Alan Chilton of Atchley Manor Farm, Ryton, Shifnal, Telford sent in this picture which shows a fodder beet crop which was ripped apart by the wind on Sunday, 22 June. He estimates that he has lost about half of the 13 acre field - the crop having been almost sand-blasted by the combination of the wind and the light, sandy soil.
