You can bet your bottom groat that whoever leads the torys will have the same ruthless, selfcentred backstabbing MPs with their own agendas at heart above any other sane and honourable actions

Got a couple of fields of WB they discovered today, one's ready at 13% because of the chalk and the other way over near greenham common on gravel is at 11%! so we have chucked all the covers and guards on the combine and are aiming to do them on monday-Tuesday, then I can try and get the irrigation...

went across the track behind the farm which is around 2 of the largest fields of OSR, all some rapid hybrid stuff, haven't seen such a tall thick stand and pods aplenty here for many, many years. Luckily the precipitation here has been civilised so every thing looks hunky dory so far.

15mm overnight, overcast today, its getting a bit tiresome now. :? Hows your hardpan?

Someone I deal with replied to a price enquiry- Yes, is nice and wet here too – we’ve just set up at Cereals show and it’s a mud pit!

Well they know how to play the game and the rules by now, but will still make a meal of it?

Rain in Welsh Wales.
Standard.

Bin dry as a dry thing here.

AKA "dry as a witches tit" over here

(99.9% dry here until 5pm when there wasn't quite enough rain drops to link up on the workshop skylights, those that fell on the concrete yard evaporated as quick as they fell!!)

6.1mm so far and the yard is already drying off.

huge 2mm storm in the last hour!
