Had a go at some continuous Gleam yesterday . Middle of the field quite good for the season ,but some poor headlands and patches that got flooded, will pull the average down . If we end up anywhere near 3 ton I’ll be very pleased .

We've nibbled a bit of Feb drilled Siskin treated as a spring wheat and spring barley doing about 1ha of both. Best field of spring barley probably, so not entirely accurate picture, but 7.5 t/ha on the 1ha cut. 8.1 t/ha on the Siskin. Bodes well I think. Spring oats I think will be relatively much poorer because they looked to really suffer with the dry spell.

yes the bit I cut was 7-7.5t/ha at a guess. Went into a bit on some heavier ground and that was better still but not ready so stopped, needs another week.

With the thunderstorms coming middle of the week, we are going to cut all of ours. I don't want a repeat of last year where so much was lost on the ground. We have good air floors so should be able to deal with it.
