    BYDV spray

    Anyone doing an aphid spray? Agronomist thinks I should on the early stuff (drilled end of Sept), but I think only to cover his arse. I’m not convinced, especially with all this rain, wind and now cold we’re getting. Be hard enough to find a day to even spray it.

    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?
