[QUOTE="Kidds, post: 8274922, member: 5589"] I can only comment on my own area/farm. My grandfather bought my place in 1966 and I have been farming it all my life, my comments were based on my experience of growing fruit and veg on this land in that time. Over the years we spent a lot of money on drainage, then tried to figure out how to block it up. We also spent a lot on laying irrigation and then tried to set it to suck. There have been ups and downs but the current trend is dry to very dry, next year may well be the wettest on record. I have long thought that the best thing to do in a prolonged dry spell is to sort your drains out because when they rain comes there will be lots of it. I expect even [USER=71668]@Farmer Roy[/USER] would agree with that at the moment. [/QUOTE]
