Another load. This is second cut that we would normally cut Aug 1 but with dry we need more good quality to keep milkers going
How soon should you wait for bales to ferment.
We are going through a lot at the moment and looks like that will double next week as put farm losing grass at the moment with parts starting to burn

I would leave bales a few minute before feeding:D. The same goes for wholecrop/maize/crimp, 90% of the silage I made 35days ago is gone:rolleyes: hence I best get my second cut haggard done this weekend

The neighbour told me to take away this old trailer chassis that was in his way, meant to bring for scrap but never got the time, glad I didnt now as its serving a very handy purpose here on some rented ground.

I don't know........yet:)
Last yr it was august before the weather dried up enough to till it, it was only about knee high, previous to that I always got a good crop from sowing in July.
I reckon anything that appeared above ground in the last month is getting toasted this week.

Wouldnt say that this was sowed the 15 june seems to be motoring oksy

For the weather we are having. Got a few bits baled on Friday.

Silage rowed for the morning. It's light enough so have 15ft swarths.

Nice shaped windrows. Were they made with the pz360 Reilig?

Here in America people raise cows, not very many people raise sheep or goats. Around Nov. to Jan. they raise turkey's and hens. The milk cows are injected with chemicals to produce more milk and people drink that, the vegetables and fruit are sprayed with chemicals to keep bugs off them and people eat that; you can wash them with soap and water as well as scrub them with a brush but scientist and doctors will tell you that there is still 10-15% of the chemicals still left on there. The chemicals they spray over the grass to keep weeds from growing in there and to produce more grass the cows eat that and you eat the cows. We have known to have some sick cows and some e-cola in our food that is sold in the stores.

My husband and I grow our own garden and we do everything natural, no chemicals and we spray soap and water on our plants it is an old remedy that seems to work to keep bugs off our plants.

I never ate lamb but tried it one day because God tells us to sacrifice the lamb and he also tells us to eat it. I thought it was very good and could not get enough of it but it is VERY expensive here in America. It cost $1 a pound. My husband I live in an a RV trailer and we own it so we rent a lot and cannot raise our own animals. But can grow our own garden.

I do have a question for you, my family came from Ireland, Scotland and Germany. I have gone back so far 500 years and have come to a stopping point so my mothers distant grandparents may have come to America farther than that.
I have studied some cultures of Ireland, religion, dress codes, dances. I was wondering if things are still the same.

When a woman dates is it the like the old custom ways they have to date for several months before the man can propose?

And when the woman gets married her inheritance goes with her but the man owns it all?

Last question my husband is Irish but he doesn't know if he has any other blood in him because he has never done his gemology. He can eat hot peppers off the vine and we buy the hottest peppers in the store nothing bothers him. They seem to help his allergies. So can Irish people eat hot peppers?
I know they can hold their liquor, just like German's and Scottish. My grandfather was full German and he drinked nothing but moonshine and held it well until late at night.

An issue has been brought to our attention regarding vehicle registration numbers visible in photographs, where the criminally inclined trawl the Internet looking for vehicles similar to their own, clone the number plates, and head off merrily accruing penalty points, not paying toll fees, and leaving filling stations without paying, leaving the unfortunate owner of the genuine vehicle having to deal with the Gardaí as they investigate these matters.
This is likely much more of an issue on the big car selling websites, but it might be good practice to either obscure the number plate or not include it in the first place if you post a picture of your vehicle here.
Obviously, don't post such details of other peoples' vehicles.

We've modified the forum Charter regarding this and a couple of other items to do with photographs/scans, see HERE.

If anyone want any of their old photos deleted, give the mods a shout by PM.

My husband I rent a lot in an RV park we cannot have farm animals on the owners park, dogs are to stay in doors, they will allow you to have a small garden or plants in pots in your yard. But no farm animals.

My husband and I are planting 4 fruit trees in our lot and we dream to buy our own lot so we can grow our own fruit trees, farm and have some chickens where we can sell some of the fruit, vegetables, some baby chicks and eggs as well as eat what we grow.
