It’s not unusual for me to find myself in two minds at this time of year – and I often find myself torn, especially when it comes to the weather. For a while in the arable sector there have been ‘noises of’ looking for a bit of rain and I’d have to admit that some of the crops were definitely looking like they could do with a we drink and something to wash in the top-dressing –although Monday’s deluge wasn’t really called for. Especially so when the other part of my split personality was hoping the rain would stay off for a whiley yet – at least until the hill lambing was over, as dry weather at this time of year plays a big part in securing a decent lamb crop when you’re doing the job outside on rough hill ground.
