Fen Peas

You would not believe that there is a 6 metre drill in that cloud of dust! These peas are going into moisture and should get away OK. Again though, we are constantly losing moisture everytime we move the soil. Our fears are that we end up with a deluge of rain. It is still a bit early to predict, but I think it would be fair to say that at this stage it is hard to see us getting good yields. In fact if I was selling peas forward, I would be holding back. For the past three weeks we have been forecast some sort of rain. We haven't seen any! So how is it that the forecasters seem able to predict a dry summer, when they are finding it so difficult to forecast a day or two ahead!
