Had to stop yesterday afternoon as it got too dry here, down to 11%.

Gave it a couple of hours and set off again as the sun dipped below the horizon. Came back up to 13% by midnight.

Bloody hot here today, weather station north of 83 degrees

It’s the same for me, I’m finding first wheat is coming down 0.5% a day 16 was the best I tested tonight. Forcast looks settled for 6 days so I’m going to sit on my hands tomorrow and test again late afternoon.
