Another great update 👍, nice bit of ditching there, nice to see a week without rain, and getting slightly dryer.

[@JDautopower]

Thanks 😊. Like to see a nice clean ditch! Fingers crossed it stays dry, drying nicely now, especially as it comes colder.

Good video, never seen controls of tree harvester before. Take a while to get used to it , I bet.

[@JDautopower]

Thanks. Yes there’s a lot to take on the controls to the tree harvester.

Great Saturday viewing again about your latest activities on the farm. At least it's not pouring down rain in this episode. I was thinking that it would be a good idea to start growing webbed feet if it didn't stop raining soon. That ROPA is some machine when you watch it working, all the wheels running on different ground to spread the weight of it in soft conditions.

[@JDautopower]

Thank you. It does make a nice change for it to be dry, long may it continue! The beet manufactures have certainly thought about ground compaction with how they travel down the field.

When you cleared the ditch did the water level drop much?

[@JDautopower]

It started to, but it was flowing into a pumped drain into a river, overnight I saw the biggest difference in levels, definitely dropping 😊

[@ski7470]

Thanks for the reply, when you say it is a pumped drain, why is it pumped and what is it pumped into?

[@JDautopower]

Basically the land is lower than sea level, so so a system of dykes flow into a big drain, large dyke basically, which is at the side of a river, the water is pumped “uphill” into the river, which keeps the water table down where fields are. Hope this explains it.
