Wow baled the hay last night and got 8 acres of 2nd cut this evening. Drop of rain over night bit dull this morning but opened up this evening. Nice enough stuff would have liked to give it another day but not around tomorrow evening

_Brian

Was very damp all evening from maybe 4pm.
Hammering rain now.

7 of the 14 days on the forecast with rain.

Pretty bleak for end of July.

Summer is slipping away. Mild day but scattered showers are stopping fellas cutting corn.

Mooooo

Grand day down here in Cork, bit muggy at times but a bit of a breeze picked up there now

Sun is avoiding Donegal for past week particularly Letterkenny is the place to come if you are allergic to the sun. . Looking at sunny temperatures down south. Must head down.

Same here, have a few strong paddocks and the second cut to bale. I said I'd wait for the lads with hay down before I'd start. Looks like a hit of hit and run next week.

Got 14 acres sowed this morning for customers just before the rain. Thank god

Dry morning but just after a heavy shower now.

SuperTortoise

Very mild here in NW but some very heavy showers falling. Ground is soft.

I think it must have rained on St Swithin's day.....or at least it has rained every day since. At least grass sown in June is doing well.

We've 30 bales more than we need for the average winter so just said fcuk it & took them in. No point walking the grass that's there into the ground.

foxy farmer

Rain hammering off the slates here in west Cork. Talks of a bit of thunder and lightning during the night as well.

_Brian

Another horrific nights rain.
It’s just after clearing off now but serious water fell.

TooOldBoots

Ground is starting to fail under the cattle now.
A lot of grass getting destroyed.
It's been sh1te weather now for the last 8 weeks, bar a few days here and there. Another few weeks of this and lads could be looking at a disaster of a year for ground conditions

Lady Haywire

Content here anyway. Never seen cattle so happy inside in July, though the blasted calves have my heart broke coming out through the barrier. I've to keep the lower sliding door open for air circulation instead of the one beside their heads.
