Make the hay, store it safe and dry. And sell it over the winter when demand is high. And if ya don't sell it, if its good hay it will last

Is there a good summer promised? I want 1 more week of good weather. I'll get 35 acres sown for grass (been too wet the last 2 years), the silage cut and the turf footed

a few weeks ago people where getting 5 euro for crappy small bales !!!!!!!!!! and 30 for 4x4's !!!!!!!!!!!- i paid 25 euro for 4x4 after making about 20 phone calls

pint at the time cost 20p

Sounds llike a neighbour of mine! He'll always compare what he could get for a gallon of milk years ago to what he can get now. Always at it he is!

Sure the auld honeymoons back then was just a few days away, do the ring of Kerry and back home again.

A few weeks in the maldives or south east asia, etc was never heard off!!

What was the swarth like? Should be good quaity if it was cut last tuesday and is saved dry, but if it's old permanent pasture you'll obviously be asking less
