    Just How Much Spring Barley Can Be Cut In England?

    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...

    How's it gone/going?

    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...

    Spring malting barley N - agronomics

    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...

    Spring as Winter

    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?

    Getting a little dry

    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.
