Farmers welcome rain

“If we’d missed this rain, there’d have been a lot of long faces. If we can get around 20 to 30 millimetres over the coming two or three weeks it’d also be fantastic.”

The rain gives the start to some feed and crops; it has been incredibly dry of late.

“The last three or four years have been perfect rain-wise. It’s not always like this for farmers,” Mr Sargood said.
