It's raining. ?

[Phil P]

Didn’t think we’d had any until I walked past the Weighbridge, can’t have been more that a mill at best, didn’t even damp the dust!

Definitely hasn’t softened this up!

 

[Brisel]

15mm in the last 24 hours. My crops will make good use of that thank you ??

@Steevo what did I send you in the end?

 

[David.]

12mm here since I cleaned gauge yesterday.
Glad I spent yesterday chucking 2cwt/ac Double Top on the wheat yesterday now.

 

[Kidds]

Had nothing last weekend and it’s hardly wet the yard here . I’m not hopefull

Same here until I set off with the sprayer

 

[Zippy768]

A nice 18mm in the garden since Thursday night. V happy.
Hope the rest of u get something by the end of the day

Rained here all day largely yesterday. Will do the world of good.

Not enough to register in the gauge.

Suffering now as you drive around we had a mm in the last month. My barley is 50% germinated. It’s not really the dry but the wet before it that’s giving everything a headache.

There are some very good crops around don’t get me wrong but there is some crap, and I put most of mine in the crap category. It’s just gone one way to the other and the temp and frosts are really hurting

Talking to my agronomist the other day and he said a lot very similar

 

[Barleycorn]

We had a nice rain for most of yesterday, just what we wanted for our undersown crops. I can put my clothes back on now and take the bone out of my nose!!

Never known a year like, winter crops no existent, spring crops not growing. Looks like a very short/ no harvest this year

 

[Gong Farmer]

Indeed. Last chance for a while looking at the outlook

 

[essex man]

It has rained!
First for 6 weeks.......2mm, yippee!
Actually barely 2, think I tilted gauge towards me to start with!

To be honest I'm not entirely sure - meant to empty the rain gauge yesterday but was so busy running around I totally forgot.

Either way, the yard and tracks were covered in puddles this morning so plenty enough for the crops.

It's still drizzling now in fact - just come in from spreading the last of the Ammonium Sulphate - decided that the rain was keeping up so the spring barley had a dose too.

 

[MrNoo]

@Steevo Not sure where you are but here we are up to 18mm and it's still spitting but brightening up now

 

[yellow belly]

4 mm here just enough and not too much
still have drains running a dribble on winter wheat land

Perfect. Yes brightening up here now too. A very useful dose indeed.
