All fields of spring barley have varying degrees of storm damage here on the Norfolk Suffolk border. The late rains taking up the nitrogens real quick and making the plants leggy. Wheats are generally ok.....so far!

Quite early for Scottish Spring barley and Winter wheat crops to be going down. No real weight in the heads yet. If we get the same weather in a fortnights time then things will not look pretty.

Where we've middens and bits doubled with drill have went flat already.

Drill overlaps are going down here, in both crusoe and sky fall.
Apart from that it's just the bleeding wildlife making a ruddy mess.

You had better get used to it because if the do goodders get their way, the small wildlife, slugs and aphids will do far more damage!

I insisted I wasn`t using growth reg again this year on Grafton and Evolution
Might next year on evolution
Grafton fine

The wheats that are going flat this year: is it root lodging, or stems going over ?

I've noticed that in the Siskin (still standing) that the thicker / double drilled areas are a 'bit light' in the rooting department, but the poorly tillered 'and / or' thiner sown (VRA) areas have roots like mangrove trees.

Maybe the cold north easterlies in Feb / March were a blessing in disguise...

Good point, PSQ.

Just done the final wild oat walk through a couple of fields of Graham.

Double drilled areas have all gone over - can't do much about that in a year like this.

Where it's a bit thin, however, due to crows, to slugs, to deer, to the poor seed supplied and/or to my low-vigour management, whatever, it's definitely the stems.

Plenty weight in our winter wheat few bits gone down that were in grass for along time other than that most still standing for the time being

@static, hearing bad reports in Siskin standing power, we have been advised that it should be ok if drilled after the 20ish of September. Obviously out from your experience!

It's still up, and has had the treatment so should be fine. But after going to two trials days and hearing great stuff about it, I can see on here and from my experiences that it is one for the bin. Has been discussed elsewhere that it seems to be a fussy wheat and if it is weak too then will be lacking in redeeming features, especially given how good the Lili looks.
