Drilling anyone?

[Wombat]

How's the recently drilled stuff going to do now it's going to be stood in pools of water again? Flying up over England yesterday looked like a hell of a lot has been drilled, couldn't see flying down a week ago because of being in Isle seat and cloud but presume a lot was done in the last week.

What can u do? The forecast was for no where near as much rain as we have had. We had nothing drilled and the weather in this country is crap

I rang the weatherweb chaps on Thursday before I pushed on they said no issues 12mm max as we should have got over these cyclone storms not moving away over us. 25mm so far and local weather station just hit 121mm/hr. thinking of bringing forward the emigration plans we have

I would hope that stuff drilled recently will not sit as wet for as long as that drilled before the weather broke in September.

It's one of the most depressing things watching soil get washed away all fields local to this drilled with well established wheat, tramlines across the hill but it washes down a track

I'm hoping the same but it's in now, rightly or wrongly.

weve had a fair bit @20mm but now stopped, birds twittering, concrete drying ,ponds receding am glad we pushed on as wouldnt be drilling this week now and reckon by the time it dries up will be almost too late to patch the odd headland up ,que sera sera

Where is Harry's farm?

It's been damned if u do, damned if u don't, all over yet again this last week or three, Wombat.

At this very moment, it's still coming down so hard and fast that I'm rather glad we didn't actually get any WW headlands put in for the 3rd time here after all.

Was very tempted.

Had only had 4mm by 3 o'clock but now had 15 mm .
Sorry to all of you getting hammered by the floods , again .

 

[Wombat]

26mm so far

I have a stream that’s diverted across a wood and 20 acres of newly drilled wheat of mine so I need to see what’s blocked in the neighbours

What a crock, might as well have gone to the pub this week, may have been more productive

Everything sown in the last week around here has lakes on it, one drill was running till 10pm last night to finish... not sure any of it will grow.
