| Heavy rain in recent days has delayed the corn harvest again, as it has in previous summers, and the fields hereabouts, such as this one between Bourne and Dyke village which I can see from my study window, are still full of standing wheat and barley whereas at this time of the year they should be covered with straw bales and stubble. This is | not so much climate change as our usual erratic weather pattern and it was ever thus, even in the earliest times, but as before, within days we will hear the hum of the combine as the crop is safely gathered in yet again, the harvest acting as a marker for the farming year which continues much the same whatever the weather. |
