Wheat and barley has really altered this last couple of days and is now getting hold of the fert.
It will look black in a week's time as I've just given the barley all its N and the wheat has now had 75% of total N.
I want to get it into the crop while we have moisture as I fear this spring could be like the last one.

Is that AD digestate? How much do you normally put on in one go? I’ve been offered some which at the proposed application rate would be putting on 165n 50p 140k/ ha. I am a bit nervous at putting that much on pre growth stage 30 in one hit but is it all available straight away? I certainly wouldn’t be putting that much n on out of the bag at that timing.

Its fine.
Soil type etc has an effect. Cold clay, so only really just thinking about growing. Has had urea on as well. So set up with fert until late April.
Looks like this now. Ideally I'd like to roll it next week, then t0 week after.

Mung beans, on 1 metre rows. So far, they have survived the mice ( although we have baited them twice with a plane, before these big rains ) & potential flooding. Not getting too excited yet, but there is potentially a lot of money sitting out there

My wheat and barley have improved a lot since the first dose of double top last monday.few days of warmth would be very wellcome too and think that will come early next week.lots of rape locally starting to flower and some shockingly bad.

Think your part of the world will be a week ahead of us here.
You should do - it's been a long enough wait, already.
Was it 4yrs without rain, or only 3?

Will my barley go flat? It had quite a lot of muck last year.

As always here depends on the weather! I have not used a growth regulator in 15 years but this year I might. Crops here look probably the best I have known coming out of the winter for a very long time. The only exception would be one or two fields of peas and beans which (if I am honest) I drilled too early and the frost affected them.
