Our posts crossed suse, just said it may have been his habit at harvest time to stay over as it would be an early start, am sure June cooked a big breakfast and they all got going by 6am or maybe earlier?
If he went back then at about 9 or 10 ish he allegedly called Julie - so he must have called her from WHF then ? Or again she was not telling the truth. Or he went home - called her then went back to WHF ? who knows.
Maggie I remember we discussed this before and Jane J said they started at 8 a.m but you could be right who am I say otherwise. Did he not have bacon in his fridge. I know in this area they don't start too early have to make sure the crop his dry but they work till well into the night.
They certainly work late round here steph, it's only hay and silage as it's all dairy farming but have seen them still bringing it in under lights at 11 pm.... depends on the weather and if they are trying to beat the rain coming in.

Maggie they work late round here as well but have not known them to start before 8 a.m think the crop maybe slightly damp early morning oh heck I will never make a farmer
They start early and work late here.
All the farmers I know use every moment of daylight from sunrise onwards and the sun rises VERY early in August. Farm implements often have banks of lights so they can carry on working as long as necessary.
Sorry Jane I must have been mistaken I felt sure you said they started at 8 a.m.when we discussed this before,
Think you'll find it was Tyler who said it from her own experience. From my experience they start MUCH earlier. There's an old saying "Make hay whilst the sun shines" and they do because they never know when it might stop shining.
Nor me suse, it's my idea of hell I know at silage making they work their socks of day and night and take on any local help they can get, however WHF was arable so they would be harvesting their crops which may be different.
