Picked up 56 today and 26 yesterday on a farm that was just in a couple of fields. Done 2 other jobs earlier for same farmer and got more to do . Its boiling with them on there, the farm hasn't been done for over 20 years. Had a total so far on his ground of 264 moles and we still have a lot to do and there are stacks of them on parts that they won't bother with, like really rough areas.They want to get on top of them now, so happy days!
