    It will be another three weeks before we cut. No point us cutting when the growth has been so poor.

    Much the same with us. Although it's hard to gauge growth now when we were used to seeing little improvement in a few weeks.

    A few days though, let alone a week, makes a big difference this time of year, especially since temp rose.

    Baku, Azerbaijan actually :rolleyes: and sure what loss is on them? I wouldn't let them inside a farm gate though, let alone on a harvester! Can you imagine....?!?

    ......John and Edward watch on in amazement as the front of the 22' Kane reaches for the sky, dipping its load onto the dusty silage slab....

    Edward: OMG Johhhnnn! It's soooo green and.... ah ...grassy.. yeah!
    John: WOW Edward!.... [COUGH COUGH].... yeah it's totally awesome!

    :D
