Lincs show has been and gone which usually signals the start of vining. Please post pics here if you see them working. I've heard they are going down south but not seen any up here yet.

Have a look at Wold Engineering twitter video - shows the benefit of tracks in those conditions.

I remember vining peas at Speedway corner 30 years ago. It was muddy then. In a field that apparently belonged to Simba

Best summer job ever rallying a mk 1 escort around the pea fields of Lincolnshire sampling the pea fields. Find the viners for a start to get your free meal around midnight then first field by 2am in the morning. All fields sampled and back to testing station by 6am then onto canteen for breakfast at 7am test results out by 8am dictating which fields harvested on the day.
