10 ml here in the last 48 hours, its done a bit more than settle the dust.

 

[Poorbuthappy]

8ml here and very welcome.
More forecast so hopefully will have enough to do some good. Though the worst fields I'm wondering if they'll even recover by next spring

 

[JSmith]

Nothing here so far at Oxford, annoyingly less than 10 miles away they had heavy rain for 45 minutes! Spun half my cover crops on for the sheep incase we get some rain, the rest will stay in the bag till the weather is more certain!

[JSmith]

Just wet the concrete here, needs to push down steady

 

[som farmer]

we are getting some heavy showers now, hope they are heading your way, and more on the way to us. Reckon our forage rape will go in this week.

Even 25mm would be well received here.... Hell, even 10mm would be a start.

SFA as of 18.30, Tuesday evening....

Having heard that some of you have had rain, I thought I would add a couple of pictures of where it is still dry!!
One picture is of the last of the very crisp herbal ley. Do you think it will ever recover from this or is it an expensive fail?
If it fails I am not sure we will be looking at having 20% of it in the future!!!!

 

[paul&mandy]

We have had a few good prolonged showers today. Hopefully more tomorrow and possibly Sunday. Got the drill back on to drill some more turnips tomorrow.
Got 40 acres grass seed in also.
Still feeding everything.

 

[som farmer]

our chicory comes back, after grazing, and fudging docks.

 

[ladycrofter]

The forecast last night looked like rain for everyone fingers crossed.

Regarding temperature, two days ago it was 25 degrees here. This morning it was 5
