Between the Storms - It's a Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
 
I couldn't help being reminded of a classic U2 song on a glorious sunny day at Loddington. Although it did mask the wet stormy weather the UK has experienced over the last week. I decided to take advantage of the weather and spray out some sky lark plots and remark some footpaths in the cereal fields. Its no surprise with all the rain that the ground is close to being waterlogged!!

The wheat, osr and oat crops looked very well but black grass lurks in the background and I'm also not sure how well the Kerb has worked in the oilseed crops.


Fantastic clear skies, excellent day for crop walking/


Wheat emergence has been very good after oilseed rape.

Blackgrass is still about but crop competition should help


This wood belt was awash with blue tits, chaffinch, robins and blackbirds. Our supplementary feeding started 10 days ago.

    Keep the supplementary feeding up guys, these options certainly work. I hope the unrelenting rain and wind is soon replaced by something calmer and drier.

    Good Article. I loved the information & tricks about faming being shared in this post. To get a better understanding of the crops cultivation & harvesting, I am planning to visit Global Grain Geneva & meet up grain market professionals.
