farmers to to sow crops. joining me now is dan belcher, a farmer in melton mowbray. tell us, how has the weather affected your farm this year? it's been very trying. spring and winter. we have just it's been very trying. spring and winter. we havejust finished lambing, the weather has been very wet and cold, we have managed to escape a lot of snow thankfully but i know some farmers further north and south who were heavily caught in the snow since three weeks ago. we are almost halfway through this season, it's too wet to get the cows out onto the ground. talk to a specifically about how heavy rain has affected you. we have quite a heavy clay here, almost flash

flooding, the ground is waterlogged, the water cannot get anywhere, we had rain again last friday night and a couple of days dry will stop the animals are sitting in water with water on top of them, it causes pretty heavy losses. it is one to test us this time of year. you sent us some test us this time of year. you sent us some pictures which i think we can look at now. this gives us some sense of the kind of conditions you are talking about. talk us through the ale of hay that we are seeing, clearly important, we can see the wet weather there. it's pretty unusual this time of year to be turning lambs out, the lambs are to do three days old realistically, we don't have the space to be holding them back. the flash floods, we need to give them plenty of decent feeding, we have been going right up

there with hay and solid barley feed to keep those lambs going. to keep their bellies full. lambs have been dying, is that right? yes, we have been suffering far greater losses than a normal winter, definitely. it is purely down to the weather. that lack of grass that is there will not have a lot of quality in it. it has been a situation that is difficult. have you had to buy in to try to alleviate the situation? how much have you had to spend? straw has doubled in price from this time last year, we are paying upwards of £200 for straw. hay would be used a lot more than last year as well on the open market. clearly a big impact for you, will you have to pass any of those costs on to the consumer in any way? we are governed more by the livestock markets we sell through,

so livestock markets we sell through, soi livestock markets we sell through, so i suppose there may be a shortage of lambs when it comes to selling, if so then the price may be as likely greater. what we're hearing is the whole country is suffering losses. 0n is the whole country is suffering losses. on that basis, it might be higher prices in the markets, yes. have you ever known anything like this before? i haven't, i've been farming at home for ten years, even my mother and father have said they have never known such a long, heavy spring, you usually get a miserable day then four or five days of sunshine but it has been day after day of cold and wet. you have to ta ke day of cold and wet. you have to take what they throw at you, not a lot we can do about it. what happens if it carries on raining? we forecast a few fine days in the coming days that if it starts raining again, what effect that have this coming winter? we have a lot of

spring sorting to do, if they're a critical grass that has not been drilled, further on, the knock—on effect is already looking into the spring yields, we would have hoped to have barley weeks ago, that will affect the yield when it comes to harvest. if the reality is that we can expect wetter weather in the future, ourfarmers like can expect wetter weather in the future, our farmers like you can expect wetter weather in the future, ourfarmers like you going to perhaps had to adapt and change the way you do things? certainly. we try our best to adapt to the situation we have got. whether it's providing housing or changing your crop plans, there are various ways around it if it looks like it will carry on in this trend will certainly have two address it make the best of the situation. really good to to you, thanks to you for taking the time out. the forecast is for a few dry days
