45.25 hours into May 2024 and we have exceeded 75% of the average rainfall for May over the last 30+ years. How can we turn this into a positive now and in the longer term? So many questions, currently so few answers...
One field had a multi-species winter cover crop, the other was an unplanned overwintered stubble. Thankfully, based on the number of gulls and rooks following the cultivator soil livestock populations have not been completely wiped out by the wet winter. #SoilHealth
Great to have the Somerset @niabgroup visit the Taunton trial site here today, we even dodged the rain to look at the plots in the bracing wind. One variety even has the flag leaf emerging!
