kickstart Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 [/q That looks a bit green, was it ripe? I bet he was putting a lot of corn out the back of the combine,not thrashing it properly. Our local cows would like the straw ,it looks more like hay. Good phots. KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron19 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 [/q That looks a bit green, was it ripe? I bet he was putting a lot of corn out the back of the combine,not thrashing it properly. Our local cows would like the straw ,it looks more like hay. Good phots. KS Yes it does look green but the rice was actually ripe,Under the best conditions it is estimated that still aound 20% of the rice will go out the back.When you look at a rice paddy that has been harvested and remains wet,after a period it would not be hard to believe that figure is correct.Most likely it's the same in most areas like ours that the straw is baled and I imagined sold for stock feed.

David48 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'm back... RBH .. how do you control the grass on the pond wall? At the Farm Ma and Pa Farmer don't have grass and this has the duel effect is that the raised wall weathers and also, over time, reduces in height because of this weathering.

The way my ponds grasses are trim... leave half a metre from the pond's edges, my standing order to the team. Grass clipping in the pond is a hassle as it will stuck up and block the suction head grill of the long tail pipe during pumping out. Catfish don't eat grasses/weeds.

Popular Post Ron19 Posted December 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2013 Cutting trees down and to length on a Eucalyptus plantation. The 1st image shows a woman putting a small piece of wood with a rope tied onto it in the middle ( like a T piece) and placing it in a fork high up and using a long bamboo pole to manipulate it so it wont come out when pulled,The man is using a chainsaw to cut the previous one felled into the required length.They had to use this method to fell the ones along a fence line . Here the woman is pulling the rope while the man is cutting off at the base. Here it comes. Here they are cutting to length and stacking them ready for transport. I noticed they were back there this morning picking out all the thinner branches down to finger size. trimming and stacking them ready for transport so there must be a market for those as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
