Folks over in the dairy thread busy cutting silage.
All very area dependent I guess.

We went to do the tarr steps walk on Exmoor yesterday saw a fair bit cut and cleared through Somerset, must be drier on those lovely red soils than the Wiltshire clay. Like winter here this evening had to burn some cardboard in the wood burner to keep the Mrs happy

For small country conditions vary a lot, it's similar if not more extreme here.
I'm not there so can't comment, my brother works in Cheshire and has been busier lately planting spuds, spraying, fert etc, but says it's still wet and cold.
The Today at work thread on here has been busier lately.
Longer daylight hours and crop growth will dry things quickly.

Stick some pics of conditions up @bobk, you might not be as badly off as others and cheer yourself up

Cambs. That explains why you’d expect that on 23rd Apr.

Same in the Borders. Putting cows and calves out and the grass is turning blue!

Went to mark out tramlines in 150ac of overwintered worked heavy ground, needed 4 wheel drive in a few places and the BG is just about to start flowering!! Hopefully get the sprayer through tomorrow if the weather plays ball. The lawn however seems to have started to grow like buggery!

If you put aside the fact that it has been a wet Autumn, a wet winter and a wet early Spring , i would say April is more like how i remember it 40-50 years ago. Cold unless you get some sun and the grass going backwards from the earlier lushness .Our ground has dried a lot in the last week but is a pudding underneath. Neighbours are muddling their Cuckoo corn in today. They put it in just as late last year and it did very well.
