Looks like a Claydon drilled it

Did some today,all went well on sandy soil.Not so good on black soil?.

Does the drillman eat his sandwiches going along?
Crops look right enough from here.

Managed to get onto the barley this afternoon . Sank in a few places , but mostly travelled ok. A few big lakes to avoid that aren’t normally there .

 

[David.]

That landscape is certainly what might be called "rolling", or are some of those stone pits?
Is that pond always a wet hole, looks like rushes poking out the water.

Are you sure you haven't strayed onto a golf course in that first photo silverfox? ?

It’s pretty rolling around here. All glacial deposits , so every soil type you can think of. That field is called the gravel hole field and is as it’s name suggests. There’s always two ponds in that field, but the one has expanded more than I’ve ever seen in my 58 yrs. Water has been running off other land into it.
Locally we have 7 lakes or Meres , a bit of a mini Lake District

Looks brilliant, without wanting to get into a whos had more rain discussion any idea how much its had on it since drilling?

Basically, if you’re in Norfolk, Aberdeenshire, or coastal North East, you’re all pussies and should be drilled up!


The rest of us eat raw pork and have sex with tigers. That’s how tough we are.

Or you farm soil with some stone in it and some slope, thats certainly the secret round here this year be sat on a few hundred foot chalk sponge, unfortunately were at the bottom of that sponge

I was editing as you typed!
I was only joking. That map is scary, and shows just who’s faced the worst of it in the last month.

336mm, no way near as much as some but it has been very frustrating of constant topping up on clay! I am pleased how it looks though considering.
