A little farm update from The Spud Barn! 🚜🥔
It might have been our earliest harvest finish yet, but that certainly doesn’t mean we’ve been putting our feet up!
With all the potatoes safely in the cold store, there’s been plenty keeping us busy. After the significant heat we’ve had throughout the growing season, getting those spuds down to temperature has taken a little more work than usual. Although, on the plus side, David has managed to wear his shorts for the entire season… a first for him!
Elsewhere on the farm, we’ve been drilling winter cereals, welcoming some much-needed rainfall, testing fields for PCN and soil fertility, and getting the harvester cleaned down ready for another year.
Meanwhile, it’s been all go at The Spud Barn, with plenty of potatoes being bagged and delivered. We even made our first delivery down near Wolverhampton recently, which was a lovely milestone for us!
And as for Ross? He’s swapped Lincolnshire for Australia, where he’s currently driving a combine with a rather impressive 60-foot header! 🇦🇺
You might think David would be feeling the pressure with Ross away, but according to him, farm life has been relatively stress-free without him… we’ll let Ross make of that what he will! 😂
So, harvest might be wrapped up, but there’s never really a quiet season on the farm.
Keep following along for more updates from life at The Spud Barn! 🌾
