Normally this time of the year they would have all of their wheat in the ground, potatoes will be dug up and the oil seed rape growing at ankle height.

They still have a third of their potatoes in the ground and some of their oil seed rape has died due to it being too wet through the winter.

Some potatoes in the ground are now rotten.
