We are having such a wonderful season out here, blessed by rains just at the right time. Crops are stunning, livestock are fat and the only thing taking the shine off things is the threat of locusts. It's always there at the back of your mind, and while we all hope they won't be as bad as we're told, it is a worry. They were here in force in autumn, chewing away, and we saw them laying too. The authorities seem to have done as much planning as they can, but the fear is can we all cope? Let's hope that it works out. We all need this good year to put our faith back into farming.

Oh well, prepare as much as we can and keep our eyes open for hatching. Beyond that there isn't much that can be done so best to try not to worry (as hard as that can be!)
