Silage 2018

[Peter]

I thought HC had packed in the silage contracting, or at least that was what the jungle telegraph was saying. HC's missus and an uncle of mine's missus would be sisters.

He only does 3 or 4 jobs now but he has cut back on the jobs he was cutting on the past few years. In his day he cut a lot of silage. I reckon that I was the youngest driver there by around 40 years.

Oh aye, I heard there was a stately mansion for sale that would befit a man of your standing. Supposedly needs a few quid spent refurbishing it. Just so all the other members know what we're on about https://www.myhome.ie/residential/b...c-50-acres-milford-carlow-town-carlow/4241831
Nice place around there, I was over that way last night on the bicycle.

It wouldn't suit Bog Man, there is no tillage there!

Meals on wheels

A few more from the high country

The cattle nearly need a longer pair of legs for the downhill side

View from the office, no place to be falling asleep

It fitted up so it should fit back down.

I was waiting for the one with the wind turbine .
Anyhow I'm in the high country myself today .

I don't think he was effected by the fodder shortage. :eek3::eek3:

Last 100 of first cut wrapped up tonight. Never been done so early or so easy. The old man remarked last night as our contractor baled up land that we bought that 30 years ago the people that we bought it from would spend 2 weeks putting the 4 fields into laps and then into cocks of hay, pulling buts and tieing them down never having it in the shed until mid September.

Contractor was through it in an hour.
