Aren't you optimistic!!

It's Climate Change, doncha know. I didn't send my grandchildren out last Friday to walk the mean streets of Bangor to protest against lack of Government action for naysayers

Probably got 8/900 tons of silage spare. The question is to sell or not to sell? It’s decent stuff. With all this strange weather it may be better just to keep it

Keep it in the clamp- can never have too much silage or slurry storage, especially in Scotland or NI

400 head of milking cows to feed? I wouldn’t risk it.

I hope they realise that we are just in the tail end of autumn/early winter and the worst is yet to come. All that growth frost burnt to hell and then water logged for the next three months ....

No rain here yesterday but our ground is still to wet to consider letting them out this early .And no we haven't got plenty of silage!

Come on !! I would be wetter than you surely ? mine will be out by night if it stays dry another few days

You probably get more rain up over hills behind Honiton.All depends on soil type .no stone at all with pretty heavy red clay .
