[QUOTE="DeeGee, post: 7719892, member: 6695"] 1987 was my first year on my own after my father had died suddenly the previous autumn; and I honestly thought I was going to lose the spring barley crop that September. Seemed to be nothing but rain after rain in late August and through September, with every weekly farming forecast being depressingly similar. There was only about forty acres to harvest but the combining contractors were all way behind with the harvest, and it would have been a massive loss to me if we hadn’t got it, as well as all the problems of salvage on sodden fields. Luckily, somehow we got it all in the last week of September, finishing on the 29th, in relatively good condition; but I will never forget that the threat of a big loss was very real to me that year.
