Barley still green as a lick here. Can’t really say it’s even started to turn yet.
Just checked data from weather station and we have had 80mm since 24th May.
Is your barley you hope to cut on Friday 6 row?
We've had less than 20mm, An Gof, which is a lot more than some.
You've certainly managed to turn the tables on us this time, after last year's slight setback.
Even in those pictures of the crimped stuff, there was a lot of heads that hadn’t even necked over.
Yes, can't wait to get started.
Quite unlike last year, I can see only four big problems coming up here, this time
(1) WB will be reasonable yield but difficult to get the awns off.
(2) WO will be moderate yield but very low bushel.
(3) WW will be low yield, very small grain, but OK bushel.
(4) All our straw customers will be extremely unhappy.

All good then
You forgot the 5th problem, high screenings from the seed cleaner
when home saving seed. Never mind low TSW will reduce seed rates

I still
myself that all this good weather has come too soon. I’m reckoning on another wet August, Murphy’s Law is very strong in these parts. dannewhouse

I feel the same!!!I still
good start to the barley then start with snatch and grab, same snatch and grab for drilling then and up with more than wanted into spring corn. … would love to be proved wrong on some/all of it I don't want it so dry at drilling either for pre ems or emergence!
seed rates
Should save 5 tonne or so with a bit of luck.

My barley is 8/9% and starting to brakel over. Certainly wants cutting, just need to get the hay baled.

How dry has it been with you? Do you reckon it has hit yields?
It’s been dry but I think maybe not as dry as further east ? We caught 25mm in a thunderstorm about 3 or 4 weeks ag and another 5mm 2 weeks back
OSR and wheat look good but wheat coukd seriously do with a drink for good grainfill - ifp yield prediction running at 4.6 OSR 9.8t/ha wheat ave and hasn’t dropped over the last week or so which I really don’t think can be right now ....... but I hope they are !
Beans look very poor this year, oats ok but really need a drink and same for spring barley or neither will be good
A nice thunderstorm would be welcome right now !

You've definitely had more rain than us. Can Rhiza account for soil moisture?

Probably about 10 days away from the first field of w barley been ready here some is about a month away though due to the bad weather when we where trying to drill it.
Rhiza says 8t/ha for the barley and 10t/ha average for the ww, I’ll be happy with that. Just need to service and the combine now!

Yes the dashboard shows soil moisture at 10 and 200mm. Not measured with a probe though just based on their hyper local weather and existing knowlage of our soils from zoning
I really can’t see their current yield predictions being right though even though I would be over the moon if it was !!
