In 2021 our 1960's Combine Harvester, Chantelle, caught fire, our Oats were a little damp, our Bale Sledge didn't slide and our eldest son Rupert ate all the blackberries!
Last year we harvested 60 tons of Winter Oats and baled 2000 small bales, before planting Winter Barley to be harvested this summer alongside a newly establishing Wildflower Meadow.
Over time the Old Man has acquired a range of eclectic and well-tested farm machinery, and this was our chance to put it to the test!
It isn't sensible for us to buy entirely new or more modern equipment considering the size of our land parcel and our long term aims to move toward environmental land management as part of DEFRA's countryside stewardship goals, so it was time to knuckle down and farm like its 1960!
