The mixed weather this week is causing some issues for those with grass silage ready to cut. While the midlands and west are only getting into gear, the first cut has been completed in many other parts. Some of the same stress-related issues apply to grain farmers as we are already getting reports that the heavy rain in the east has lodged some crops.
It’s a difficult time of the year for farmers when the weather is very changeable and it can be difficult to stay positive. Sometimes it is as simple as picking up to the phone to a neighbouring farmer or family to share your frustrations. We are all in this together.
It is important not to let a situation fester and get you down.
