Abstract
Daily rainfall data for twenty years in arable farming areas are analysed with respect to four standards of drainage and for three lengths of schedule of spring work. Distribution and frequency in time of available work days are interpreted in terms of lateness of sowing and of barley yield. Formulae are established to calculate average yield loss in terms of drainage standard and work schedule, enabling estimates to be made of the effect of planned improvements.
