    Yep, hope so too. Cancelled contractor for tomorrow. Even if it stays dry until then every place is soaked and will need a few days to dry out. Will try again next week - which looks much better.

    Ground not too bad here either but there has been so much rain locally in the last few days it just made sense to let everything dry out a bit. Grass would be soaked to the core.

    True. Alot of grass here is full of water I'd say. Plenty of wilt needed

    Third cut being knocked here today also. A week later than planned. Hopefully won't have too many knock on effects on extending grazing.
