The unexpected heavy rain on Saturday night meant an early morning text to three staff, cancelling the drive across to Shalford with the combine.  There was a change of plan, we wait for the wind to pick up and dry the fields of wheat just enough to start combining on Sunday afternoon at Park Farm.    

This is probably the most pressured time of year, and once the crops are ready they must be brought in as swiftly as possible, resulting in very long hours.  Every window of dry weather at the moment means that the combine and tractors will be rolling on into the night.  Last night was a relatively early finish at 10pm.

Today has been a wash-out!
