Day 81..
'School trip'
Today we went off to the grassland and muck event at stoneleigh park, for live demonstrations of all the latest tech, from tractors and hay rakers to combine harvesters and bale wrappers! All the big name brands were on hand to show off their big and shiny agricultural machinery including jcb, class, massey ferguson and krone, with plenty of stands to walk round too!
There was also a live forum area with various talks throughout the day, and I enjoyed the 'getting more meat from grass talk' presented by an eblex representative and a beef producer from somerset! Basically, the longer you retain the best possible grass the better for the animal and the pocket!!! It's all about grassland management and the importance of it!
No shopping for me I'm afraid, I'm one of those poor farmers ;-) - but did manage to acquire a few new pens!
