Oh dear

Cold, wet spring? Soil is colder by many degrees. And no plants will grow.
If they do grow, the crops are under stress and prone to disease. Yellow rust, on our neighbour’s wheat only cleared after a spray, and some sunshine. Crops are at least a month late. And those are crops that are not standing in water.

Gawd knows what makes these folk tick. No mention of wettest period for decades and below average temperatures (although the winter was not actually harsh).

Surely not beyond the wit of the man to look at flight radar to identify the plane when it flies over, track its route and then go for a look at the home airport if it’s that serious.

there’s loads of little planes fly over here because there’s a flight school and leisure flights that run out of 2 airports within a 20 mile radius. Never considered it may actually be a covert deep state programme to create an impending famine.

As above, we’ve still been single digit temps overnight up until the last week or so, plus the October storms will have drastically reduced the residual soil N.

May here was 3° warmer than average although no very warm days, just warmer nights. We were away for 4 weeks and the growth of grass and trees was a real surprise. No burnt knowesyet
