Prospects for four consecutive completely dry days for haymaking in the UK are
moderate at best, favoured areas will be coastal strips and in the SW but even
here confidence is low.



Haymaking? Wasn't that last week? Corn harvests do you mean?


Hay and silage is made at different times in different places, depending
on needs. Because of an agri-environmental contract, I cannot cut my
hayfields before 15th July (giving flowers and grass time to set their
seeds). Some farmers take two crops each year.
