    How much have you planted and how much is lost

    about half the wheat area in here , lost probably 10% , after a general low yield harvest looks like another one on the way , surely there must be some rise in prices to come or are we going to get shafted properly to keep the majority happy ?

    Winter barley in January?

    It’s now very wet here and another 8 days at least of rain forecast, barely is not drilled and no hope before bonfire night. I have dressed seed… so, if (I know unlikely) we had a beautiful January is there any reason why drilling winter barley then would fail/make an unviable crop?
