\t\t\t\t\tThe summer has come to an end and we\u2019ve had lots of happy guests stay on the farm. We hope everyone had a relaxing stay on the Isle of Wight! Lots of people wishing they could stay longer... Well, we will see a lot of you next year I am sure!\u00a0\"\"\ud83d\ude03<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an extremely busy summer at the farm, hence the lack of photos and posts of what is going on!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hay making was a breeze this year! Never had such a dry summer, for once hay making and harvest didn\u2019t overlap... Yields were down, no doubt due to the wet spring and extremely dry summer.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Harvest went well, although again drought meant the yields were down.<\/p>\n

We could really have done with some rain through June and July, if we are being picky! It meant we have had to feed a lot of extra food to the cattle as there was no grass. Putting a dent into our winter feed stock.<\/p>\n

Another project was completed this summer, with the boys managing to erect a new 60ftx40ft hay\/straw barn. Exciting times... (somewhere for Luke to park his new tractor)\u00a0\"\"\ud83d\ude09\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, into autumn now, preparing the fields to be re-sown, tidy the farm up, get the hedges cut.
