Harvest Update

9 August 2011

Harvest has progressed well and is all but in.  Neil took some lovely photos of the straw bales, which were baled yesterday, on the 70 acre.

The hay too has been baled, 27 large round bales this year which is half the amount of the best hay crop from the same field achieved a number of years ago. The ewes and ewe lambs were moved on to the hayfield on the 31st July and relished their new surroundings by making straight for the apple tree boughs overhanging the fenceline.
