Yea good weather the last week or so with a few hit and miss showers.Ground is very dry here, not drought but dry. Combines had to stop at 2 yesterday with misty rain though. Good morning again here today expect them to start up again.
Would be finishing up drawing straw here today only farmer who I buy it off doesn't like Sunday work so finish tomorrow in time for forage rape to be planted tomorrow in those fields.

Nekarsulm · 10-08-2016 12:55PM

Same here in Cavan. Luckily, yesterday baled the bit I had mown on monday. So for once I hit it right.

Reggie. · 10-08-2016 02:24PM

I think alot of guys will get caught with silage down as today wasn't supposed to be as bad as it turned out to be

Mild, breezy and constant drizzle with the Sun trying to peep out now and then. I getting sick and tired of feckin rain. Digger got stuck in a soft spot yesterday when we were fencing. Never had a problem with the digger in the fields during Summer

I noticed a few rushes growing in areas where they never grew before. I suppose it is due to the combination of a wet Winter and Summer.

It's a dog****e day in westmeath as well

Mooooo · 11-08-2016 03:39PM

Savage day in Cork, altho for fencing not ideal, no give in the ground at all so all posts are cro bar jobs. Different years, last July was right wet down here has been grand so far, if the back end comes good would help massively. I feel for ye withave 2 much rain up the country, have fields here that a days rain would soften fairly fast

whats the weather like in your area?
