    Nettleban is pretty good at getting rid of nettles and you won't have to reseed the patch after

    Doubt there's much grass left between the nettles there, but I didnt go investigate yesterday. I know in the other paddock we reseeded that when I sprayed the nettles last year with grazon there wasnt much left in those patches.

    we'll see.

    Did the same thing myself a few years back, really dry silage hit a rut in the ground and the bale bounched up the exact same as that, it was a DB990 and I was waiting for the window to shatter in ontop of me.

    As for a caption

    I saw that happen for real once with a young lad driving on too hard across the field only in his case the bale landed straight on top of the cab! I had to lift it off for him with the teleporter

    Jaysus.........Some great pics of silage bales gone astray!

    I dropped a bale of hay on myself very like that a few year ago stacking them 4 high in the hayshed. Once is enough to be at that crack!

    Poaching in July! Here's a before and after. The paddock was only grazed for 12 hrs but in fairness it's a wet one anyway.

    Knocked all my silage for the winter yesterday and after studying the weather and going with gut feeling decided to leave it to wilt. I reckon the contractor, whose a neighbour thought I was mad given how heavy the showers have been over the last few weeks. After a somewhat anxious night it paid off. One light shower at 2am and other than that it only got the lightest of drizzle. Some serious drying conditions over the last 36hrs here. Baler went in at 9am this morning as there was rain hanging out at sea all the morning. It just all seemed to blow South and not come inland, thanks be to God! Last one baled at 1.30pm and all stacked by around 3pm.

    So a happy camper tonight with 172 good quality bales giving me 220 bales for the winter. Stock eat a bale a day so I've a good buffer should I need it.

    1st photo - good yield 11w after getting CAN. It was grazed before this and has been closed off for 12-13 weeks. 143 bales off a field just shy of 9 acres. The other 29 came from grazing ground.

    2nd photo - about the worst of the ground in the silage field. There was surface water in this patch on Thursday!

    3rd photo - It was with a big sigh of relief and satisfaction that I took this photo!

    Would you believe the rain has started while I've been editing this post!

    Walked an outfarm earlier checking to see if there was much grass in it because we are starting to run tight. Its wet ground but I was suprised how much it had grown since it was grazed last. I can stop worrying about grass for a while now :)

    The girlfriend found this little wild kid in a scolp yesterday and she brought it home and gave it frisky.

    Is it because I don't know sheep that I have no idea what scolp or frisky means?:confused:

    Scolp would be like a gap between rocks here, and frisky is a lamb milk replacer.
