Contractor here yesterday spreading slid down a hill and wedged against a tree. I thought I was dry. Land is saturated already. Hopefully it eases off.

TITANIUM.

Another wet miserable bitch of a day, cold and wet. No cows out yet. Got a few lighter weanlings out in bunches and replacements to the outfarm but that's it.
The forecast reckons this bad weather is to break on Friday so we'll see what happens then I suppose.

Just about got one bag out before the heavens opened. Hopefully clear up again the afternoon.

I’m on the road all day with day job and there’s very little stock out at all, particularly few cows.

From north Kilkenny here I would believe these lads

Land was never as wet in over 40 yrs of my memory. This is the first yr since I took over in 88 that the fert is only going out in May for silage.

All you have to do is drive around Carlow , Kilkenny you see water in fields where they never was before , a lot of stubble ground is going to be left idle as cant be touched. Sowed eighty acres of spring barley the only reason it happened because the land was ploughed last October for winter crops couldn't be planted the land was light.

Saw a field ploughed locally last weekend in the rain and pools of water being soaked with a vacume tank .A hymac made a sink hole for the pools to be soaked !!!! beat that

A wet and windy May fills the bales with water and clay.

He could sow rice in it.

Could have done with a bit of weatherization here tonight.
It's teeming down all evening with still no let up.
Floods off the fields again.

When the cuckoo calls from a leafless thorn sell your cow and buy corn.

March’ll search ye, April try ye; May’ll tell, whether live or die ye. (my fav)

Always heard it as May around here, although June might be more accurate.

Going back in history my forefathers seem to die in may. The theory is they get through lambing and then go for the long sleep

Raining

Raining since Tuesday morning, apart from a few very short 'not so wet' spells yesterday.

Never saw the cattle so clean, well the bit of them that's above ground anyway
