While the weather holds. . . .

. . more winter feed is filling the silage pit. Earlier this year we continued our practise of sowing three fields for "wholecrop". This year it was barley and peas, undersown with grass. Today the contractor has come with a huge specialist forage harvester and cut and chopped (all in one) the wholecrop. It's coming in by the trailer load and James is loading onto the rapidly filling silage pit. I haven't any photos (yet) as the fields aren't quite as handy this year (one on The Lots and then Front and Back Bank). I'm told that there's a very good crop of grass underneath, so we've plenty of grazing for this year, and next year the grass should do even better. All organic seed of course and only fed with slurry and FYM.
