Soaked - here in Lincolnshire its the wettest year for over 100 years, very little drilling has been done, no landworking is possible and every farmer is despondent. I suspect we are not the only ones, it seems like everyones awash. The calendar and weather is against us. New rotations are being drawn up, Spring Barley for spring sowing as an alternative is being traded like pearls and everyones wishing for a really cold winter of hard continual frosts so we can get on the land. Drilling methods and drills are under discussion with little avail as still it rains. The melting of the ice sheets are being held responsible and still it seems we make no changes to our way of being.So Ive put my sheet in soak today and will leave it there until i have to take it out for the show or the weather improves. Here is a photo of it in the sink. I have also turned the heating down.
