Heavy rain sinks farmers' crops hopespublished at 07:35 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2018
The rainy winter has been causing problems for farmers who've been struggling to work the land.
Cornwall has had some of the wettest weather so far in January, with west Cornwall seeing 56% more rain than average.
One farm near Exeter says crops are in danger of being damaged because of recent frosts followed by a thaw.
Delays in working the soil also disrupt the planting of new crops.
On the Tamar Valley in south east Cornwall, livestock farmer Martin Howlett, added that one of the problems was "the constant rain".
He said: "We don't get more than three or four days to let the ground dry out. It's just running all over the fields."
The weather station at RNAS Culdrose has recorded 177mm of rain this month (Jan average = 113.3mm) that's a 56% rise.
