Probably not the only one in this position.
We generally use Urea and at the moment no rain ? and been warm and sunny.
The situation I have is wheat has only had 40u and its sulphur, half S Barley (now emerging) has had nothing, 2nd half S Barley, I had the sense to put a 3rd of its N in...
It brackles. It breaks down. It lodges. Heads twist off in the wind. Hungry pigeons flatten it.
Given it won't sit and wait like wheat does, just how much spring barley can be cut with current capacity? For those going wall to wall spring cereals and who need contractors to cut, are you happy...
Morning, below I have the results of the recent seed test I have had carried out on my barley. Planning to drill as early as I can on heavy land in Suffolk. Would you just re clean ( as I have done for 3 years ) or use a seed treatment?
LAB NO.

We're evidently in a hosepipe ban zone here, as we've managed to get most of our drilling done after the rain started. We haven't had as much wet as a lot of you, but the ground has taken what we have had well and leaving the weedy stubble has supported the drill nicely. We've been impressed...
Having quite a good year on spring barley and generally getting good nitrogen levels.
However we generally try and guess how much N the crop will need without going over and is very hit and miss. We use a lot of organic manures also. Obviously yield is an important factor.
How else can we...
Still mulling over rotation and a few other things, one aim is to be 100% HSS for all grain.
But was wondering if you can drill spring barley varieties as winter?
Will have both Sienna and Propino.
Note I’m on free draining sandy soil close to south coast of Devon
Am I mad to even think it?
Ive a couple of fields of spring barley that's are very lush....what would be the best pgr to go in at and at what rate, ideally to thicken the stem and take a bit of future height of it. It's just started stem extention. I've canopy, moddus and cerone in store.
This is the big question that is constantly being asked ,
Are you going to drill OSR this autumn , consistently the best break crop margin , ok it has a fair bit of hassle to grow , pigeons , slugs etc.
But my big question is this, have we reached peak CSFB yet, 95% of our OSR will make it to...
Got some new seed tgw is 40 ( rest has been high 50s) seed looks crap looks like seconds will it grow?! Don’t think the seed will have the energy in it to tiller?
I know I know not as dry as Australia, but for growing good wheat 5 mm of rain so far this month following an exceptional dry winter is not go to be filling the barn, let's just hope we get a 15mm-25mm before the end of the month.
Every year in the east mids we see to have a spring drought now.
What are peoples on total N requirement for spring barley following grazed stubble turnips all winter with sewage digestate applied pre drilling?
This is on light ground and a mix of either Propino or Sienna. Grown for feed or on a seed contract.
Also one field also had vetch mixed in with the...
I’m planning on sowing some spring barley and ringing around I was advised by one company (probably because that’s all they’ve got left) to use kws irina, after reading about it it’s saying it’s more a brewing variety....just spoken to another merchant and he advised using planet in this...
I want to spray a 30 acre section of a field off with roundup this week, the field currently has Hoggs in it....how long would I have to take the sheep out for after spraying before I could let them back In? Many thanks
In the past we have grown a small acreage of Planet spring barley quite successfully, this year can’t get seed but been offered Propino. Is it any good, are there any issues ?
Many Thanks
MGH
