Light Land Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 2nd week in August is often when farmers around my way start drilling process pea crops and spring barley. This week I've seen large sheets of water on most paddocks. Things are shaping up to be a wet spring on plains,this picture shows a 1/2 finished paddock of ploughing on some light land near my place,was pissing down when I took the picture. (padock is being ploughed with a 6 furrow one way plough and 110hp MF ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 We could do with some of that over here to make the grass grow - dull and overcast here. That surprises me, you had rain forecast for the last two days. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Well mate it rained on Tuesday and has been showery since but what it has rained is very little - you must remember we have got very little rain over the past 4-6 weeks and the ground is so hard anybit that does fall just runs off - what we need is about 3 good days of soft rain and that would do more good than 2 weeks of showers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Had a great storm yesterday afternoon, really persisted it down for a good 20 mins. I was carting straw down A38 and couldn't see a dam thing thanks to the rain being blinded by the lightning didn't help either :D . All the traffic slowed right down to 30mph and quite a few trucks had pulled in :o It even blew a manhole cover and lifted up the tarmac just up the road from us, the drains couldn't take it away fast enough, leaving me to play in the puddles and make lot's of bow waves in me tractor ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil P Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 A fun drive home this evening, real wild weather. Branches off trees, a landslip on the back road and flooding where the drains had backed up in Dyce and Bridge of Don. Autumn has arrived early and I now officially declare this the third miserable August in a row. I think the sun has shone only 3 days since the 1st. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
