I use "classic shell" on a Windows 8 pc. Works great. http://www.classicshell.net/

Interesting movie, great landscapes. Here in the Netherlands some crazy people are even talking about re-introducing the wolf again. They should see this movie although I don't think it would change their minds.

Here is a link to a photo of the first milking robot prototype in 1982 , I don't know how to get the picture up here. I translated the Dutch text for you. The milking robot is a Dutch invention and as far as I know, the Dutch firm Lely is the market-leader...

something like this? I've never worked with it because we don't work with small bales here but it lookes interesting. http://www.agriaffaires.co.uk/used/bale-stacker/2007894/doucet.html

I don't have much with horses , more with cows and goats, but these pictures are great. It must have take you a lot of time to get some of these photo's. I liked them very much!

Prices of cornsilage from last year are about € 50 per ton franco( I don't know if that is an English word but it means brought on the farm)

Ok , we put plastic on top as well( thought everyone would do that) and trow 20 cm of sand on it, no loss at all but you are right, in the winter its difficult, our winters ain't that tough.

Over here we would have put plastic on the sides so you would not lose good feed because of rot. Yields around here go from 35 to 60 tons per hectare with about 32 % dry matter. Harvest is just about to start now and prices per hectare are €1500-1800.
