Cornish farming suffering at the hands of unpredictable weather

We've never had the dry spell we went through last autumn, it's been wet for two months, it'll be dry next month and now we're still here thinking it'll be dry next week but actually we've just looked at the forecast and hopefully we might get a few dry days but it's not looking fantastic.

We're sort of struggling with finding ways of getting out of fields without causing too much damage. It is so muddy out here and our biggest problem with daffodils is they can't be muddy, so we've got to try and keep them clean too.

The weather has been remarkably awful this spring. It's been horrible for the pickers because it's been horribly wet out here and cold and some of the days have been very cold but the daffodils grow slowly so we can pick them all and we haven't had the rush you get on a warm day.

Trying to lamb with snow on the ground, we all had to fill our sheds up with sheep because you couldn't turn them out because the ground was covered in snow.

One of the worst things for lambs is being cold and wet. Now sheep can cope with cold dry weather but not cold wet weather that can get through them. But most of us lambed in March because it should be easier you should have a bit of sun and the grass growing and springs happening but it's definitely not happening here at the moment.
