I'm not keen on fixing either until it looks like we have a crop.Never. I want too see it in the shed before the barsteads take it.

Still got half a field of let out tatties in the ground from last year.Aye it is not looking bonny.
Any consolation have sown in May after swedes for sheep.
No great but not murder either.
Wondering what some tatties guys will do when weather turns, both in priorities (tatties or cereals) but also the state of some tattie fields. Some look possibly unworkable, late oats or possible stubble neeps into some.
Yes work load is going to be demanding to say the least.Still got half a field of let out tatties in the ground from last year.
Never been dry enough to run the grubber through them yet.
Going to be one hell of a work needing done across the country when/if it does dry up.

Well done. Not a chance here further south.Got 10% of my own SB done yesterday. Rained pretty much all night since. The wind we had from Saturday until last night did some serious drying but back to square 1 now. That is my driest field sown, even it had a damp patch to lift over that I have never seen in it before.
Is better in the bag down here that’s another 40mm today on top of last weeks 40mm. The fields that are sown are lying in water plenty of time yetGot 10% of my own SB done yesterday.

Where would malting barley be grown in Europe? Most of Northern Europe in the same boat as us.
Think Denmark grows a fair bit.Where would malting barley be grown in Europe? Most of Northern Europe in the same boat as us.

Seen Charleston farm in Caithness going for a few days.40 acres sown in Sutherland a month ago, nothing sown at home apart from trial plots which were ploughed and sowed 10 days ago which have a root but are going to be slow. Still ploughing to do but that may plough and sow eventually. Only really the far North which have anything of substance in the soil. Reckon it's a year not have a contract as its all to play for certainly in the distilling sector. Then again they may turn round and take bulkers from abroad.... Ever the cynical twit me!
