Fen Peas

Despite a picture showing a healthy crop, I think it is now fair to say that conditions are very much like 2007! Something that we were all trying to forget! It is very dry out there and proving a constant challenge to get crops established. In the main most crops have germinated well, but there will inevitably be fields where the soil varies which will lead to erratic emergence. This makes life difficult at harvest. We are now in the final run in and will hopefully have all the peas drilled next week. However we will need rain if we are to get anything like a normal crop.
