I'd be wholecropping that.
I keep thinking about wholecropping mine, but A, we are desperate for the straw, and B, the silage pit is needed for maize, oh and C we would need to sell it at some stage .

Not really an option for us I'm afraid. Had a walk in last night when sheep got out and possibly not as bad as looks.
Plan is to spray when majority at correct stage and the greens will shrivel up but will contribute to straw yield.
The green grains will cool in the shed!!
Done ours at 4l/ha with the view it’ll clear up what’s in the bottom of the crop so we won’t need to spray the stubble before direct drilling end of September.
I might give it a go tomorrow.........weather permitting. One forecast says dry, another showers by 3pm. Fit heads 14.8 %, stick a secondary tiller in and it's way above 20 % 
This harvest really takes the biscuit.

Done my spring barley and winter oats today time will tell if I was right all just for feed though so will probably get a sniff of propcornI might give it a go tomorrow.........weather permitting.

Sprayed half my spring barley and half my winter wheat. The rest on stronger land later drilled needs another week before it’s even fit enough to spray. I think I will be combining into September. I won’t even be starting until later next week. Nothing being harvested around us either apart from the odd patch of OSR. Weirdest latest harvest I have known.
This part of Cambs 90%plus cleared. That’s all crops. Mad

Did mine yesterday - can you see the nice clean lines?
I think its not too bad a crop actually. Rain came just in time

Wierdly for me earliest wheat harvest I've ever known.
I think just doing a t1 and t2 was a reason

Any fusarium on the grains with no late fungicide?

Loads here even with a late fungicide. Teb at T3. All it seems to have done is kept the straw green and slowed ripening.
My best wheat is 2nd year after a ploughed down grass ley. All the light land continuous arable is rubbish. Knadgered by no rain in April or May.

A little yes. On reflection I should have done one. I'll run a seed test on it and tell you how much it has
