1. Some thing similar- I found this last winter on a field where belly grass had been spread recently. You will often find bits of plastic in the belly grass bound into balls from been inside the cattle. This one had six different types of plastic in it. Baler twine, polly wire, net rap, bale plastic, silage pit plastic and nylon rope. I would love to see the yard that animal came out of.

Is that one of the shores you put in last year , across the road ? Jobs a goodun :Thumbp2:.

Imagine the harm it would be doing if it wasnt flowing.

Ya that's the spot. That shore never stopped running during the drought last summer. Was trickling away

Jasus if you go that deep for a road foundation the NRA won’t bring you in any time soon. Ha

Good enough. Surprised how well it is this week after the rain. All full loads coming out. A few days will finish us up

Flowering is finished and the fruit is now set, this is one of the non commercial house trees with small fruit on it, had some late frosts and cold conditions that stunted the flowering but still not to bad than other mango farms in the area.

How do you manage tramlines etc when sowing with 2 drills? Start with one stroke in the middle of the field and either drill works off it towards opposite sides of the field?

I’d say both are on auto steer or even one is, the tractor on autosteer can put in the tramlines and the other sows away between them, well that’s we did it last backend

Usually just one puts the tramlines in, if you're on 3 mtr drill 24m tramlines it's every 8th run so as long as the drills stay in the same order tramlines become every 4th run
