Yesterday we had an angry member of the public jump out in front of the combine around the headland because his sandwich was covered in dust. He then came out again and stood in front of the combine. He was so lucky not to have been hit by a vehicle. Thanks mum for de-escalation

Combine Maintenance; Itโ€™s not always driving about ๐Ÿ˜Š Blowing off the combine is an very important task, the biggest reasons we do this is to prevent fire and to keep the combine running as cool as possible, dust/ chaff can build up quickly when these machines are out all day

The sheep are out grazing the stubble turnips (Samson). Turnips are called a catch crop, they are fast growing and are easy to eat also highly palatable. As the late summer nights become cool, sugars increase in the bulbs providing a, high carbohydrate diet. leaves = protein.

The yellow tint to the fertiliser is a urease inhibitor this allows us to continue using urea, a base supply of nitrogen, whilst preventing volatilisation. This happens when nitrogen is lost to the atmosphere as ammonia (NH3) gas; driven by urease enzymes, in soils and plants.

Drills/ seed planters deliver seed at a metered pace and evenly distribute crops throughout the soil, lightly compact the soil to improve seed to soil contact. With this drill @sumo_uk depending on the conditions we can cover 100-120 acres a day.
