When will it stop raining

[JP1]

Sorry you've had it so dry mate.
We've had plenty at home (buckets and buckets), while the most easterly of the 'Eastern estates' has had one downpour in several weeks, and the dust is flying. Hay crop there is maybe 50%....and it's where I ship the forest cows to winter.
you wouldn't think 15 miles could be such a difference, but its a different world.

I'm feeding haylage and my yearling Belt bull (applied for inspection) is just going berluddy backwards, his head is big but he's not fleshing and it's damned depressing. Same last Summer.

If you want grass get up north.

Thanks. How handy. My job and my Son are here

You have to live with it , as we do .

You and your liker fail to tell any on here to move South or East for stating they're suffering from too much rain. If you've nothing decent to say, don't bother saying it

You and your liker live in the dry arid south and expect grass in August , dreamers .

Er no. I live in the South, would have expected one droughtish year in 8-10. August lack of rain is almost to be expected but not continual recent late dry Springs

You carefully avoided my point that you chose not to lambast anyone for stating they had too much rain. This just makes you a sad troll in my book.

Like I said before, if you've nothing decent to say, just spare it

Well I don't know which is worse, not getting a crop due to drought, or getting a reasonable crop ( despite the drought in April / May ) and now not being able to harvest it due to monsoon. I'll be glad to see the back of this year. It's happened before no doubt. Tales of 3 tractors trying to drag a combine across a field in December 1960 something etc, etc........

Off you go then and I'll watch while you tag every poster on this thread suffering from too much rain, tell them they're dreamers and they should move South. When they do move South they'll meet fellow Southerner "dreamers" many with massive OSR and barley and straw yields only a patch on their usual range of expectations

Like I said, you're just trolling

Maybe someone should have told them to just move East

Still trolling. You know what you're doing but I will spell it out. You got to post 136 on this thread only picking up and replying on my post. I suggested you go back over the thread and start replying to other's posts and telling them they should move South or what do they expect etc

Try your theory on the farmers in New South Wales or wherever. Either extreme is very stressful as stated in post 131 but I guess you won't give up on your trolling

And fyi the thread is about continuous rain not lack of rain .
