    Nice steady flow from the connacht agri pipes I put down a few weeks ago, mind you hardly surprising given the rain we had over the last week.

    Can you notice a difference in the land yet? I'd one corner of the silage field that I opened a trench to about 2 months ago and it's made a huge difference. Could travel into the headland last Monday spreading fertiliser leaving little marks behind. Probably would have got stuck in the same spot last year!

    Picture of a new drain for pipe and stone. Peat on top 6-12 inches above clay. Perfect for conventional stone and piped drain. Where to put it was obvious, straight through the rushes!

    I think so, there seems to be less surface water at least

    :D no but still end up buying 40 round bales , and the ould fella horsing rolled oats into them like it was going out of fashion .. i dread what the meal bill will come to :o and to be honest no need for it as there were in great nick anyhow ..they are probably in too good of nick if that makes since ... we were just lucky the calves out of the new bull are born small otherwise i dread the outcome :rolleyes:

    What height/covers are on the silage ground now? The reseeded silage ground by me has cone up very strong, maybe 2/3inchs below top of the welly (I wouldn't know what value of kg/ha to put on it 2bh), but another 15 acre field that is 20yrs old is well behind this, and it got similar slurry/fertilisers etc. We are 3wks away from cutting at the earliest I'd guess, depending on growth.
