Forecast said rain by lunchtime so took the Mrs out. No rain all day so could have done some harvesting. Mother of all thunderstorms brewing now.
Forecast isn't worth looking at these days. Probably rain all the working week now my winter wheat and spring barley are suddenly, ready simultaneously due to the extreme heat we have had.
What happened to normal harvests?

Slow broadband. 0.3 MB/s.
4G will be ordered soon and they can shove their landline.

It's not days notice, but it tends to give a 4 - 6 hour window of what is likely to happen.

It's good but when you get nights like tonight with thunderstorms brewing up 20mins before you hit their is not a lot to do

When you combime it with the forecast that include the fronts it does become useful, without this it is OK - but still better than others.

I have had one do exactly that, I watched it bouncing off the front tyre and into the screen, my boss at the time was very angry with me which I considered then as now, totally unreasonable.
Sorry, I had a bomb on board, and couldn't let the speed drop, or rise above 40.

Luckily nobody was angry with me. More a case of how did you manage that as they were as surprised as me. Hopefully will not happen again as got a front window guard to have on aswel as the rear

What would 12 hurdles and a small race cost if there wasn’t a grant scheme
Because I don’t think it would be over £3500

The trick to harvesting grants is to price it right and get lots of takers. Too much and people will look elsewhere.

Keyless car. What is the need. It makes the key forgettable, no designated place for the key which means it gets lost in among the rangem of a farm vehicle.
I left the key in my tractor last night night, jumped in the pickup this morning thinking the key was in my pocket and went to check the sheep on the way to work, went round the sheep then the pickup wouldn’t start “no key” spend a good 40 mins looking for the key in the pickup, in the field, no luck, had to get someone to bring the spare key.
What use is a key thats a good 30 yards from the vehicle let’s the vehicle start and drive 3 miles away with no key! Then sometimes the key can be in my pocket yet it can sometimes say “no key”
WHY

There’s something wrong if the vehicle will start with the key 30yds away.
Does it not tell you on the dash when your driving, that there’s no key present?
I have one vehicle with the keyless system, and tbh I think it’s brilliant. No idea how secure the whole system is, as you do hear of criminals fooling these things, but to use, I think it’s mustard.
It doesn’t suit us fencing, they key has to be left in the vehicle all the time so it can be moved by anyone but I regularly forget I have it and bugger off to the other end of the field leaving someone stranded and having to walk for it, or they start the pickup with me in close proximity with the key in my pocket then they go so far then it needs the key! Because this happens a lot I then end up leaving the key in it when I’m in town or out somewhere as it’s a force of habit.
We used to leave the key in a hiding place on the old pickup if needs be but with the keyless thing it’s pointless, the key can be hidden on the vehicle but still opened and driven away.
We started leaving the key in the handle in the door but it was once knocked out and run over and lost for an hour. STUPID FECKING THING
We never had this problem when it was a normal key, but we did wear out the old key with all the stopping and starting

I can totally understand your frustration, but I am sure that half of these problems wouldn’t occur with the system I’ve got. What vehicle is it? Mines on a NP300, and it will NOT lock the doors if the key is inside it, and it will NOT start the engine if the key is not inside it. Yes, you could start it and walk off with the key, but it tells the driver immediately that the key is not present. I like it, but perhaps it wouldn’t be so convenient with several people moving it around all day like you have. But the key can happily be left in the car and moved as you wish, and cannot be locked it.
