My name is Garrett Headon. We grow a range of combinable crops alongside heritage barley which we then malt on our own farm at Athgarrett, County Kildare.

So if October drilling is for losers, November drilling must be for real champions 😅. Fantastic conditions despite the time of year and sure somebody has to keep the crows fed! 🐦‍⬛ 🌾

Having sown only 6 acres this week due to near constant rain we bit the bullet and deployed the wet weather drill with all the advantages and disadvantages that brings! Good for the nerves to be getting something done!

This JCB camera was quoted at a crazy €670 to replace. So I found this adapter cable for €85 which allowed me to plug in an ordinary Durite camera costing approx €80. A good saving but if the OEM camera is so fancy it shouldn’t have failed in the first place!!

Screening away on crop ‘25 as crop ‘26 ripens in the field. This is a customers grain which we have taken in and cleaned, malted a proportion of, then bagged and palletised ready to send out to their distillery.

Mr Franciosy from @Macdon called in to see us today. You’d never guess I had just completely bunged the dfr rotor in the combine right as he drove into the field. Photographers curse or something like that🥴
