A silly question really but if you could 'order' a week of 25mm of rain a day, nice warm showers across your whole farm what would you be prepared to pay? We are short of grass for silage and grazing, slurry is too thick and ground to hard/dry to take it, grass seeds need a drink to set them off, a proper end to this drought would be worth thousands to us!
Paid out £35k for some wholecrop the other day, which we wouldn't have needed if the weather was sensible, so at least that
