    How times change, the machinery has transformed the tasks.
    I remember as a kid out in the fields in Kerry turning the hay with a pitchfork, then gathering it the same way and stacking it in haycocks, tied down with ropes spun out of twisted hay (a skill I never really mastered!). Anyway it’s fun watching you doing it, from here in SINGAPORE 🇸🇬

    • @Canningfarms
      @Canningfarms  Рік тому +1

      Yea first time I tried it it's just to get a good wilt on the grass and reduce the moisture content going into the bale and hopefully that will increase the dry matter and be better feed seemed to work well

    Looks as though that should make high quality silage judging by what you were showing us. Do you have any slurry left to spread? - those fields would really benefit from a heavy application and would likely produce a good yield of second cut. Dan

    • @Canningfarms
      @Canningfarms  Рік тому +4

      No no slurry left have a bit of fert left over I'll graze the edges off and apply then hope to get another cut in 6-7 weeks off that patch again and have it then grazing the rest of the year
