Got to be best man at a wedding the end of the week so that's an unmissable date whatever! Lots of family up there so even if we don't catch up anything it's still a good time.

It must do something it can be a problem to clean out of the sprayer if you leave it too long. I figured it might give you piece of mind while you are pursuing the elusive whopper!
I reckon 4 weeks if you leave out the Glypho.
Neighbour reckons his 6 row Bazooka not much more than two weeks away.

I reckon the glypho needs four weeks to do the job! Can see us spraying some off a week on Sunday - apart from am away that day so will be the Monday - and then getting all excited in three weeks, cutting 100m then packing up for another week.

Where do you see your barley relative to your OSR?

It says on the can 21 days! But that doesn't stop people round here cutting 5/7 days after spraying!

If your on the Crathes stretch of river Dee. That's our farm we rent. Can let me know what you think of our crops!

Had a day on one of the Park beats a month or so ago which is not so very far away! Lovely part of the world, although my fishing home is Lochinver.

The ground on park beat is best land in Deeside. Nether Balfour a great farm. @AndrewB grows tatties there.

Quite a bit of it seemed to be disappearing down the river when I was there!
I did see once a field being sprayed *with what I cannot be sure* and then cut three days later. Was wheat. Can only presume it was water.
There is always one, and usually the same one, who needs to be first in OSR. It wont be me.
Cutting or spraying? We are quite ahead in terms of development. I will take some tramline greens as they crisp up in the heap. I'd like to think if we sprayed off barley in about a fortnight that it would be ready a good fortnight after. Should be cut a week before we even start the rape. OSR varies from quite toasted now (early drilled Extrovert) to green (later drilled something or other).

Holds moisture in and make your combine sticky, also knocks seed out when applying.

I have for the last 20 years.
I was wondering if the rotaries coped better than the walkers with green stalks.
Guy who used to do my combining had to wait for a load of cabernet and sesame one year as it just wouldn't have it, kept bridging over the chopper. Seed was fit but stalks were very green.
