With the drilling done and the sun out, it is a chance to catch up on the smaller jobs, from spreading horse manure and beet spoil to cultivating a couple of newly transferred fields, walking the game cover and crops in the autumn sunshine, and a bit of good natured debate about whether to let Glenn loose with the plough. But the real story of this episode is the sheer scale of the numbers behind a farm this size.

We open the books a little, as the main fertiliser bill lands at just over £1 million, up from around £600,000 just five years ago, followed by a £274,000 chemical bill on the same day. We explain why payments that big go through the bank rather than online, how the grain we sold for cash flow left the account within 25 minutes to pay for the fertiliser, and why, with the market still falling, selling early turned out to be the right call. There is also a good look at how we are digitalising the whole transport operation, moving the lorry defect checks and servicing records onto an app, and a reassuring update on that worrying grain store panel.

From a rolling autumn day to the million pound realities of modern farming, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.
