Got the maize out yesterday and grass seed going back in today with 2 runs of the disc harrow, it's rare that we get off this easy this late in October. My only drama was I fooked up my pit calculations and didn't leave enough room for the maize, sky high messy pit as a result.

Hope the grass works for ya. Bit late bit you might be lucky

Never not got away with an October reseed here, rarely have much frost in nov. That's a reasonably heavy field (by our pathetic East Coast standards), so I'll happily take the opportunity to reseed now rather that have to wait till May if its a wet spring.

And mooo I have too much fodder as is, and basically zero demand for any here in East Wicklow this year, I'd be wasting my time bagging it.

By bagging it I meant the bagpress thing samco have as a means of storing it. There can be a fair chunk of waste from a pit that gets too big. You could feed out of it when you need smaller amounts and keep the pit over then.

The morning was stunning. Fog burned off nicely. Got away for a lovely family cycle, back home and last cut of the year on the lawn.

Wet wet wet

Can I ask how you find out the rainfall figures?

Get a rainfall gauge, less than 10e. Vital bit of equipment for every farmer in my view.

On the weather front, back to some sort of normality tonight, and cows all back out and happy enough. Had to on off graze the last 24hrs, and juggle only just having enough feed space, and cubicles for less than half the milkers. Grazing largely done for the year, the regrowths just not been there last 3wks, and pregraze covers only 800. I'll ration out the final 40% but will be 90% an indoor diet. Would of been nice to stay going longer, but it is what it is, overall has been a fantastic year here for grass growth, despite the wet February, and very dry June.

Definitely not.....we had a ****load of rain all day yesterday and the previous night.....lovely Autumn day today and lots more rain arriving again tonight.

It's hard to believe that a storm is on the way, we had a beautiful day here too with plenty of sunshine.

Yeah savage evening here

Calm before the Storm.

There's two or three days of very windy weather coming up before the high pressure next week.

It's supposed to be particularly bad here tomorrow morning.
All ye in the Midlands will be wondering what the fuss is about.
