However in typical farming fashion the weather is behaving badly and Lemon Grove Research Farm is under water

The water is receding fairly quickly however with the trial paddock now reasonably water free after been totally covered in water at 6am this morning

Mmh its looks like everyone will be coming to see how our pasture recovers from too much  water

The home farm Clover Hill is also waterlogged and sadly the dangers of farming are only too apparent to all the team after this accident this morning that left the tractor a write off and the driver thankfully in one piece

I send a special thank you to John Deere for making tractors that help save lives.
