Is it though? We could spend .£k to try to out smart the weather and still be beaten. So don’t we gamble to a certain extent and hope the dice roll the right way? Aren’t we a bit arrogant thinking we can outsmart the weather? I know it’s not God or Allah but it’s random and beyond our control. Sometimes we just have to accept we aren’t masters of all we survey. And that other forces beyond our control are at work, if not a god then random Mother Nature.

The critical thing with gas compressors is “surge” and sometimes you can hear or feel it with a grain drying fan. If the flow is very restricted the pressure rises and the flow kind of bounces back and reverses then goes forward again in rapid succession. This is very damaging to compressors. It can break the blades off. So you need to open a bypass if you are approaching surge conditions.

And isn’t that what makes farming different. We are “humbled”. We can try our best but ultimately a lot of it is beyond our control. And we have to accept that. We have to accept we are to some extent “insignificant.” And that holds whether you do or don’t believe in any sort of “god”. Whether you do or don’t believe in a god, “randomness” can still confound us just as it will always confound the met office computer no matter how many miliiom they waste on it. It’s a lost cause. An arrogance.

So do I, tied with your previous comment 'I tried my best' Hopefully, the beans should be in tomorrow, and that's everything in, very little has gone in well, but ideal growing conditions has meant that most is already out of the ground, along with some Ryegrass unfortunately.
