At the risk of starting a National tirade of abuse I wouldn't mind about 5mm of rain if anyone has any spare.

Looking over the hedge I am glad that I am not baling my neighbours straw this year.

We had 3mm if that’s any good

Just to prove it’s not that dry here , sorry the pic isn’t that great but I was also trying not to get stuck.View attachment 1174892

I obviously wasn’t trying hard enough it took 4 hours 2 tractors 1 telehandler and 1 three ton digger to get it out Back drilling again

 

[Nearly]

If it were mine it would have had a bloody good dose of round up long ago but on the other hand is better to let it get like this and then spray?

Cover crop.
It will reduce the seed burden, but not by enough?

Back on the sprayer this morning early. The last 150 ac sprayed off and ready to drill

The obligatory 'kitchen lamb' has arrived (the clattery one from weekend). He's improved in 24 hours but there's a niggling feeling he's a bit 'special' View attachment 1174097
Lots of other fun things too. Lambed the prolapse, a hung lamb, adopting a triplet onto a dead single, cow with milk fever, a bit more rain and a bit of sun too
All sorted out by the end of milking

And a nice single to finish on

Flopping wet here !

Same here, it's that wet here 2 ducks were sheltering in the barn when I let ewe's and lambs out this morning

 

[Hesstondriver]

Spring tineing under a rainbow.

but I wasn’t going to let this stop me

 

[Lowland1]

Potatoes. Carting , harvesting and topping.

 

[Adeptandy]

Another session of patching puddles, trying them undisturbed today as it’s looking like the droughts starting around here

 

[Bert Jansch]

Achievement of the week: carrying this dude round from the barn and placing it in situ without it dropping to pieces

Combine maintenance day. Counterbalance shaft keyway chewed a chunk out of shaft so out it came.

Having renewed the magnetic clutch during harvest it's not running sweet in the gearbox phlange so out that came too.

I've got the header drive shaft and pulley to sort tomorrow. There's going to be a hefty bill to look forward to. At least it will be good to go when the time comes.
