I bet a 35 with duals would look pretty neat. Do you happen to be from Scotland? Just asking because of the flag emoji. Thanks for watching!

@@bullardfarms I can remember it like it was yesterday, it was absolutely brand new, the very last they made before the 135 , it had bug eye headlights mounted on top of the engine bonnet,, I'm from central Scotland, traditionally, dairy,beef, arable, sheep country, but sadly dairy has almost gone completely, so I'm not a farmer, just someone who spent my working life as a " tractorman" on a mixed farm 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

That's cool! It's always neat to talk to people from other countries. Thanks for sharing

​@@JamesDickson-vs5offrom SW Scotland , did the same, we had Massey 35 and a grey fergy, Fordson SM roadless we even had a 3bagger MH combine, and Gypsy Cobs, family then had a small agri- forestry contracting business.. often remeber them fitted with cages especialy after the 63/4 winter and floods..

Plant 50 rows less next year then there will be no waste. When we grew them for winter sheep I always thought that as much as half was wasted left in the ground they couldn't eat even though there was restricted grazing with electric netting. I don't like to see crop wastage.

I had less than 8 dollars in the seed. I had maybe 30 dollars in the fertilizer. We do a pick your own patch. We sold a lot of turnips and rutabagas out of there. I may be wrong but I think that when doing pick your own, people would rather come to a substantial looking patch rather than just a row or two. To me there is not much difference in discing them in or not even planting them at all. They won't be there either way. Besides, discing them in puts nutrients back into the soil. Thanks for watching and commenting!😊

In Scotland we call this, grazing on the break, turnips, forage rape , the only problem is , the factory will penalize you for dirty sheep 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

​@@JamesDickson-vs5of if I remember right, we turned winter ewes onto turnip then finished on kale.. but do remember something about the mud at market..
