Normally only notice that smell after a dry spell in the summer, not sure why?

Dry here since 6am. It rained during the night but not a whole lot. I must head down the fields to see if the cows can go out today. Drying wind out but nippy.

The ideal winter I can get away with only housing for 6wks/2months, which puts a questionmark over bothering spending much on winter accommodation other than what needs to get over the nitrates line, but this winter has certainly thought me that that's the utter wrong line of thinking. I have the land to support a decent few more cows, but what the hell is the point of driving on ahead, maybe getting away with it for 2 or 3yrs, then having a pure Hardship spring like this that would completely turn you off farming if you're only trying to juggle overcrowded sheds, lack of fodder etc etc.

‘‘Tis getting beyond dog****e at this stage although next week looks promising at the moment.

I just out and about. The amount of water lying on even sandy dry tillage ground is unbelievable. No cattle out anywhere and grass is very scarce.

Heading off to a hotel for the night. Forget about muck and rain for a few hours. Clear the head. Cheers
