Yes even up here in a rural area it is hard to keep away from them.I felt it was better to leave them in rather than chop the tops off the trees.You would have seen what it is like in bangkok and in fact all over thailand.They are a part of the local scenery where ever you go so I feel that they should be left in and in some cases they make for a picture of their own such as the linesmen walking along them and better them than I.

Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Some of you may remember that I posted some photos of a young man turning over the top soil at my families rubbers farm.The young mans father also came to watch his Son working,he asked me if I would like to have a look at his Son's farm whilst his Son was working. It was not a very big plot of land....but it sure had a varied mixture of different crops ranging from cassava,chiles,peanuts,rice,rubber trees,papaya,bananas and sunflowers.

Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2013 Small scale Isaan dairy farm. A while ago I found out that there were some dairy farms not too far away from our home. Coming from a small town in England surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales and having found memories of my first girlfriend, who's father was a dairy farmer....I just had to go and have a look for myself.

Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2013 And to make milk you of course need cows. The one in the middle with a broken horn is a bull......so I guess it's not just a dairy farm A couple of the little ones. Will have to wait a wee bit longer before they can get any milk out of this one !!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Mate, that Dairy herd looks in good condition. What was their feed regime, if you know. Just pasture fed? If so ... just grass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy1969 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Mate, that Dairy herd looks in good condition. What was their feed regime, if you know. Just pasture fed? If so ... just grass? There was a small pasture behind the sheltered area but it was not big enough to sustain the herd full time. The farmer said that he would go and cut grass from the neighbouring fields and when they were milked he would give additional pellets.Whilst we were there someone pulled up with an Etan full of what looked like pulped root vegetables of some kind,I can't remember the name of it now.....will ask the boss later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron19 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) !st shot out of one of my new cameras which is a sony DSC-W730 and will be used as my pocket camera.There is some blurr in it but dont blame it on the camera.I was holding onto a restless dog with the other hand and he was being a real prick. The second camera is a Sony A58 DSLR and that is expected sometime in the next week. Edited December 9, 2013 by Ron19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Naam Posted December 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2013 Mate (Shags), any thoughts of heading back to Thailand again soon? Just in-case the tread goes quiet ... as I know it's difficult/impossible for you to get Internet at the Farm which will upload the magnificent photos! Thankfully I am heading back home next week. As much as I enjoy TVF and the different forums,whenever I am home the internet is the last thing on my mind (no disrespect to you guys). My time with my family is too precious to be using it up sitting behind a computer. "Just in-case the thread goes quiet" if that happens David then maybe I will need to re evaluate continuing with posting myself......It may be a good way to judge if it has run it's length of time or whether people still enjoy posting and looking at the photos. how dare you Shaggy! another insult like this and i will demand your appearance sunday morning at dawn in my front garden, reference "heavy sabres (no armour) till blood flows freely!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is used a lot round here a pick load will come to your farm with up to 4 ton on board. Got to say Shaggy, yet again very good photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
