Here at Overbury we enjoy being part of a working farm and harvesting has started in earnest with the Overbury Enterprises farming team working hard to get crops cut during this wonderful sunshine.  So please don't forget to keep an eye out for large machinery and please be considerate with your parking to allow the combines and tractor access.
