@LeverettFarming @wcain1995 @AndrewJardine2 Lunchtime would be best for us but it ruins the day so we’ve modified it to suit ourselves

@wcain1995 @LeverettFarming @AndrewJardine2 We did a full season of 10in7 with our spring block in 23 lost more milk than I expected the 2 long breaks on the weekend seemed to hit them and take most of the week to recover so we’re now nearer to 3in2 (5am-4pm-9am) they seem to be happy on that and litres remain steady

Just had our 1st delivery of honey produced on our meadow! Chief tasters (the kids) say it’s the best honey they’ve ever tasted! Good luck to Linda and Tom that have the bees here in their venture!

Beautiful afternoon to be #farming

Early morning grass measure under moody skies. Growth has increased to 45 from 38 still not great but moving in the right direction dry weather really knocked it for a few weeks. Some more rain would be appreciated.

@timgloverash I think you should be clear that the contractor that moved it (pictured) isn’t the contractor that has left it there and was probably only contracted to move it a few yards?
