I think I may have missed an episode because I never heard whether Joe's advice on feeding swedes to the cows at a different time would stop the tainting of the milk.
Can anyone enlighten me please?
Thanks.
I don't think you missed anything Iva. It's just another of those stories that seem to peter out without any resolution.
Mike had a moan at Oliver who had a go at Ed who told Oliver about the new feeding regime as advised by Joe and that was about it. No real resolution.
Thank you Reggie. Pity really, because I would have liked Joe to have been proved right.
Date: 9/3/2007
Synopsis:
Ed confirms that the milk taint has gone and he’s pleased that Joe’s advice worked.
from synopsis.
Rosie, thank you.
I've quite often noticed your encyclopaedic knowledge of Archers past and present - delving into archives for us, etc.
Are you anything to do with the programme, or is it just personal interest. (You don't have to answer this if you can't/don't want to).
I just sort of remember, usually. Or remember where I saw it (photographic memory - righthand side of page, third of way up, 4th or 5th chapter.)
Just a contented listener, nothing else to do with the programme!

Wow, lucky you. What a gift to have.
If ever I'm searching for something, I can see it in my mind's eye in a certain place. Of course, when I get there, I'm mistaken. This must be my photographic memory gone horribly wrong.
Thanks, Rosie.
I'm sure the synopsis is right Rosie but my memory is the same as Iva's that the story was left hanging in the air. I've seen complaints before about the synopsis and the actual broadcast programme differing. Does this happen?
I remember the conversation between Ed and Oliver, when they got back from France, and was astonished at how faciley it seemed to have been arranged, "Good old grandad" or somesuch.
But did we ever hear Mike having to eat humble pie over his whole stand on the whole thing...?
("Humble Pie" sounds to me like it might very well contain swede, b.t.w.)

That's the bit I would have liked best, Rick-a-y (oo, sounds like Bianca in E'Enders)
I concede that it happened the way Rosie said purely because I listen to TA on my way to work in the morning and sometimes the road demands more attention than what I'm listening to.

Well ,until silage making started here in 1978 our winter ration always contained turnips ( fed after milking ) and the milk was retailed unpasteurised then without complaint.
We used to get the odd complaint when the cows went to grass and the cream went yellow with a stronger taste,though.

I was going to post exactly this question the other day, but didn't get round to it.
I remember Ed saying that he thought the taint had gone, but that was it - we never heard Ollie passing this on to Mike, or even confirming it for himself. Pity really, I'm another that would have liked to have heard Mike acknowledging that maybe Joe did know a thing or two about stock.

Thanks ayrshire-cowman,
It's always interesting to hear things from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
But then turnips and swedes aren't the same thing.
Turnips are white fleshed and swedes are the orangey coloured things that Scots call neeps.

Airshire-cowman is a Scot who farms in Scotland. Up here the orange fleshed roots are called turnips (shortened to neeps), the ones with white flesh are names new turnips.
I think Jazzer refered to the things they are feeding the cows as turnips in a conversation with Ed.
