Beating the weather

This morning the last fields, both meadows and pastures, got treated to slurry.
Now all we need is some gentle rain to wash it in.
Then some warm sun to make the grass grow.

And when the ground is not too soft but not too hard (just right for Goldilocks) we'll start rolling.
And if it's too compacted, then aerating.
And if there are any big lumps of muck, or mole hills, then chain harrowing.

The we sit back and wait for the pastures to grow to let the cows out, and the meadows to grow for silaging.
