We have been in touch with the farmer, Mr Clark, today to anticipate when the airfield grass will need cutting. Generally it is OK at present, but we expect growth in the next week to require it to be cut next week (commencing 7 July). The farmer has agreed to do this. Please remember that the farmer needs value out of the grass in return for the nil cost to us, so timing has to be balanced. It is also a two to three day operation with > 1 tractor and manpower. The last cut was 2-3 June. I met with Mr Clark on 14 June and once notes of that meeting are agreed I shall summarise them.
