Getting a little wet

ZXR17 · Jun 11, 2019

Up until Thursday we had only 2mm this month . We only had 14mm on Friday when others very close by had 27 mm and yesterday and last night we had another 19mm so just a good amount . The wheat was starting to look pretty sick in places so hopefully will perk up now .
More importantly , the most important crop on the farm , the game covers will actually start to grow now .

Officially

Makes me smile when mentions Guiness book of records, wonder how many farms in the whole of Eastern England they actually record.

Sorry - I can't "like" that

There were slugs on a neighbour's wheat plants in his trial plots yesterday (along with a cloud of lemon and orange blossom midges). That's wheat after maize too. Plenty crawling up my wheat plants as well. If I had a stack of salt in the shed I'd take the sprayer out tonight & nuke the little buggers
