Sunrise this morning was pretty great. 😍👌🏼

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@seedspecialist @handles4forks I'm hoping the Hallmark they got on Monday night has slowed them down a bit. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

What I believe is Army Worm absolutely decimating our drought ridden Sugarbeet. Never heard of it before. This year can Foxtrot Oscar.

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@seedspecialist @handles4forks Yes I'm led to believe they have made it over from the continent. Maybe on all those warm easterly winds we've had?

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@benpattinson1 😂 Goes nicely, if you ignore my Instagram commentary!

Overkill is a myth.

@GaryHarrison Not for a long time

@woodboroughpark @handles4forks I'm not sure we'll have a crop to harvest at this rate. Have attempted to kill them.

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@QuijoteMike We've given it a go.

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@handles4forks And me, and my Father and my agronomist! I saw a patch on the bank, close to the rock assumed it was drought. Went and had a look, between checking on Saturday & spraying on Monday I think they'd munched another 30%.

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@ultimapaul Yes & they remained firmly in the toolbox!

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@wigtoftfarmer Not enough yield for cab corn!

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

The Costa Del Wye looking magnificent. 👌🏼

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@gtfcjonnyturner Unbelievable scenes. Had a look at our Wheat on the floodplain this evening, it's not much wetter than your OSR!

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

Sun's coming up. Started at 4am, Moisture hovering around 12%. 🫠

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@st3venwilliams 😂🍻

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

When the moisture meter can't read the moisture it's time to go home. Jesus wept.

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

@st3venwilliams I think 4am
