It’s all hands to the tractor as dry days enable harrowing, rolling and drilling of oats in Welshpool fields. The cows and their calves are eating hay – between itching, scratching and licking - as a cold snap has put paid to the grass growing. Hay is needed for the ponies, too and is fetched by the farm children, with help from Patsy the Welsh sheepdog and McConkey the Donkey. Lambs are born amongst the daffodils and one of Patsy’s pups is off to The Netherlands with its new owner.
