He added: “We are worried. This is the coldest April for 60 years. There has been a frost somewhere in the UK for every day of the month and it’s a long, long time since we have had that. It’s damaged some crops.”
It also meant they had to irrigate much earlier than normal. “We have virtually been irrigating for a month in a period where we would not expect to be irrigating.”

A senior Suffolk farmer has urged caution over gene editing UK crops after the government put its weight behind the technology.
Environment secretary George Eustice launched a consultation on future regulation of gene editing (GE) in a speech to the Oxford Farming Conference on Thursday, January 7.
“Its potential was blocked by a European Court of Justice ruling in 2018 which is flawed and stifling to scientific progress. Now that we have left the EU, we are free to make coherent policy decisions based on science and evidence. That begins with this consultation,” said Mr Eustice.
