hi everyone it's Jack here at Mainsgill thanks for tuning in again we're looking at the
youtube today so thanks for watching make sure you keep hitting that subscribe button
and we'll see how we do with these videos so what we are on with today is we are spreading till so
spreading fertilizer onto the fields so what we've got is we're putting nitrogen on to make it grow
uh we're using a new till sower just got it's an axis 40.2 weight so the w is for the weight
scales uh we're on the 155r john deere there it is weight block on the front to make sure we don't
tip up uh you can see it he's a bit mucky at the minute so what it is is just the wet gate all
i've just been through and done once that's why it's the mucky and here we are so we're gonna get
these bags put in now so we fill it up there you go Claire you want that so we're gonna fill it up
it holds five bags in this till sower so we've got first two here down a bit i'll put these in
there you go shake them out
make sure you get it all out dear enough this stuff you don't be
wasting it so there we go that's two so he's gonna go and get three more so we'll put five in here
fill it right up and then we'll go and do some fields so we are currently on with some silage
fields but we are doing silaging and grazing so your silaging land is the fields that we're
going to mow and then make that into silage to feed to the animals through the winter
and then the grazing ones are ones that the likes of ewes and lambs you've seen the cows and calves
and some store cattle which if we're growing on will be turned out onto and they'll be
put out into the field so they're the grazing fields so here he is just going for two more
he might get one we'll see what he gets
so these are on the trailer here these ones so what it is is we fetch these back from the
other farm because these sheds have all been full of sheep lambing so all the fertilizer
has been at the buildings at the other farm and that's where it's been undercover so
we're putting it in here now and we'll get it filled up and gone spread here it comes
lift it up
there we go we'll get one more and then we're away
so lastly that was a bit of a quick look at spreading the till putting the fertilizer
on i hope you've enjoyed watching so we've had the drone up so there should be a good video on
there hopefully and that's it so finally what we do once we finish spreading till
we make sure we wash off the till sower and the tractor straight away because the dust off the
fertilizers nasty stuff really and it can rot your machinery so we want to get it all washed
down make sure we get all this off that there is the dust off the fertilizer that makes everything
rusty so you make sure you get all that off and wash it down so when you get that done now
