Topped the rushes today. Earliest I've ever been able to do this as the ground was quite dry only a few wet patches.Is this a sign of global warming reaching Wales? :thinking:

We have curlew and lapwing here, as well as snipe, grouse, partridge and pheasant, so topping this early in the year is a no-no.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

I've chained a couple of the drier fields but the others still have damp patches so global warming has missed my acreage...
