I would be happy if it would only rain !Regardless if I was expecting it or not!Forecast was all to pot this week. I was away on Thursday and was very surprised when wife told me it was raining when she phoned. Expected rain yesterday but it came to nothing. Sprayed OSR today so now up to date with the sprayer
Drying out, again!

Next week looks like arc building weather. Bet it disapears
The way it's been this summer down here you'll only need an inflatable dingy!
I spect by time next week arrives il stick to the sun cream
I reckon you're right. Weve got 70acs 3rd cut to do which il take this week. It'll either get wet next week or disappear into the ground so i'm taking it whilst I have the chance.

Nice. Had the 7 weeks of no growth june/july...then it rained..i think we are on about 10 inches of rain since mid july
We got plenty of grass but no way to cut it

Same here. Opportunities for harvesting have been very poor since late July. Scarcely two completely dry days together. But that's just typical august for us.
September is going the same way. Showers every day this week, looks awful next week. I've just broadcast on three acres of grass seed this morning in the drizzle because it only looks like it's going to get wetter. Annoyingly I couldn't roll it as it was sticking. Just have to hope the birds don't wipe it out. Perhaps if theres a decent afternoon this week to put a skin on it I'll get it rolled.

Results are in.....20% less dairy cows but I guess 20%more forage available now
Really sorry to hear that, is it getting worse for you or have you been struggling for a while with tb?
