Are we heading for another dry spring?

Dad can't get the discs into the ground today. Just bounce over the top. Three weeks ago would just sink.

 

[Bill the Bass]

It pee'd down here last weekend, we just need it warmer and the frost to go away. It’s dry enough to turn beasts out so I’m not complaining too much.

Oak out before Ash, in for a splash .

Oak out before Ash, in for a splash .

I think that's more to do with heat versus daylight.

One reacts to daylight other reacts to warmth......which is which ?

 

[Sandy]

No it’s bloody wet and cold here February was warmer

 

[Dukes Fit]

No ... It's snowing.

 

[chipchap]

Parked the sprayer under cover tonight, rather than leaving it outside on the yard.
My neighbour is planting spuds as if it is going to rain for a month, perhaps it will?

 

[Boohoo]

Could do with a dry week, don't think we'll get it.

having had the wettest dec and jan here I have ever had dec/jan 281mm long term average120mm feb/march at 33mm against long term av 92mm but the land has taken an age to be dry enough to work with. This last week we have rolled some of the w wheat without making an unwanted mark and this is a practice we havnt been able to do for years ,just hope grandad was right about making it tiller .The sp barley/beans seem to be germinating well and almost emerging though we do have about 10 acre of wb that is suffering from the effects of the constant winter wet and slow growth, osr is now flowering and all but past the worry of pollen beetle just a tad concerned about frost

Nothing much for weeks here; yesterday afternoon a chap down the valley was cutting! Others are still spreading fert'... I've got some seeding to do, so it won't rain until the lambs are due in ten days...

 

[Hilly]

Grey white with snow here this morning but bright sunny , it’s just too cold for growth sadly.

 

[Beefsmith]

We could do with an inch of rain to be honest.

 

[Barleymow]

Top like concrete plenty moisture half inch down , will throw good 2and dose of fertiliser on this week. Wont be lack of that but moisture to wash it in be the problem

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Was blowing snow here at 4 am
The wind is brutal

 

[roscoe erf]

you see its bloody raining now

 

[Wombat]

you see its bloody raining now

Another glorious day here, like the last month

 

[DrWazzock]

Gone from cheese to concrete in 14 days. There would be no chance of direct drilling now and conventional cultivation’s would be difficult and lose moisture very rapidly. It’s rock hard. So on our soils I am glad everything is in the ground. It seems now we get very small windows to do anything as it swings from one extreme to the other.

This years miscanthus harvest is in the shed - Many years it isn't dry enough to cut until the end of April and the new shoots are showing by the time it is ready to bale a couple of weeks later.

 

[Sid]

Few spots here this morning but now a chill North wind and sunshine!
