    Any quotes for wrap. Got quoted 85/tool for silawrap. Bought it last year for 77 I think

    Bought the year's supply at 78 . About 6 weeks ago.

    Acorn Gold. Used it before with no issues.

    Think we gave 71 last year.

    tips of grass is Black in places this is the N at the tip of the leaf burning it. That is not a problem but it just indicates that grass is still not using up N in ground.

    I see plenty of ground around here with very little n and the grass is still black, place looked better in February

    It's more to do with the weather and poor nutrient take up, advisor reckons it's more phosphorus not being used than an N issue. If it was N in the actual plant there would be other issues.

    Plan is to Mow 1st silage here tomorrow after lunchtime.


    The "Dini" is booked in for reseeding in 10 days time




    Crop is heavy enough in places , but average enough in other places (hence the reseeding) Got 92units of N back 8 weeks ago and 2500G of pig slurry in Feb.

    Have you tested it for N. IMO for the last 55 days it hard to see average N used of 1.5/day. There could have been residual N from pig slurry as well.

    These are a must when you have a "dini" working on the farm. They are currently unavailable so there must be a few "dini's" around

    Is there any point in spreading fertiliser in this weather with the temperatures, wanted to spread some pasture sward, and cut sward on silage ground that got slurry 2 weeks ago.

    Only provisio is that you are not forecast more than 12-15 mm of rain in the 24 hours after spreading. This message especially applicable to hilly land as rain can wash the fertlizer into hollows below the sloped ground

    Are silage covers VAT reclaimable, same as more normal 'fixed' items?

    Can land reclamation work, charged at 13.5%, be claimed back for on the VAT58 form, anyone know?

    Land reclaimation - yes

    Section 3d is land improvement, and has a reclamation box (as well as draining and fencing)

    Black is excess oil in the plant because of the cold temperatures.has nothing to do with n content.

    I'd be interested in hearing Lakill's verdict on the fastrac for baling. I'd imagine the view of the pick up wouldn't be hectic but we'll see what he thinks himself.
    Will she be going on the wrapper and the McCormick back on the baler??

    View of the balers pickup is excellent based on watching George Saunders pov baling videos on youtube. Extra distance between the cab and hitch allows a better angle to see into it and there no obstruction from the tractor. Ideal baling tractor in that respect.

    How much does the recycle levy put on a roll?
    Wonder is there biodegradable manufactured? I know there is for the maize but it's about 50% dearer.
    No baling this week anyway.

    So we pay a recycling levy when we buy the roll and again when the plastic is collected in spring?


    Baler man buys wrap here, always has done so i leave him at it.
