After one of the coldest & driest winters on record in England its finaly started raing which is bulking up the grass. However some flash floods after cloud bursts has washed out some of the potatoes & sugarbeet seedlings.
Theyve started mowing in southwest England but the SP foragers & tractors with 15 ton trailers are bogging dowm.
Started mowing here on Welsh borders, grass will be round baled and wrapped in plastic as haylage if they can get a dry day after mowing to wilt the grass, otherwise its "wet" silage if the rain persists.
The vegetable growers in this area are struggling with the wet conditions, tractors with front mounted picking tables towing processing trailers are bogging down in the rows.
Farming is a great life and so profitable !!!
Have a good day guys, regards David

Oh yeah send the rain over. We would be happy to have some. Been 98 to 100 here lately. Would be better than dry lightning and grass fires like we had last night. 11 fire in 2 counties and another county needed our help with 16 going at once but we had everything tied up here. Farming and haying is just a nice way of life and not much profit in it last I heard. :)
