Winter crop

[Dale]

Hi all,
I was just woundering how many of your farms still havent got there winter crop in, around the Bristol area there is still alot of stubble in wet and boggie fields. The farmers has tryed to plough the fields to burie the wetter rubbish on top just to lose the field the next day to rain.
Me and Stever was chatting to a farmer just before christmas, he said to us this year has now gone but I must try to get this winter crop in by the middle of January, it now february 10th and the fields are the same.
Its better for us we have longer to detect the land, but its also nice to have two weeks of flat planted fields.
It looks like anther bad year for the farmers !!!!
