Who's worried about the lack of dry?

Despite the constant on/off showers it does seem to have warmed up slightly here over the past week and stuff has started moving. Wheats have definitely started to get hold of N3 and overnight temperatures not far from getting into double figures with lows of around 8 degrees so soil temperatures are finally creeping up.

Quite the opposite here, big moisture deficit still to be corrected!
been raining all day ,back to the ole 'shiterino....'
tbh i like the dry can get lots done with no muck ,no need to worry about keeping everything covered etc..saves a ,lot of time really especially if you havent got lots of concrete and sheds.

Why worry about something you have no control over.
If I stressed about the weather I'm not sure farming would be the best career for me.

Was moving ewes and lambs away from the river at 3.30 this morning.
I saw a lot of theCulm was over its banks and the Exe flood relief at countess wear was flowing with a lot of water.
50mm here last 24 hours.

Flood alert was issued at 7.14 last night, taking immediate effect. It was only when I looked at the forecast at 10 that I thought I’d better check to see if there was one. So much for weather forecasting, perhaps they do need that new computer!
moved cattle to higher land at 5am this morning.
Similar here,nice steady rain tho,winter barley has jumped 6 inches since the rain started but grass isn’t really moving much.
Someone gets a new rain gauge and look what happens!Last 24 hours.
It works !Shall be making sure my next new one calibrated to 100mm, just in case.Someone gets a new rain gauge and look what happens!

Bloody lovely here today, last of the Easter direct drilled barley final coming through and filling in after the bank holiday rain. Warm, breezy, barely a cloud. This for weeks would be nice
