    Rain.

    Go to hell!


    We don't need anymore till next year. Two inches again and still pouring on top of 5 a week ago and almost 1 more in between.


    Should have bought a tracked Lexion cause we ain't gonna go nowhere with tires.


    If I could send this rain somewhere dry I would. Nature is a cruel mistress

            2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, and a little unseeded in 2013, and 2014 for good measure. Why?

                Who was it that suggested the yr.no site again? Plugged "helmsdale" in and it actually located me... think im not so keen on is it forecasting 27mm of unnecessary (for this year at least) rain next wed/thurs! Suppose i could check another forecast till i can find one i like. But then wunderground has 0.5" over the same period. Drew calling for something widespread next week?

                  How have you been able to survive with that many flooded years??? Agristablity, crop insurance outside sources. I can't see how a farm can prosper in those conditions, way too many crop failures!!

                    forage farmer. Frugal living. But riders doesn't believe me! I have never said I have been prospering, trust me on that. I am not in agstability. Have had one yield based crop insurance payment and some too wet to seed payments. No outside sources unfortunately.

                    Has been tough. But again, my family and I live frugal. No toys, no holidays. No prospering either.
