Very warm again this morning, but clouded over and light drizzle on and off now.

 

[Old Tip]

Absolutly poured down last night and this morning, river has come up a few feet as has the lake. But the sun is out now so mown a small field as looks good tomorrow, dare not cut a lot though as it's so unpredictable now the rain has come

 

[big steve]

Today the weather is better I took a water sample of the oats 18.3%.

 

[big steve]

Today we start harvesting wheat:-D

 

[EJS]

Had two really good days combining (Friday/Saturday) wheat coming in at 12.9 - 13.5 % MC... Those pictures of the Eastern counties remind me of the various "wash-outs" we have had over here in the west and growers in the east wonder what we are moaning about...tomorrow is not looking too good though..

Is it 'crappy'? I suppose it depends on your point of view. I put a cwt/ac of CAN on most of the grassland (first N on a lot of it this year) in the last few days, and a bit on the brassicas that have had one grazing, just ready for the splash that's coming on nicely now. Might even broadcast a bit more clover seed on if it stays wet for a few days. Hoping to build up a nice wedge of forage going into the Autumn.

Spring Barley is just sprayed off to tidy greens up, but 10 days to a fortnight off, so can't do much about that anyway. I do feel sorry for some of you arable boys though, having had your annual month's work disrupted.

Is the forage crop that you gave N to thats been grazed before the swift that you spoke of previously neilo?
