Would be nice to sell 25t an acre! Last three years we've sold just over 20t acre.
No there will not. But with your nice soils, lots of warm sunshine and plenty of water, should be a breeze

Torrential downpour last night, hammering on my Velux windows.
This gauge had overflowed:
Other gauge
Dad been away for a couple of weeks and I haven't emptied his rain gauges for a week or more, @Sonoftheheir will doubtless confirm exact totals?!

More rain last night than we've had since April!
Crusoe and Skyfall are down in places.

I haven't toured the estate yet as got sprayer MOT in a minute but nothing I've seen, winter linseed is bent over a touch but not flat and lost no pods.

Probably come too late for Skyfall, may help some late Crusoe and will probably salvage a lot of sickly looking beet round here?

There was a serious amount of lightning at about midnight in the distance. BBC was talking about light rain possible. Woke up at 4.30 and the grass was dry so went spraying thinking nothing more of it.
Checked my FB this morning and Cambridge had these with torrents of water running down the street:
