Driving in to the office this morning which currently involves a two hour commute along some of the worst roads imaginable and I was greeted by the sight of green'ish fields completely free from snow.
How very strange because the day before it was white out with Arctic like snow drifts coming off the fields and falling snow.
They say 24 hours is a long time in politics, it also seems to be true of agronomy.
I pulled over for look at some oilseed rape and it didn't look half bad at all, I may even go as far to say it looked the best I've ever seen coming out of a Ukrainian winter for some time.
It was only about 200ha so not exactly a representative sample but as early indications go I think we may have a decent foundation for the 2012 crop.
