How much rain have you had this month? We’ve got away lightly compared to some with just over 100mm.Wet tramlines drains running
all crops desperately need dry weather warmers temperatures and some sunny bright weather
or if it stay dull and wet into June yields will be no better than last year uk 13 million tonnes of wheat or less
Looks well thoughKerrin on the right Grafton on the left, after beans, drilled last week in September. Seem to be constantly rogueing Ryegrass ATM View attachment 963191
Thinking we just need sunshine now.Looks well though
Definitely! Not looking to promising at the moment though And another 10 -14 days of this and I doubt it will be to late for grain fill on the winter barleys . I was hoping for some big bold grains with the barley been on the thinner shorter side but not holding my breath now.Thinking we just need sunshine now.
Same here, luckily I haven't got to much in.Definitely! Not looking to promising at the moment though ☹ And another 10 -14 days of this and I doubt it will be to late for grain fill on the winter barleys .

I'm sure there's a whole section on here of people wanting to alleviate your problem...?
Close season until 1st August.I'm sure there's a whole section on here of people wanting to alleviate your problem...?
@nxy when does barley harvest usually start for you?
I would gladly come down and help out with the problem, the stags on most deer are in season at the moment as the does may have dependents. There is actually a law which states that you can cull deer out of season if they are "actively cause damage" not that I would do that unless I knew the doe did not have a dependent, which you could never tell.
Can get a special licence to control themI'm sure there's a whole section on here of people wanting to alleviate your problem...?
Yes, they're classed as vermin if damaging crops and can prove it to get a license ! Also need to hammer them in season, as opposed to "manage" numbers..! Which effectively means stalkers taking out trophies and leaving general population for a lifetimes stalking....Can get a special licence to control them
get evidence
Yes, unfortunately the number taken out last season was everywhere much reduced due to many orders being cancelled from restaurants shut by Covid.hammer them in season,
