Since late yesterday arv we have had some very good rain (round 50 mm) it has been nice and gentle with the odd heavy shower. A lot of farmers would have been looking out for this rain for weeks. It has lowered the temps as well which is great.
As far as the figures for the year go, on paper we are not far behind our yearly total (610 mm 24") but its not a true indication of moisture in the ground. We have been in drought, around Tamworth for about 4 years. A lot of people on the land are only just hanging on. This rain may hopefully bring some hope to them
The Super Markets don't really reflect the situation on the land because the shelves still have stock on them which may have come from another supplier in another area or imported from where ever
Happy Christmas to all our farmers and my hope for you is to have a more prosperous New Year
