Don’t grow any spring barley. Potatoes were planted two weeks ago, and maize won’t go in until first week in May. We needed this rain .

 

[Adeptandy]

We just need it to rain

Put ours in yesterday but ploughed up very dry.... nice drop of 'growing ' rain would be useful not the cold stuff we have been having. Another frost this morning !!

 

[cowgirl95]

Any sort of rain would do here in Yorkshire only had 5ml in the last 4 weeks

To cold , been frosty every morning for days , getting dry again as well, need it wet n warm.

Just sown some spring barley, dust was flying when rolling

Seriously thinking of leaving sowing till May in the future. It's either Monsoon, or artic blasts in April.

 

[Bury the Trash]

Cold soil here , cold easterly wind almost the most cold as it's been all winter.
Dry as well.

Techno grazng wont help at this point but a load or 2 of nice clean beet would .

April has been a bit of a non event here. Feels like we have been in a fridge for weeks. Grass growth slow. Crop growth slow. Very dry and cold. Big cracks in the ground.

Sat here in front of the fire working out my spray order but not very enthusiastic about spending on crops that are desperately short of water.

Not ploughed yet

 

[Wombat]

Last bit of barley going in tomorrow now the cows are off the turnips. Started quite nicely but been cold for a while now

 

[Adeptandy]

Have pre em for S Beans and S Barley sitting in the shed, not as enthusiastic to put it on as the agronomist, dusty dry on top and no forecast of rain

 

[Chae1]

Looks like warming up a lot this week. No moisture in forecast though. Will put pre em on worst fields for amg but leave rest.

If we can get rid of this cold cruel wind it will be a bonus.
