Summary:
Farmers in the UK, especially in the south-east are of England have faced a very strange and uncommon year. It is not really bad, but just strange. There is hardly any frost, temperature have not been below zero degrees yet and the fruit that is growing has not vanished yet because of the warm temperatures. That they got fruit at the end of November is very strange. Last December the temperature was very cold, now it still is very warm. Overall it has been a dry year. 17 inches of rain so far. Normally they get around 30 inches. Major concern at the moment is that the reservoir to store our water is very low. They haven’t been able to fill it yet. They need more rain because the ground is so dry. Farmers see this as a difficult challenge.
My opinion:
I can imagine how hard it must be for farmers to face with a very strange and unusual year. Each year a farmer does the same routine. He starts planting fruits and vegetables and after a while he harvests them, but this year it has been different because of the warm weather England has dealth with the last couple of months. It must be very hard to be a farmer in the UK right now. Dealing with situations you have never dealth with before. I hope all the farmers can come up with a solutions to this unusual situation.
