Today is the first dry day in a row in these parts. We would go to this day next year without rain and still be in pretty good shape.

I've the bigger half of the silage fertiliser to spread still ...As I'm sure many more have .
There was more fertiliser spread around here on Thursday , Friday and today , than the year to date .
Fella near me is baling ground he usually zero grazes, can’t be much feeding value with the lack of sun?

We are doing the best out of this good weather
spoke with Simon keeling of weatherweb last Monday, for those with a good memory of the periods, 85 /86. 01 /02. 12 /13 and now 23 / 24 ...... what had they all in common , Simon said they were el nino years, hence it was later in the year when it took up fully ,

Next weekends potential low pressure is very unwelcome. Land is just getting into good condition.
We’ve had almost 2 weeks without any proper rain but long term models hadn’t been showing this low coming next weekend.
The latest Ecmwf run shows it staying south of Ireland, hopefully it’ll stay away…..
Models had been showing it to become more showery from next weekend and a north westerly flow which would mean the south would see the least amount of showers.
We’ll see….

We were not so lucky rain every day last week sat and sun were good drying days started ploughing yesterday but rain for weekend is very unhelpful

Fairly chilly the last few days alright and varying during the day a lot.
I don't measure but grass growth seems not too bad considering though I am only starting my second round where some dairy men are on their third with very low covers I believe.
I was Conservative with grazing this spring as I felt it was too easy to do damage,only had weanlings out until recently

There doesn't seem to be any rain after Monday and Tuesday though. I don't want to jinx it but it looks like people may be looking for rain yet. Oh we'll get it in spades for the next two days though. Anywhere slurry or dung or enough p and k went there's a base of growth there. Anywhere enough of N went with that it's moving. Outside of all that grass is yellow.
