The Spring barley harvest finished for 2021 with barley for Irish Distillers, 3 sparrow hawks gave the evening hunting between the rows of straw for their dinner. A nice end to a memorable harvest.

Spraying off winter barley stubbles and there is a nice few wild/weed beet visible. This field last grew sugar beet in 2005 and there was a nice few present at the Time if I recall. I wonder what mess we would have by now if the sugar beet industry stayed going?

Planted 330 of these today, nothing to do with saving the planet or looking for high 5’s but 100% because my wife pestered me for months to plant a hedge. Jaysus Some hardship.

It’s that time of the year when the pressure is off and things start to come together and look towards the Harvest and time frees up for a few weeks. the wife complains less about the state of the lawn and the child begins to recognise me as I’m home earlier.Pints tonight it is..

I’ll hardly make mass this morning but it’s grand as the big man above wants to get this integral barley planted as much as I do

Calving cows, spraying integral winter barley and no hangover on a bank holiday Sunday. True Irish mixed farming, there is not many of us left.

Harvesting some enya spring oats for seed. Seems a nice variety, yielding well despite being sown the 21st of April which we felt was a month too late.

Winter barley #harvest25 over, it was a pleasure, low moistures and high quality. The sun sets across the river bride valley. Hope the rest of the harvest goes as well and is as enjoyable. The only issue is the cows haven’t a blade of grass with the drought.
