Barley Lodging

[Neddy flanders]

Which winter varieties have stood up well to the last few days, and which haven't?

 

[tr250]

Bazooka and cassia here all stood bar one field of cassia after grass which was always taller than the rest so expected

 

[Bury the Trash]

California fine here

 

[teslacoils]

I hesitate to say my glacier only has an overlap or two down so far. Most that have taken a battering are the six rows. Bigger heads. Fill earlier. Longer straw.

 

[Mrfarmjunk]

All my Orwell standing here.

 

[Try to succeed]

My Funky is still standing bar one goering. Plenty of 6 row gone down in the area though. I’ve heard of wheat flattened in lincs?

Possibly the south of the county on more peaty soil. Much of the wheat in North lincs is only really just flowering so shouldn't be that heavy. I've seen some on old much heaps going down. But not much.

There is some fairly raggedy osr today though.

So far!! Maris Otter only down a bit in the ins and outs where the sprayer has overlapped but have seen some horrendous ones on the way to cereals yesterday had heard that Holbeach had a 103mm!

 

[Tompkins]

100 acres of Orwell still stood here.

 

[Bramble]

Cassia and Pastoral both flat.

Some Crusoe and Diego in small patches

 

[Jon 3085]

Even the trees are going over here [emoji849]

 

[welger]

Take some threshing to get the grain out of that....

I was surprised to see a lot of barley is already on the turn.

Also saw one field of very flat wheat on my travels. Looked to be a very dark green variety like Shamrock used to be - Crusoe perhaps. Was tall and thick.

Few patches of Orwell down here, in crops that I was concerned looked quite thin in the Spring. Crows started at in down one side of a long thin field, which has iron railings for them to perch on.

9/10 on it was gravity.
Well mine is tall, gorgeous dark green...and half an acre is flat as the proverbial. And at only 50 odd ml since this november weather started I have less excuse than many. ( Second application of 3C and moddus pulled due to impending risk of drought stress )

Both fields of gravity have large patches lodged here. Barley is largely ok, as is the other wheat

 

[bankrupt]

My Funky is still standing

Same here

Last week it looked by far the worst of all our six-rows, having suffered most from the late-lamented drought.

Now it looks the best.

And, thanks to an honourable seed merchant, no 2-row contamination in Funky this year to reduce the specific weight.
