  • Airfield Estate And Farm

    Airfield Estate And Farm

    And now for something completely different. Myself and herself had time to kill last week and while yours truly would’ve been far more enamored, initially at least, with the prospect of going harvest spotting, once the word ‘Farm’ was mentioned in the description of the intended venue she had me won over. This, however, was…

    Larry Hogarty’s team cutting Spring Barley for Tommy Leonard of Mount Thunder, Confey, Co Kildare. Seamus Maguire in the New Holland CX 8030, Paul Hughes with a John Deere 6175M and two Broughan trailers drawing to Tara Farms Ltd. Filmed by Susan M. Kiernan. A huge word of thanks to all concerned.

  • Back In My Special Place

    This was filmed on the same day we were out with Tara Farms at the harvest. An emotional trip back to our own farm. I had been back once since da passed away but it was both nice and strange to actually get a bit of work going over there again. The whole place got…

    Cutting Spring Barley

    Andrew Clarke cutting a good crop a Spring Barley in Dunboyne, Co Meath with a new (to them) Claas Lexion 760 TerraTrek combine. His dad, Pat, was on drawing duties with their Massey Ferguson 7618 and a pair of Redrock grain trailers. A huge word of thanks to the lads, as always for the heads…

  • Tara Farms Wheat Harvest 2021

    Tara Farms Wheat Harvest 2021

    The idea of a Bucket List is not something this corner would buy into but it would be openly admitted that a long held ambition got fulfiled today when with the help of the good lady I got to spend a few hours out with the Tara Farms crew for the first time in 27…

  • The Week On Wheels – Vlog 2

    The Week On Wheels – Vlog 2

    It’s all about the land this week, great to get out and about in the current exceptional weather. Firstly in my most beloved spot outside of my own as the Clarkes deal with a good looking crop of Winter Oats. Then, in the evening time, it was off out to visit one of my carers,…

  • Making tracks – Harvest 2021 Is Away!

    Making tracks – Harvest 2021 Is Away!

    Forget about Christmas, for me days like today are the magical ones in the year – Harvest 2021 is up and running. Out with the Clarke family once again as they tackle 20+ acres of Winter Barley with their new Claas Lexion 670 TerraTrac. On drawing duties were a Deutz Fahr 6210 and a John…

    Chats And Clips

    There’s a little bit of everything in this overdue catch-up, from wheelchair repairs, to poignant haymaking and woodwork and teasers about more exciting stuff to come.

  • I’ve met some folks who say that I’m a dreamer but I’m only human

    You will no doubt have noticed that all of the words contained in the above headline are in fact lyrics of well known songs. Truth be told, when this offering was fermenting in the production laboratory up top, temptation was to also point out what a difference a day can make. Except regrettably there was…

  • Machinery Preparation and What’s In The Pipeline

    Machinery Preparation and What’s In The Pipeline

    As many of you will know by now, life has improved immeasurably since acquiring the assistance of a new care company earlier this year. It’s not just in terms of the ‘normal’ issues Personal Assistants usually offer help with. As evidenced by today’s afternoon call which saw very useful modifications carried out in the shed…
