    It was more like an October day here. 9°C and showers. It's mainly a dry farm here and it's the first time of seen pools of water in particular parts of fields

    Strange day here - very heavy thunder showers, but not a bad day between them...
    Missus said the car read 16deg collecting the kids after school...
    Grass seems to be coming on every day, places are wet though...

    First run out with the topper this year, this morning. A field I couldn't graze last backend with the wet. Grazed it last week and there was loads of rushes in it. Looks alot better now. Was surprised how dry the field is

    Only a few drops of rain here so far today but there seems to have been plenty ten miles away, hard to forecast that.
    Plenty of outfits flat out all last night around here too.

    You can thank Teagasc. Down here lads lost their shít with cutting silage. Fields were destroyed by machines because the farmer wanted it cut on this date so the DMD is right. If they left it another few days, the silage would be cut and the field wouldn't be wrecked.

    This is what we do. Can't understand lads cutting lawn cuttings in the last few weeks. Hope to cut here at the weekend. It's dear enough to do silage without ruining ground in the process. Every farm is different. Fertiliser only went out 18th April ground grazed bare

    the lawn clippings will give you maintenance plus 7 litres the dry cow silage made the past few days and into next week will dry cows off,
