Life at Scotland farm

The lambs and mothers have arrived. In a lovely spring day enjoying the orchard in front of the house. My children will love waking up to the sight of lambs. 

Thank you to Dudley and Edward for lending me there sheep.

Beet drilling

Started drilling today beet at Westwick Park. 

Our new Horsch drill in action, 12 row at 50 cm. Can be used for drilling direct, maize  sorghum and mustard. Lovely to have the challengers out cultivating with the 12 metre Dalbo. Two passes and we have nice sugar beet seedbeds.
