Had another heavy shower in the night, hopes of baling a few fields this week are fading fast.
Well today we have 32t trucks driving on grass fields making more cow tracks!Wet enough to get a gator stuck....
Starting to look like a repeat of autumn 2017 here

Baling with a Fusion, but having to wait for the bale to wrap and then tip it off before moving again.
It was a lot wetter last year, but if it keeps raining the way it is it'll soon get really messy again.It would have been a lot wetter this time last year though? Silage mostly gathered up round here with no mess, next weeks forecast not looking too hot.
I’m in the midlands and although we had a good shower yesterday and earlier in the week it’s not growing well everywhere but could of really done with this rain 2 months back at leastIf it's dry in the south and wet in the north
The midlands must be perfect not too wet or to dry

6mm for october so far. Still in drought, running out of grass. Id take 100mm, it would look ugly for 36 hours, but grow some grassJust watched the Sunday metoffice video forecast. Rain glancing over londonderry all day today, nothing in co down as usual, but the bulk of it over NW Scotland. Predicting 100mm there before the day is out
Yeah we can grow grass till the frosts arrive, most years they dont arrive here. Will utilise the grass up until xmas with the bullers, then the rest will be saved up for kick off in the spring. Looking at the weeks weather, youve got a skinful tonight/morrow then were all getting it thur fri.All depends on what has come before. Your ground needs it. Up north and west doesn't.
Ground is in great nick here for the time of year. But under no illusions that the top two inches don't need any rain between now and first of March. Like that's going to happen. Can you grow a lot of grass at this stage? Growth is more or less finished up here.
