[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 6590345, member: 3656"] It's been a difficult enough back end. You don't know what's ahead. But we do know that waiting for good weather at this end of the year is a lottery, with the odds stacked against us. The later it gets, the less likely that good weather is going to yield any real improvement - just that it temporarily won't get any worse. So if ground carries a tanker, I think you have to seriously look at spreading earlier rather than later. If rain is forecast, at least the runoff potential is going to be lower than it is today, because if land carried your tanker, it had some absorption capacity then. On storage, you've clearly made a good effort, but perhaps relaxed just a bit too early. Given that we are expected to have four full weeks extra storage at full housing level, then I'd take it you'll have some breathing space, unless you've got everything fully housed that is? [/QUOTE]
