My new rain gauge has just arrived in the post (I mowed the last one!), so I wonder does that mean we won't be getting any more rain!
I thought you guys were getting plenty of rain up north. Obviously very patchy there also.Nothing up here for weeks now spring crops starting too struggle now
Not just lack of rain, but also been bloody cold all year not allowing crops to make any use of moisture when it there.I thought you guys were getting plenty of rain up north. Obviously very patchy there also.
Seen someone irrigating wheat this morning
Same here - could actually have done with 47.7 mm here in east Dorset
Same here... get some late cover crops and BB mix growing, and might even have some hay to cut later!8mm today. Could do with a drop more but it’s better than nothing.
Ears now out in every field planted before 10 Oct.First ears of wheat before the weekend.
bit early still?Ears now out in every field planted before 10 Oct.
Maybe but we have had 25mm In April and 15mm in May so the local light land will be rocketing through the growth stagesbit early still?
drought stress?Maybe but we have had 25mm In April and 15mm in May so the local light land will be rocketing through the growth stages
even our clays are starting to get on with it now with no drought affect
Ideally, we need 25mm/week here, rather than 25mm/month.Maybe but we have had 25mm In April and 15mm in May so the local light land will be rocketing through the growth stages
Might get something Monday and will see the rest of the weekMore rain due tonight and looking a fair chance of rain most days for the coming week.
If we get some rain this week another half an inch will do then we might be looking to 2019 but I don’t want to get to far aheadIdeally, we need 25mm/week here, rather than 25mm/month.
Yields now expected to be 60% of normal.
