[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5256558, member: 63856"] You must be doing something right then (y) I am not going to try to be smart and say "it does that all the time here" but it [B]is[/B] starting to show what it [B]can do, [/B]more frequently - water cycle effectiveness is becoming a real concern; storing more, deeper in the soil is all I can think to do? Probably, like most of you up there, we consider ourselves "summer-safe" most years; but "one year in eighteen" has become "one year in five". Our 'prevailing' weather direction simply reversed itself this summer gone: instead of nice cool damp sou'wester, we had 4 months of hot dry weather from the tropics/aussie :( :poop: and cyclones :poop::poop: But until it rains, all you can do is stay positive, enjoy summer like a townie does, and don't pretend it won't do it again. If it gets you down, get away, off the place: "better to spend the day looking at other people's hardship than your own", as my Dad would say :LOL: Don't be worried if your livestock look like they are standing still for a while, they amazed me this year with how quickly they caught up after a few weeks of not quite enough tucker - we destocked by about 25% to get through, and got rid quick which was a good thing in hindsight as the price did dip. Hopefully the tail will wag and your winter crops will make up for spring ones, after a good dry-out and some warmth. (y)(y) It [B]will[/B] come reet. That's about all I can think to say . [/QUOTE]
