How have you managed to deal with it?
5:42
So we have irrigation systems built into the farm here.

We have, I can't remember how many litres it is, but a large reservoir on the farm and an underground main system.

We fill that in the winter.
6:03
when the water's high and hope it lasts all summer.
6:06
Yeah, really hot, nice summer, to be honest.
6:13
It has definitely caused a lot of irrigation, but on the whole, we are relatively well geared up on the vegetable side to deal with that.
