion is it’s free so why be sparing 🤔 I sometimes walk into our lounge in the winter, then walk back out again it’s so warm….🥵

[@jonathanmathias5339]

Free 😂😂😂

alright bossman,why dont you leave the wrap on till you get it there save a lot of time and mess mate.yards looking better all the timemate

[@jwdagriculture]

Like the feed barrier idea should save a lot of time but would it be worth putting locking head yokes in for ease of doing stuff to animals on your own

[@FarmerP]

[@2626stephen]

Now if you had been in a machine with a cab you would not be blinded from the straw. Cracking one again and a fine dry day. Not like today.......RAIN....

[@tractorman810]

those gates aint in great positions now ,i think i would move the main field one down by a few meters, and then use the gained distance to allow you to move the other angled one down, that should give you more room to take the bale trailer down that way ,i recon would be tight to turn in and out of the angled one especially if you leave them both where they are

[@FarmerP]

@@tractorman810 I won’t use that route for big trailers, I have two much more suitable gates for that 🙂👍🏼

Most concrete strength says 28 day strength. 2 weeks seems very short to me

[@TheByard]

You can cure it off quicker covering it with hession and watering twice daily, mind you the rain and cooler temps helps.

[@FarmerP]

@@murtpep Two weeks for a surface that bears little weight is plenty, it’s not a bridge or retaining wall.

[@spannermonkey]

Sorry but that was funny with the bale, almost looked like you were trying to make the skid steer look like a bale🙂 How come you don't take your 16ft trailer to other farm and bring back 2 or 3 bales at a time?

[@FarmerP]

@@spannermonkey No need, I go to the other farm regularly anyway and only spike the bales I’m going to use in the next day or two 🙂👍🏼

[@spannermonkey]

@@FarmerP fair enough. Glad your foots on the mend👍

[@Benzelf]

Would it be possible to take the bales in plastic to the ringfeeder and take off the plastic upon arrival ?

[@FarmerP]

@@Benzelf Yes, as long as the cattle don’t decide to start playing with the wrap. The recycling companies want it back clean, not covered in cow slobber and 💩😄👍🏼

[@adrianbew9641]

Silage can be notorious as it can ferment if its baled damp or quite green this liquid ends up in the bottom and stinks to hi heaven not what you want in the confined space of the skidsteer, better to unwrap and leave in the barn.
