2011 : Wheat field near Marsh Farm Ripening well, will need rain soon or the yield will be down. May be too late already. No fun being a farmer, either too much rain or too little, too much sun or too little, but look on the bright side, if everything were perfect there would be nothing to moan about.

P.S. Shouldn't be rude about farmers, on the whole they are pleasant, helpful and fairly happy.
