due to all this rain recently - crop spraying seems to be doing very well once again spraying potatoes when normal sprayers cant reach due to the water/mud.

The articles say that only 3 chemicles are now allowed to be aerial sprayed. One of which is bracken which seems to be the only thing keeping the industry going in the uk.

The quoted price for a jet ranger is now £30 and acre!!! A bit different from the £9 it used to be!
