Topping

Ye been topping over a month now

Love looking back as you're driving out of a field you just topped.

Just after topping a field with a few heifers in it. I'll leave them there until Monday to clean up the topping before moving them to the next field. We use a disc mower to top and it leaves a nice clean job. I was watching a lad who works for a local contractor topping a few fields for a neighbour and he was reversing around the field, that would drive me nuts.

It's one of those toppers that sits behind the tractor so where the tractor tyres drive over the weeds and flatten them the topper isn't able to cut them iykwim.

TBH I don't know. The problem here is that I can't weed lick or top the noxious weeds in the GLAS/LIPP fields and the docks, creeping nettles, all types of thistles have gone out of control since we joined. I can spot spray them but I be on a Zimmer frame before I got around to spraying all of them. I wonder does the Noxious Weed Act surpass the more recent GLAS actions.

In really hot weather it's daily, most of the time it's every second day, however if it's dry and there is little or no sun you will get three days
