I would, always used to go early february when we did a lot of it.
If we get a wet february and March you’ll be glad it’s done out of the way.

Did you know there is a drought thread running?Oh god here we go it’s started
Will be on with grass harrow if it stays dry levelling cow pats and jigged areas etc, it will then have time to wash in before turnout.

Done a few blocks before this damp, foggy rain few day.
Raked the thatch out and now with the rain greened up a bit.
Was surprisingly dry as a chip.

Many years ago got first cut silage on Valentine's Day! 1958? That was near Totnes, South Devon! S22 ryegrass, I think.

Don't chain harrow if there's a possibility of a frost.
otherwise crack on.

I have done odd fields only doing them to knock mole hills down makes it easier to se where they are working

Opening up the dung pats should expose any worm eggs to the elements which they won't like? Sat inside a lump of sh*t is nice and warm for the little darlings, ready for the spring. That's my excuse anyway and a 40hp tractor doesn't use a lot of fuel.
Wish it would just throw a few rain showers bring everybody back too reality

Harrowed on Monday, broke up the pats for the rain to wash down later this weekend. 50Hp so not much fuel or ground impact although it was surprisingly firm, except for the gate area.
