In a week our farmers have virtually finished ploughing, harrowing and sowing as well as cut the hedges and it is not a small farm but hundreds of acres. Plus they contract combine and plough on farms far and wide.
So we delivered some essential equipment to some of the permanent hides and then had a zero checking afternoon on the rimfires and centrefires in a convenient safe spot. This was to allow Pat to use a range of ammo and guns on his new permission. Turns out the farmer on this farm went to school with our farmer. Small world eh and the way to get more permissions. Billy knows all the farmers roundabout and further afield and many only work on recommendations round here. Too many village yobbos
We had not long set up and Billy drives up with a harrow to do the field, stops and says I'm not spoiling your day am I! We said No and we would expect to move on if we were getting in their way. His daughter did the same the other week. Anyway when they are done and dusted we are going to run a clay pigeon shoot for them. We've had a few before and it helps them unwind after the Harvest Home.
