Hello All

It has been a wee while since my last post as we have started making haylage so have been very busy mowing, then spreading out the grass to dry then raking it up, then baling it, then leading the bales back to the farm to wrap and stack. The days and weeks seem to just merge together at this time of year I'm never sure which day it is! We have also been spraying a lot of farmers crops with fungicides when the weather allows.

I am currently researching installing another haylage processing plant we have machinery which processes the large square bales made in field to 22kg packs that are ideal for people who have one to three horses. Our current plant will be at capacity the coming winter which concerns me should we have a major breakdown, I have the following options

1 Continue as we are possibly use a shift system
2 Purchase a secondhand machine to run alongside ours
3 Purchase a new machine to run alongside ours
4 Purchase a super duper mega machine which will replace ours and have low labour requirements

I will continue calculating the best option with my pad pencil and calculator!

On a lighter note my Labrador is about to have puppies hopefully this will be puppies and not puppy as she doesn't look very fat to me! She should have had them on Monday I'm getting most impatient waiting does anyone have any suggestions how to get them out faster??

Many thanks to everyone who has voted for me it really is much appreciated and your support is extremely gratifying.

See you soon
