Farm Diary

THE wet weather soon put a stop to our frenetic activity last week. We are now pretty much back to square one on the clay, although it is warming up and there's a bit of colour in the grass.

Most of the new grass lays we drilled in the autumn look very good, but the fields which were drilled late have failed, and will need re-drilling this spring; we shall get on with that task in early April.

I shall get on with spreading Nitrogen on the grass as conditions allow, and when it dries up once more, we will apply some more dirty water to silage fields.
