Seen spring barely send out in fields where 1/3 of the field hasn't germinated.

that will be heavy land?

yes, not real real heavy, but heavier than what most on here call heavy
Land that can stand a lot of dry weather once it has ground cover, not really spring barley ground to be honest

Well in the last fortnight mine has gone from looking like a very decent crop to a very poor one. All the tillers have died off and its put up one ear per plant and is just managing to keep the flag leaf and leaf 2 green everything below that is now dead or dieing. Even my spring triticale on stronger land is pushing up one ear all the tillers are there but not doing anything and that's a crop on moisture retentive land and a crop which is supposed to cope with drought.

I capitulated and put some manganese and CCC on some barley this evening to make the old man happy. But I left the wide wheels on which made him sad.

Our worst piece, unfortunately it's an 72 acre piece. Our second worst piece is an 83 acre field

perhaps the only bit of silver lining in the rather dull cloud, both fields are bought and paid for. That said we do have some AHA & FBT tenancies. Do you mean £250/ acre or hectare ??
an acre we have some very ambtious ex harpur strokers round here.
Laureate this evening , broadcast 18th Apr. into pretty dried out soil and only had one nights decent showers on it since, its our best field atm.

There are huge areas of crop like this, S Wheat, Peas, S Beet, S Beans, etc.
Looking at some of these pictures and seeing twitter, spring barley harvest looks like it may actually be smaller than last year despite the extra amount grown. Our crops are doing okay on the clay but may do 6t/ha if we are lucky, last year we were doing between 7.5-9t/ha on spring barley.

I won't say that heavy land spring barley is all poor round here but I'd say half is poor to very poor ranging from 10 to 30 percent emerged. Maybe a quarter of the area is reasonable. The rest is on the cusp and a lot of the "planted" area won't be combined. Speaking to agronomists, mine is not the only crop that has not had more than manganese and chlormequat. And now folk are finding blackgrass in it.

Looking a bit pale but overall pretty good considering the lack of moisture

Are those wheel marks you can see from rollers, or drill tractor?

Possibly roller marks, too wide for drill marks
