Wheat not vernalised

North Warwickshire. It had cold weather but I think the biggest factor was it was so dry to start with it didn’t germinate hence no chance to vernalise.

My Jan and Feb drillings are only just poking the ears out now.
Must say it's been a relief to see it start, for ages it looked rubbish, but actually now I think it's probably got better potential than a lot of later planted spring wheat due to the droughty weather.

Someone local took on some ground( rented) at Christmas and decided to drill wheat early March, around 80 acs. It looks ok from road but must have a look to see if it's got an ear or not . Will be expensive mistake if not .
