More bin bags than brain cells it would seem. Humans are the most disgusting animals in the world. Change my mind!

Here’s my Peer review of harvest 2023! #over&out #onetoforget

[Richard Yates 🇬🇧 @RichardYates92]

Wheat at 16.1%, that’s going straight in my basket!

An image that probably hasn’t altered much in 300 years. The Belvoir hounds out on exercise this morning at the foot of the castle. #BelvoirEstate

Taking the opportunity to do some post em Pea rolling before the weather inevitably breaks again. #FenPeas #BelvoirEstate

Nice to see the vines bearing fruit. Coming to a Bargain Booze near you. #BelvoirCastle #BelvoirEstate

And people say sheep are daft! Seem to have the right idea today. #scorching

[Richard Yates 🇬🇧 @RichardYates92]

Of all the Potato plants I could pick to dig, I pick the one with a birds nest in it! (Disclaimer for Chris Packhams lawyers) “I retracted the fork and did not dig the plant up!” #Potatoes #ElvedenFarms

Beet looks a treat today. Very handy when there’s an irrigation reservoir 100m behind me…….#britishsugar #sugarbeet #harvest2022 #ElvedenFarms

Rain, rainbows, sunshine and spuds. About sums it up at the moment. #ElvedenFarms #potatoes #springwork #harvest2022

Onions done and dusted 🧅. Sugar beet up and running. Making the most of it whilst the sun shines. #ElvedenFarms #onions #sugarbeet #harvest2022 #BeetnotBeergardens

@KWSUKLtd Parkin, drilled after salad potatoes absolutely storming along in the sunshine. T0 applied 10 days ago and it won’t be long before it’s demanding it’s T1 by the looks of it. #ElvedenFarms #KWS #WinterWheat #anychanceofaTbreak

This is better then carrying a bag of seed and a rake! A brilliant machine from @McConnelPower machinery helping us get this reservoir bank tidied up and seeded. #robotwars

@nickpeters1989 @HORSCHUK @claas_anglia Still sitting on the fence Nick. Both very good drills in there own right. Can’t see me getting rid of the sprinter just yet though.

[Richard Yates 🇬🇧 @RichardYates92]

Are you a leg or a disc man? Managed to slot in a nice demo of the @HORSCHUK Avatar drill. Chalk and Cheese compared to the trusty Sprinter. Will be interesting to see the results side by side. Big thanks to @claas_anglia to get it to us before the rain arrived. #ElvedenFarms

[Richard Yates 🇬🇧 @RichardYates92]

Giving it the Beans before it rains. #ElvedenFarms #Mrbean

HARVEST RECRUITS REQUIRED. Previous harvest and machinery experience advantageous. The ability to operate a washing machine and to be able to stock control a lunch box, essential! All retweets welcome & greatly appreciated. #ElvedenFarms #Harvest2022 #recruitment @ElvedenFarmer
