woodcock11 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 next week i think grass not growing very well need rain. **** law says will rain when we start mowing. ah the life of a dairy farmer. Fantastic weather here and we should have all our grass in tonight. That and the much improved price for milk has brought a slight smile to this dairy farmers face!

whiskymac Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 and they get payed well for it. Did loads of contracting when I was younger and the money was decent but nobody around here making a fortune. We spent years and a small fortune at home keeping old machinery going before getting in contactors for silowing. It's money well spent.

Ricko Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I seem to have spent most of my free time on a Ford 5000 from aged 14 to 22, i remember driving a Ford 7000 with p/a steering and 'wandering' all over the road. Did a vertical 'jack-knife' when the back doors of a silage trailer failed to open. Kept staring at the sticker:- "In the event of an overturn......"
