  • May 2021 is turning out to be very different to May 2020 in that it's cold and wet, which is making a big difference to the crops. Then the results of the soil test are back and make fascinating reading.

    We were a diary farm for 70 years, then switched to beef in 2000..
    And we have noticed a drop in quality of our silage+hay over the years since switching to beef.. We put it down to 1 thing,,MUCK..
    When we were in diary,, muck from the milk cows used to go over the entire acreage, TWICE... Now the muck/bedding from the beef cows just about covers the acres ONCE... We don't put fertiliser on, never have(just too damn expensive) When you dig down in the ground you can physically SEE the muck layers from many years ago, layer after layer,, Liked this video... 🚜💯🚜💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚜🚜🚜

    I was chuffed with that Master Class in horticulture and I hope those who make the rules for farmers to follow learnt something from it. So the land cattle graze on take's in more than the cattle produce, plus the cattle further improve the land with their droppings. Very similar to countries buying emission credits from non emission producing countries, yet do nothing abour reducing their own with fully researched schemes.
    It's a long since I've heard Chuffed, to me it has such a warm sound to it.
