July

Most of July has been spent waiting for it to stop raining! We had to bring all the cows inside as they were poaching the field (meaning that it was getting very muddy!). They have been in for most of July eating all the winter food rations.

We cut grass to make hay and this has been spoilt and lost some of its nutrient content so the cattle will need more of it in the winter to be satisfied. Hopefully we will be able to bale the hay soon!

The rain has precluded us from working on the farm and has been slowly turning the corn a nice light brown colour than a golden colour!

Hopefully we will be able to get the hay baled and start the harvest!
