A little cooler for now?
Hi, it’s Colin, we’re out on the ground with the consultants I mentioned this morning who are doing the value chain analysis. I’m just taking a few pretty general photographs of harvesters working…
We’re in a field not far from Harleston in Suffolk and we’re looking at quite a successful crop of peas. A lot of the pods are filled so we’re getting quite a good yield from this crop. Also, it’s very pleasant today, quite a lot fresher than it has been for almost ten days now. This is making conditions much more comfortable for us:-)
The hot weather impacts the quality, causing the peas to dry out and get a little more chewy, not quite as tender as we’d like them to be. Hopefully the cooler weather will bring back the high quality crop we expect.
Although that said, looking at the forecast, this may be only a temporary respite…
We’ll see how we go and keep you informed, good-bye.
