No, there is no point growing half a crop. But you might be able to grow 95% of a crop more cost effectively

How come we can grow 17/18 ton of maize per acre with just muck underneath , yet are frightened to see what wheat will do. If your lands in good heart it’s time to make it work for you .
crops look well, so won’t be rushing with early N if they stay looking good .
I finished sowing 24th september , it needs a feed soon
No, all feed barley here. Long way to the malting from Cornwall
There is a small amount of Maris Otter grown in Cornwall to produce malt for Cornish Beer
If it’s roots are down it’ll perk up come spring

Surely a lot of 21 crop will be sold already, given good prices? Supply must surely be tight until harvest, so can’t see any reason for any substantial drops.
Loading a couple of loads of non-FA feed barley out at £215 today. That’ll do.
I could have bought that off you and magicked up another £15 ton
Get it eaten off with some sheep thatll green it up or brown it up
im up for £230 ex!

Had this conversation re yellow barley, just needs a bit of warmth and a dry bed. Some around here like all their N on before April is done I was always told you need to feed the flag leaf.

Makes sense grow for your markets . Pretty much all my barley gets fed to my beef cattle and walks off the farm

Same here. Looked positively ill a couple of weeks ago and black green now.
Some of my neighbours barley is walking off our farm this year.
Our barley this year is all hopefully going to be peed down the toilet.
