Who wanted rain ?

@cows sh#t me to tears

I’m going on a farm tour to Goondiwindi tomorrow.
They had 200 mm last night in places.

140mm in parts of Wales yesterday

The Severn was out a long way when I went to the football yesterday . Always amazed how the corn recovers as one field of wheat was totally submerged

Apart from some barley that went in late and baked last year 30mm in 3 months and all was fine so I don’t see any issues with the same again

Similar here, it was a great year, but we'd had much more rain this time last year and the water table was very high, so things could handle the dry summer.

This year despite a couple of wet weeks things are much drier around here and there is no way we would handle 3 months of dry from now.
I ploughed ground on the 3rd of this month and it could have been sown immediately, despite having cows outwintered on it until a couple of weeks before hand.

I guess if things are wet enough that you could do so long without rain after such a dry year, it shows how different things are around the country.
We could handle it dry from June onwards if growing conditions were ok until then, but without at least a wet May, we would be screwed.

Mother Nature will always adjust and compensate, down the line ...... for any earlier unusual weather events

Humans forget this though

A dry winter had to lead to a late wet Spring

Like night following day

This it what keeps farmers sane but mother nature has been tampered with , dont bank on anything in the future

As annoying as it is the rain has done a lot of good here and was needed. Quite amazing how much we have had, photo from 5 mile away near the river

feels like the calm after the storm today, a change is in the air

hopefully get the sandy ground sown this week

Yeah, we were heading to Condamine with a cotton stripper on Tuesday, but they had nearly 100 mm apparently

Bugger all at home in NSW though . . .

As I said we have had an average winter and 2018 had more rain than 2017. It just came at both ends of the year so we would be fine with a dry spell

Whats happened to the Shrews this year?

typically for a small club, the manager left, taking the best players with him, then others left. So new team and on our second manager this season. Last year was a one off.

I know we are a bit damp but I hope folks affected by this lot are ok

You can do a damn sight more with water than without .

Ummmm. Can't actually walk on average land here today, never mind do anything with it.
