Getting a little dry

teslacoils · May 19, 2019

We are still very, very dry. Was one of those "too dry to soak in" moments given the intensity of it.

Lost his arms aged 2 in a grain auger his use of a smart phone with his toes makes me feel pretty useless.

Siskin flag and leaf three curlier than a curly thing on sandy clay after grass. It's almost as if its reducing its surface area at exactly the same time I want to coat it with expensive fungicides.

That does look dry.

81mm of rain here since January 1st, only 16mm this month. It is not looking pretty out there. Have stopped T2's as I think it will do more harm than good. Friend near Evesham moaning this morning because 18mm of rain in the last 2 days meant it was a bit moist for spraying....probably just as well he was 40 miles away!!

V dry here, and wheats starting to suffer. Bit annoying when we get 20mm and others nearby get 30. Or they get 5 and I get 1.
Glad I cut back a bit on N, just wondering whether to cut back on T2

Sorry tesla, but well respected posters are not allowed to post bullc++p such as the above.

I hear you...Saturday was 12 hours of frustration watching heavy clouds pass just to the north. 1-2 mm by 9 am and i thought we were on a winner. Nothing else the whole weekend.
Long back and forth with agronomist this pm...Elatus Plus into 12 month storage, Comet on order. Ear and Flag proline plus comet. Mildew protection here and there Possibly overkill.

Its almoust no Rain at all not to say more. Only 13mm since 26 march. Reduced N from 180 to 120. No fungicides,, no growth regulators ... Dont want to spend any cent, as I feel it will be Hard to get it back this year. This chart I got from insurance company.... Even from satelite it looks bine dry
