A local country walk which on this occasion the weather was fine and very warm with little wind.
It is also the time for farming activity to increase especially sowing crops.
Much jibing and sarcasm is often expressed by the less well informed about farm work, in particular Tractor driving. One should consider if there were no Tractor Drivers, there would be not much food produced.

It is certainly a little different from the Fordson Major available in the 1950 to 60 decade.

The Barley crop is tall now resulting from the wet and warm weather recently.

There appears to be a considerable amount of the Maize Crop being grown this year.
I can't see them letting a twelve-year-old loose on the new-fangled tackle they have nowadays.
ReplyDeleteNo, probably not John, although he would probably crack the computer side of it.
