A couple of days ago Farmers Weekly noticed that farmers seem to be censoring out the wet weather problems when it came to the Harvest Highlights Picture Gallery - but not any more. Here's a flavour of some of the pictures that have since come in:

Tricky Dicky took this shot which is an unusual image - but an all too familiar sight - in many parts of the country at the moment.

The sky may look bright but the combines aren't moving. The winter barley has been finished so S & K Clarke from North Norfolk are waiting on dry weather for the spring barley and wheat.
