The Changing Of The Seasons
A glimpse of old Dunboyne and new co-existing side by side as Connor and Andrew Clarke start next year’s crops off in the middle of the local industrial estate not long after their Claas Lexion 650 combine had devoured a crop of OSR in the same field. At work are a Deutz Fahr 6210 with…
