2019 all over again?

[Steevo]

Ok. This is 2nd wheat Extase, sown 13th September, photo taken on Wednesday, 5 weeks after. A bit cobbly but the VR seed rate was up about 40% to deal with it.

Pre-em are not ever going to make it to France, but a proportion will be heading in that general direction along with tonnes of soil particles and blood, sweat and tears

 

[lloyd]

Is that a new business venture he has?

I think it's one he is looking at.

As I drove to town this afternoon I wondered how many tonnes of production has been wiped of UK ag output in the last 24h? I shudder to think!

enough to make the RT import debate interesting

Wet It’s causing a few problems just have to wait and see what the damage is my guess going to be 1/3 complete write off just planted with pit holes / corners and some headlands on top. what about the poor chaps with maize not harvested that’s going to be tricky.

Can’t see these moving for a day or 2 either

They don’t float too well.

67mm here between Thursday evening and this morning.

No hope of lime spreading this side of about February now. Not unless we are lucky enough to get a few -8 mornings.

6th Feb 2020 here shouldn’t have bothered though as it pee'd down a few days after and most of it didn’t make it. Then drilled spring barley in March and Shouldn’t have bothered with that either. In fact harvest 2020 I should have not drilled anything would have been cheaper

Yup it was some of the best conditions in spring, then we got some crazy storms. We took my lad for his birthday into York on I think the Sat and it was glorious. Then it just heaved it down for two weeks. I remember our weather station reading something like 120mm/hr at one point you could see the lakes form
