Commercial Trails

I took this photo Saturday afternoon (31st Jan) while chasing a few Zebras out of the field, the foreground is fallow that will be planted in March to Barley, the background are commercial size trails/seed increase blocks (peas and Mung beans).
From Left there is 320 ha of Barley, then 9.6 ha of KS20 Green Grams (Mung Beans) then the more ripe strip is Field peas (4.6 ha), then N26 Mung Beans (9.4 ha), then a hybrid Sunflower (4.4 ha) then on the far right is a hybrid Maize (4.2ha). If you click on the photo you will get a better look.

Our Little Girl Gets Married




 

Our Shed/Workshop


We built our machinery shed/workshop/office out of local cut stones/cement and steel, it is the first building that I have ever built, obviously I did not do the doing and don't look to close as it is not perfect, it does do the job though.  I may have gotten a bit exited about safety yellow I think.
