Do you guys just crack on when it’s windy?
Very gusty easterlies here now. It’s firming underneath. Think I might just push on with Polysulphate etc otherwise I’ll never get anything done?🤷‍♂️

I didn't yesterday. Very windy here, tho a good drying wind. Hoping that will dry everything that little bit more.
Tho I'm not sure if I wasn't just making an excuse as Fridays are generally busy here; along with a trip into school after lunch and wanted to finish pulling the engine out of our old jcb 410 loading shovel

🤞 that we don't get too much rain over the weekend.
Met office App saying not too bad weather here next week.....other apps don't look so positive.......so I've deleted them!

Got the worst done, running on shoulders of November's tramlines and not leaving a mark. Either the BG has drowned, or I'll have to admit that the Luximo has done a cracking job, even despite being forced on before an inch of rain.
Next similar dose of urea will go on between tramlines, so should be even enough whatever the breeze says.
There are people within spying distance of our place who would be spraying if they needed to be.

Gone with the attitude that a stripey green field is better than an all over orange one. So been on all the time in the wind. Just got done and the wind has dropped!! 🙄
I’ve gone with the attitude that the wind is always blowing roughly the same direction therefore cancelling itself out and I’m using VR maps so if it’s stripy I can blame that 😬
