That's one of the reasons that the grant needs a covered store. The 6 months storage will always be much nearer to 6 months even if you have 200% of rainfall for that period.This is where the inflexibility of farming off the calendar comes home to roost, should be spread when ground conditions allow not when the window opens up, although in this instance there’s not been too many opportunity’s since last July!
The issue this year is 4 months storage is far closer to 2.5 with all the rain collected which is why so many have reached crunch points.
