A lot of activity on the land now.

Saw the first field of sugar beet being drilled this morning.

Hoping to venture out with some glyphosate at the end of the week. Probably ought to go and see if I can find the key.

Lots of thunder and lightning over the weekend, heavy showers some with hail, showery today.

Had the thunder & lightning around 9.30pm last night, never had the hail you and Lynn were on about but it poured like stink and the wind was pretty wild. Had 15mm in as many minutes at one point.
