In general?
I would say there will be some crops locally do 100% but also others that do 20

I reckon mine will probably do 80/90% of last year but not a record year.

1st and 3rd wheat look 'normal' to good, whereas 2nd wheat just isn't thriving at all, it's just not 'colouring up' after last weeks 13mm of rain. Purple stems point to phosphate possibly caused by ammonium sulphate sitting on the roots.
Late sown wheat that looked horrendous through winter now romping on and thickening up nicely.
On balance, 80 to 90% of average yield, but lots to factor in before August.

Could go either way and too soon to possibly know.
Wet growy May and a proper nice mellow sunny June/July and what is drilled has normal to good potential.
Stay dry, and near 90deg temps for a week early June will see game over for those of us on the stony ground.

Middle of fields 80/90%. Headlands 50-75%.
We normally do better in a dryer year.

Pretty much sums the situation up here as well. We won’t be braking any yield records. But on the whole there is still a fair bit of potential if the weather starts to play nicely. Looking at the current forecast that’s not looking so likely, as this weekends potential rain has disappeared and nothing else for a fortnight.

Somewhere between 0 and 40%. Only just struggling into stem extension.

Certain that our wheat will break records here. I'd be surprised to cut more than 200t of cereals from my 450ac, and all my dad's and brothers arable is fallow.

A damn good soaking would improve things here.only 18mm in last 7/8 weeks

So are we looking at sub ten million tons in uk?

The question was what will it yield. The other question is how much did you get drilled?

I need rain sometime in next 10 days or things will start to go backwards
Never have managed to get any yield off bare headlands.... Would gladly settle for 7.5t/ha over whole field which would be 20+ % down on a normal year, whatever that is? Also have lost some planned autumn wheat area to replacement spring wheat which looks more like 5 to 6 t/ha potentially. I suspect theres quite a few farmers in that boat!
Same here.
Our smaller fields mean bigger proportion of headlands so still expecting 50% WW (40% WB).

Last year was such a great wheat growing year so everything was a record for us. This year will be a let down what ever
