Someone accidentally fertilised our two big fields this weekend. They'd told the contractor "second gate on the right" and contractor took the wrong turning and found the wrong second gate - already finished by the time my neighbour went out to see what the big tractor was doing.
Obviously nothing to be done now, can't take it back up again! I'm not really sure how I feel about it TBH.
On the one hand, I've just got probably over 100 of bagged manure spread on my land for free. These are the fields I get cut for hay, so that may translate into some extra money once the crop is in as I never need all of it. It may also mean less spraying of thistles, as taking the hay each year and not putting anything back probably doesn't help with the weeds.
On the flip side I have massively good doers, one of which went down with laminitis for the first time this winter during the snow. So extra fertiliser on their winter fields is maybe not ideal.
Kind of a pointless post, but how would you feel? Pleased or a bit annoyed.
