Hurricane Humberto

[bankrupt]

Seems like all the forecasters, having missed out on the dire potential of Nadine in 2012, are now bigging it up on Humberto.

Just when we only needed a reasonable week to get all our 2020 crops safely in.

5 or 6 inches rain due within 10 days, apparently.

And unlike in autumn 2012, when wheat was £200/t forward, this time a partial crop will leave no margin.

So, the default here is 25% Beans, 25% Winter Oats planted in the spring, 25% SOSR and 25% fallow

Which will lead on to a cracking good year in 2021.

Just now sent an email to this effect to my bankers.

Same here. I tried to knock in some gate posts on Thursday. Suffice to say they will need to go in a fair bit more before I can entertain hanging a gate on them.

You can keep it down south ta

Ours is wet right through.

Perhaps you missed most of the 5" we got whilst we were trying to cut the WO.

 

[Bury the Trash]

Its pretty much been too dry and hard to till here. Could do wi a shower to save deisal and metal.

5” is a thing of dreams......(weather wise only. In other departments I OK ;-)

 

[yellow belly]

We had 90 mm in August following 230 in June july
Soil here would only need a inch to be unworkable for 10 days
Top inch may be dry but below that enough to get crops growing

Same here, yellow belly, and 5" forecast in next 10 days.

 

[Wheatonrotty]

And on this side of the country we'll probably get 2/3 of 4/5 of F.A.

 

[Wheatonrotty]

In fairness we have actually got some rain on the forecast now. Give it a couple of weeks and we'll be moaning about how wet it is!

Bit of a damp squid, so far.

Meanwhile, squillions of quid of the new hardware installed in Exeter busily trying to make good on the 2012 Hurricane Nadine software failure.

Thankfully ? can get dresser under cover.
