Oh well, 50% yield at 2x the price. Least grain carting will be easy. Maybe we make a profit next year!

Had a very much needed 12-15mm forecast for next few days.
Just checked weather again, it’s dropped off to 4mm if we’re lucky.
I just hope they’re wrong.

According to one forecast, every day next week is a washout, According to another one there is just an odd shower. Would love to get planting finished. 2 hours in field this past week only

A sure sign its dry is that the spring that used in days gone by to feed the farm has almost stopped running a very rare event for it .
1mm overnight....Had a very much needed 12-15mm forecast for next few days.

Needs 10x that now...

steady rain all night, no where near enough, but very welcome. What it has done, is made 2nd cut more reliable, we cut 1st early, to get 2nd early before ground dries up.
But its all guess work, the weather forecasters change their minds, on a daily basis. Have seen 1 forecast, that said june is going to be a washout. Wouldn't like to bet on that, although we need a massive amount of rain, to replenish the ground water here, winter rain has been sadly lacking, in recent years.
Although, it wasn't that many years ago, we brought the dairy inside, for a few weeks, jun/july, because it was so wet.

8mm here - very lucky and extremely welcome, but equivalent to only 3 days evapotranspiration at this time of the year so back to Thursday's SMD.1mm overnight....
Needs 10x that now...

Just be careful what you wish for. June forecasts all pointing towards wetter, cooler unsettled conditions....
Not much forecast here - should've moved to Dorset.
Bring it on......

A massive 1mm overnight. T2’s on Extase yesterday and 30% of it on the lighter ground is pretty much dead. It’s not looking good, but nothing we can do about it. Frustrating when forecast rain never arrived.
Also, why doesn’t BG seem to drought out?
That’s 11mm since 1st April
