In short, no but the idea of rain is quite nice now. I walked the farm this morning and we grew less than zero this week. It is so dry down here now that every field bar one had less grass that last week even though they had not been grazed.
The trouble is though some of West Scotland it can rain and just never stop.Not just having to house cows all the time,the fields get too wet to take silage off,and put slurry back on.You can get into a nightmare with no feed/silage and overflowing slurry stores.

Might be wrong but think Tarbrax might have some former opencast ground, also shotts might not be the friendliest climate.

The layout of the sheds also makes me feel a bit ill.
Cheap needles and syringes by Shotts- no need to go to the vets...folk just leave them lying around!

Depending quite how close it is to the edge of town I don’t imagine that’s the kind of area you could insure a straw stack.
