9mm here . Very grateful for that.
A few stubble turnip/ rape / kale mix have germinated. Will they get enough moisture to keep them going.

Now fifty days without a spot. None on the 14 day forecast.

UK record is 73 days.
Dont hear much from the NFU despite most farms in west wales half way through their winter feed , its like a hot winter here atm , finding it hard and expensive to buy fodder and having to watch a constant stream of wagons taking top qualty straw and hay to Ely to be burnt , The NFU sat it at the planing stage for those livestock feed burners , they should have been more vocal on the effects a subsides power plant would have on the availability and price of forage to livestock farms, and the fact that they are now sourcing fodder in Kent and Hampshire some 150 miles from Ely in the name of Green Energy , road congestion and diesel fumes to boot
