Better week for the last 15monthsFreezing cold north wind. Been continuously forecasting "better weather next week" for the past month but it never comes. Must be this new global boiling phenomenon that's ruining the models
Maybe we have just got used to it after 2Friggin getting colder in the strong east wind???
It was this cold and wet last year took another 3 weeks to get warm7C at tops today and rain from the east for most of the time. I've been farming a long time and don't remember such a cold April.
Fields up for silage are hardly moving, we can't finish planting because one field remains too wet. Not got as many cattle out as usual.
Perhaps it will get warmer this week but it needs to be drier as well - which isn't forecasted for at least another ten days.
