This may be wishful thinking but are there any contractors out there who will cut and remove hay on a small, sloping field? In South Hams in this case...

You're in luck, there is a contractor in the South Hams who specialises in helping meadow owners with smaller fields. I've taken this off the Moor Meadows website list of contractors:

Teignbridge and South Hams – mini bales
Specialising in cutting and baling smaller meadows. Adrian has a chain harrow, hay bob, compact tractor and mini round baler and can access smaller gateways.

Green haying service also available, including site preparation.

Adrian Ball – 07511 911124

Many thanks for this posting. The very helpful Adrian has said he may be able to cut my small, sloping meadow near South Brent, however, he is super-busy in terms of being able to bale and take away the arisings. If there is anyone else who may be able to undertake the job - either entirely, or just the hay/silage-making part - please could they be in touch? Thank you

PS: I have a survey of the meadow from June 2022 conducted by DWT's Lynne Kenderdine which Lynne has kindly said I may share, so seed content of the hay from my meadow may be gauged.
