We made the most of the short spell of hot weather and managed to cut one field for small-bale haylage, as it’s still too early to make hay as the spring has been cold, which had held the grass back..

2026 servicing is well underway in preparation for the upcoming hay season. A couple of issues were identified, with the only major finding being a missing auger chain tensioning sprocket. All chains have been tensioned and oiled, all greasing points greased, gearbox oil checked, and the plunger timing and knotters inspected.
We just need the weather now🤞

It’s not all about making hay and haylage.
When the season ends, the maintenance season begins: servicing and looking at ways to squeeze a little more efficiency.
Our first winter workshop was to make and fit a hydraulic bale sledge release, as we found pulling on a long rope hard work and, at times, it slowed down our baling. We had the vision and the know how, but not the machinery or tools to see it through. That’s where “Old school Engineering comes into play”. It always starts the same way: a vision, a weetabix box, a ruler, and a pen, from there, the sketch becomes steel, and the idea takes shape.
The main ingredients: a piece of 100 × 10 mild steel plate, a spring return hydraulic ram, a ruler, pen, scribe, hacksaw, vice, and a file.
Hopefully, the photos will explain how its all unfolding..
I will post a photo of it finished and all sprayed up..

Editorial from the Horse & Hound 04/09/25.
BHS director of horse care and welfare Gemma Stanford told H&H: “Unfortunately, the pressures of a dry, hot summer are leading to having to feed hay already. We understand the concerns this raises, especially as farmers have no choice but to increase hay prices.
“Our advice is to plan ahead and take action now to make sure supplies are maintained as well as maximised. Being prepared now could go a long way in the months ahead.”
Will Field, who helps his son Eddie run supplier Sarngoch Farm in Carmarthenshire, had good spring rainfall so a very good yield, although the heat dried three fields intended for 1,000 bales of haylage into hay by the day after it was mown. But owing to conditions elsewhere, he has been transporting further than ever.
“I had a guy on the phone who said he’d pay whatever it cost,” he told H&H. “He’s happy as he’s got what he needs.”

Mr Field said he is having enquiries from as far away as Hampshire and Sussex but that he will ensure he keeps enough for his regular local clients.
“Our carefully produced hay and haylage usually serves loyal and select clientele closer to home,” he said. “This demonstrates not only the demand for high-quality forage but also how shifting weather conditions have reshaped supply and demand across regions.”

We had someone come and visit the farm last week, while poo picking, they were amazed at the number of tiny shell like bugs in the horse poo, as well as the colour of the adult bug.

Here are some interesting facts:

The Dung Beetel AKA “Tumblebugs”

Dung Beetle:

Dung beetles play an important and remarkable role in the pasture ecosystem. While they feed on manure and use it to provide housing and food for their young, they are also improving nutrient cycling, soil structure, and forage growth.

Relative to its size, the dung beetle is not only the strongest insect in the world but the strongest animal. It can pull over 1,000 times its own body weight.
