Farm Diary by Gwyn Jones
A window of opportunity appeared on Friday morning and I took a very deep breath and allowed the silage contractors to cut the grass.
By Saturday night they had cut the lot '“ all 435 acres of it! Half of it had been spread, and they had started rowing up, ready for the forager on Sunday morning.
Both days were fine with sunshine, but there was a distinct smell of rain on Friday night, and on Saturday afternoon, which was worrying to say the least.
By midnight on Sunday they have picked up over half of it and I am resigned to the fact that it is going to rain today.
