Serious night rain here in Salthill, relentless and heavy.

Has cleared now, overcast and a shower wouldn't be too far off at any stage by looking at it.

Total so far since Friday morning is 102mm and still raining.
Cows back to 29 liters.

Stopped here the last few hours but there's water lying where I've never seen it before. There's a garden of spuds up the road from me and you can just see the tops of the ridges in a few spots.

Sorry, I'm not a farmer but am browsing this forum and find some of the science behind farming very interesting, such as why a cow yields less milk in rain?

I was also reading the other thread about grass growth and how you guys manage the cutting, grazing, etc. Very interesting and something I hadn't realised before.

It's serious business, not all sitting waiting for a cheque in the post like some would say.

We're in a rut now for the next few week's, a wet day following a dry day,ground will be very wet by the end of it unfortunately clashing with silage time.
Be prepared for that and be ready to pounce on those dryer interludes.

Not being smart but milk yields dropped with my cows because they don't like getting wet and stand about calling to be left into the shed (when they should be grazing!).

Steady constant driving rain here in Cavan all morning. No weather for man nor beast to be out in.
Behind the desk here looking out the window, might venture out in the afternoon - through boredom if nothing else :rolleyes:

Was a good bit of rain this morning. Expect alot of spray from vehicles so take your time. Traffic seemed very light at 7am so might still be the same later on for you.

My weather station recorded 22.1 mm today from those incessant showers
Ground is very sloppy now and set to get much worse.
Incredible the difference with most of the rest of the country today
