Enough rain to harvest?

[Beefsmith]

Had 65mm now in May and recorded nothing in April. Anybody want any more or is that enough to harvest and now we need sunshine.

‘cold and wet May is good for the grain and hay’

No. A couple of weeks of sun and wind.......
At least spring crops will have had a better start than last year.
If it's a choice between droug......I mean dry spell.....or monsoon, let's have a droug......I mean dry spell, and get harvest over and done with.

No. We will want a little more. Simply as the roots are crap this year.

last week was 'if calsberg did growing weather' here

As things have gone in last couple of years we need a month or two of wet so it comes dry for harvest.

 

[Barleymow]

Some warm weather be nice

The rape has probably had enough but everything else will need some more in June to get it over the line ... with plenty of sun too for decent grain fill

 

[teslacoils]

Children are speculating we should harvest the rain....and buy a fountain.

Wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay .

Think it was worse south towards Ingham. Was wet here but nothing awful. Maybe 6mm? Still raining steadily. Will still want another inch in mid July.... Not in ten minutes though.
