54 bales off 3.5 acres. Topped at the end of August and got fertiliser

Ground you can only get silage off I assume? The leafy stuff I cut in Oct last Yr I won't lie wasn't ideal, it preserved however there was a funny smell off it feeding out, and some grass that was green as the day it was cut. Cows ate it all anyways (I was glad to have it last winter), will be interesting to see what yours comes out like, let me know when your feeding it out.

No it was grazed up to that. Great bit of ground on outfarm.

Not looking great for getting the maize in uggh

Met one of the local super hero ad plants drivers today at the opposite side of a zebra crossing. Couldnt see a driver and must of had an extra tone of ballast donated by the land owner, never seen trailer wheels filled with mud/soil before.

Funny enough I made October silage and put it in the pit for the first time ever last year and it was great stuff
Cut leafy though in warm sunshine and got a 24hr wilt
The sunshine kept its sugars up

Rain tonight looks close to the coast,not sure how far inland it's going to get
Its fully cloudy here now ahead of it

Neighbouring tillage man at maize here, started at eight this morning and still at it .Must have a bit of a draw wouldn't have thought there much more than 15 acres in it but I could be wrong. Field looks ok from a distance anyway

This made me laugh, you've been praying for rain all year while much of the country has been getting washed out of it.

Maize you say....

More than 20mm here overnight, the most of that fell in the last 2 hrs. Grazing conditions still good, the problem with harvesting maize in the wet is simply the mud everywhere, and I've no appetite to distroy the gaps, roads yard and piss off all the neighbours.

Yeah there was an awful difference closer to the coast even down here,its like heavier pulses drifted up the beach
Driving into town this morning it was lashing down closer to the town
Same an hour later driving back out,it eased considerably
I'm not complaining!
That said,I was still treading water on the dryest of fields, simply because even small amounts of rain lodge and take a while to soak with the ground so hard
This means you experience as much damage as if you had it as wet as anywhere else in the country

While it's going to rain tomorrow and a lot in parts,it currently looks like east Wicklow will be spared the worst of it,that could change, we'll know soon enough
Beautiful out now and 15c

Lawn cut,mower washed and deck off it for painting.
Not a notion will it be cut again until end of March.
You’d be long enough keeping the fcuker cut.It may grow out over the walls if it Wants.
Could always turn in a few light ewes

Mooooo

Had thunder and lightning overnight, didn't start to rain till 1 I'd say but heavy enough most of the night

Doctors room ghost

She’s raining heavy in Galway.
Big closhes of water on roads already.
Land is already saturated.not a bit of drying to be got.

Pouring rain here I think its going to be a long winter, the trees are full of berries as always said nature provides.
