Looks like 2 weeks without much rain.......
We'll pay for this later in the year, probably during haymaking / harvest...

Who knows, a couple of weeks dry in January means nothing much for the rest of the year really.
We'll just have to deal with what comes and hope we're either clever or lucky.

Been on the cards for a few years, consider dropping ryegrass for cocksfoot etc deep rooters, we have very little ryegrass in our leys.

Yeah, not a daft move IMO, they'll grow in the wet too, so not much to loose by using something more fit for drought, they help the soil too.

Been out spraying this morning, and hardly made a mark. Sticky walking on the turnip/beet fields though.

Feb will probably be ok, last week of Feb will be nice, March it'll probably barely make it above freezing and we'll have some snow, April will be cold still no doubt, but hopefully do most of the pissing down then and then it can be nice for May-October, but then no doubt it will end up pissing down in May again maybe, or have hay making weather in May and pee down in June....

Can we not just have a few dry weeks and enjoy it, it’s 6deg and 90% humidity so not exactly august. Hopefully it’s like 2019 where it’s nice all the way to harvest.

Might have a go at ploughing this coming week. Need a strong wind to dry the ground out really.

weve Been dry for two years, this past year was the driest on record. Have some moisture late harvest time and getting good snow now. I’d rather have a dryer spring then timely rains during the growing season. Difference here between a drought and flood can be one major thunderstorm. Not unseen for 6 inches to drop in an afternoon and with it being very flat that’s pretty much going no where.

I drove my tractor over my lawn today to see if it was fit to roll, left no mark.
