The August bank holiday weekend was quiet for us as we had no show and a nice chance to catch our breath, as the farm had been busy during the week. CCS contracting were in picking up silage in perfect weather conditions.Â
The crew always give a really efficient service and gave us a hand covering the pit before they left. It is reassuring to have all that work completed and our silage pit seems considerably bigger than last year with just enough room to fit the maize silage on the slab.Â
