Today the seed arrived for our first planting!!3.8 tonnes of seed grain ( triticale prime 322 - for those who care / some weird grain that goes into feed mixes - for those who don't)!
The seed had to be run through this machine which sorts the good from any chaff & rubbish that was let through the header at harvest. Then a fungicide powder was added to protect it during storage & then up the auger ( no this one isn't ours ) into our silo!! - lots of big boys toys! The whole process only took an hour. Now we just need to wait for May to Mid-June for planting.
Here is the beautiful grain, straight from the truck!
We did a spot of silo climbing - no we didn't get to the top! (sorry about the bad lighting - the silo in the sun was being used)
Yes mum, I am looking after her!!
