Grassland rolling
If the permanent pasture to be cut for hay is harrowed well, and is relatively even and unpoached, does rolling it do more harm than is worth it for protecting the mower from the odd stone or divot, do you think?- Marmite Mac

2023 Wet thread #1
155mm here in March, so far.

Spring drilling
Am I right in assuming that because nobody is stressing about this wet weather, that all planned Spring cereal drilling got done in Feb and early March? There still seems to be quite a few sprayed off fields around, which I can only assume is destined for maize.- Flintstone

Drought Must Be Over!
We have had rain every day so far in March. This week there has been around half an inch (13mm) every day but today will easily double that and it is still falling down.. The ground can't take any more and we are back to flooding again. I don't mind in January but now that we are lambing it is...- Frank-the-Wool

Spring drilling 2023
How are people getting on now we are paying for a dry Jan/Feb? Spring barley drilled 2 weeks ago, not through yet. Drilled this first as on heavy ground which we managed to muck in Feb but no ploughing and it went in well. Some spring beans drilled 10 days ago and had another go this afternoon...- JCfarmer

Sencrop weather stations
Basically are they worth bothering with? I have been offered 2 stations for “free” if I only pay the yearly subscription. I do farm in a 8 mile radius of base and a farm a contract farm is a lot higher altitude than my farm. Would be handy but maybe a bit of a luxury. Thanks in advance Ben. -
Flip it’s dry
In response to the, Bye It’s Wet thread, out here in the dry East I’m more concerned about the lack of rain. Dykes still dry, underdrains not running, can still walk the fields in trainers. Anyone else thinking it could be an interesting year if we get a dry Spring 🤔 -
