Who else is sat waiting to get spraying

[tw15]

Got a fair bit of spray to do just fed up with either rain or blowing a hooley . So today put boom lighting on the sprayer and a couple of extra work lights so I can just keep going and ain't restricted by daylight .

Wind and rain finally eased yesterday 3pm-started T3 at 3.30 and got back in the house 12 30 am -230 acres in alot of small fields. Glad I put boom lighting on a few weeks ago as raining again by 8 this morning. forecast now showing showers for tomorrow and tuesday. Just waiting for the complaints about mud on the road!!!

 

[Zippy768]

Thankful I gambled weds afternoon. Forecasts were showing no rain but warning of thunderstorms near by. Jack in about 8pm and started raining again 9pm. Still a bit to do tho.
Haven't cut any silage yet tho

 

[Wheatonrotty]

Went from 9 Friday evening till 9 Saturday morning, so all up to date now. Only did it because we are off on holiday on Monday.

 

[Still Farming]

Wait wait wait.
Nothing done yet.
All finished last year by now.
Someone baling and wrapping in the rain on hills today ? Depressing.

 

[rob1]

got 60 acres to do for someone and perhaps my wheat which I wasnt going to bother doing but have enough spray in stock to do half off so might do it just as a experiment to see any difference, not sure if its going to be worth doing any of it by the time its either dry or calm enough to do, looks like thurs here at the earliest

Aye but it’s showers of rain for most of them!!

 

[Just a farmer]

230ha T3 left for me which I reckon is about 16 hours work. Fields been too wet to travel or winds been blowing. Few times the weathers come good I’ve had to prioritise the blight spray.

Find forecasts useless. Metoffice says one thing, bbc another.

 

[Flat 10]

Some were going yesterday in very marginal conditions. Have some T3s to do. This time of year is a bit of a ballache with sunrise and sunset so early/late. I'm too lazy to do anything much after 9 or before 6.00.

 

[Lukehaynes]

Alarm set for 4am tomorrow, try and finish last 75ha t3 in the morning before wind gets up, have nufol tanker arriving Tuesday and then oats to spray for crown rust after that... got nothing done last week and a catchy week again this week!

 

[Oscar]

Done nothing for 6 days, work keeps coming in.
412ha maize,112 ha late T3 (done the rest), 46 ha S Barley,25ha S Oats, 65 ha linseed,24ha kale/swedes and 6 lots of grass which is only about 30 ha but all over the place. Also meant to help with fodder beet 512ha as other guy is behind and is asking for assistance but need to clear mine first !

 

[Adeptandy]

I am

 

[Kidds]

Lack of daylight won’t stop me, just the weather.
Tiny acreage compared to what you are talking about but meanwhile caterpillars are munching like crazy and aphids breeding like mad. Hoping for Tuesday.
