Harvest nears finish as Borders dodge worst of rain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
'Potato lifting has gone well and harvest is nearly complete across much of Scotland, but lower cereal yields and volatile global grain markets continue to cloud the outlook for growers' We are still experiencing some warm dry sunny days as September comes to a close. Now that daylight hours are fast become less following the autumn equinox we have seen the first frosty morning this past week here in the Borders. There has been a few heavy periods of rain but not enough to stop the potato harves

Read excerpt
AS September progresses towards the autumn equinox and daylight hours reduce more quickly, there is now that end-of-summer feeling with temperatures gradually dropping and thoughts of getting some heating on as winter approaches.
