Another harvesting process

An alternative to grass and silage is wholecrop silage. This is where a wheat crop is harvested early whilst the grain is still soft. The entire crop, straw and all (hence the name wholecrop) is mown off, chopped into small pieces, and then carted to the farm, and stored in a large pit. The air is excluded as with grass silage using plastic sheeting which is weighed down.



The crop then ferments and produces a high protein version of silage suitable for dairy cows. This video shows the forage harvester, with special attachments for cutting, in action.

Hens Spring into action!

The severe cold weather and long period of snow in Decemeber here in the Peak District meant that most of the hens on our farms stopped laying eggs. Fortunately the nights are drawing out and our free range hens are back in full production.

Here you can see some beautiful copper and silver Maran hens. Nothing delights Elspeth's grandaughter more than to feed the hens, who come running to meet her, and then to collect the dark brown eggs, still warm, from the nest box.
