Calm down, calm down.

After all that dry, hot weather when we didn't really want it we now can't seem to get 2 or 3 days fastened together here without it raining

Haven't got all the feckin sheep clipped yet - first things first

 

[Shutesy]

Yep, baled the first 2 acres yday, next 5 acres either today or tomorrow, next 12 acres would bale monday/Tuesday but rain on Sunday looks like it might be a pain. Haven't dropped anymore due to that rain but will probably mow the next bits Monday hopefully. Pretty thin crops so far!

Did a few small bale haylage yesterday just to get the kit checked out, plus the weather forecast changes daily!

Feck me, grass just starting to peep through winters mud here!

Same here, I’ll see if it’s grown enough by mid July

I live by "not enough grass there in June cant cut so soon, hay in July, can be a right bugger to get dry"

Mines going it the pit , I've seen the ugly face of Weather 22

Mine into plastic, not risking so much until I get near 1000 bales of haylage, I wasted too much last year trying to be green and environmental.

 

[Chuckie]

Lancashire, grass everywhere but no weather, struggling to even get silage. Rain all night again

 

[Boohoo]

I'll probably start next year, by then I might have forgotten that it's more hassle than it's worth

Won’t be in any hurry with a Jet stream forecast like this for the next fortnight.

2nd cut?
You need to crack on weather warning for rain until Monday here.

You’d be some man if you could turn that into hay

 

[Estate fencing.]

Long way off making hay here yet. Good way to burn the shed down though. Cut silage last Friday and it was just wilted by Monday when we baled and just managed to finish baking before a massive thunderstorm.

Need some rain to get it growing first, had about an inch since March

 

[Spencer]

Grass past the waist now and no weather to make it

Unless we have some proper rain through June, looking like about 1/2 the normal rainfall here for the 1st 6 months of the year.
Met office long term forecast basically saying they haven't a clue if it'll be wet or dry!
