The wet conditions are not helping.

The recent weather conditions affecting some farmers in the Fosse 107 area.

Poplar farm on the Long Shoot in Nuneaton grows potatoes, oil seed rape and vegetables on around 400 acres of land.

Normally this time of the year they would have all of their wheat in the ground, potatoes will be dug up and the oil seed rape growing at ankle height.

They still have a third of their potatoes in the ground and some of their oil seed rape has died due to it being too wet through the winter.

Some potatoes in the ground are now rotten.
